Burb vs. burb

Conshohocken Sellersville

Montgomery County against Bucks County, $171K apart on a typical house, and two different ideas of a Saturday. The tale of the tape:

Quick verdict

  • Your dollar goes further in Sellersville: homes around $325K against $496K.
  • Conshohocken has a train (35 min to Center City); Sellersville doesn't. For some households that ends the conversation.
  • Sellersville is the quieter evening.
  • Conshohocken takes the food question. More kitchens worth arguing about.

A Saturday in each

Conshohocken

  • SaiGon Noodle Kitchen: A small Vietnamese noodle kitchen on Fayette Street, steam rising off the bowls.
  • Thirteen Circles: Part metaphysical shop, part antique and candle store on Fayette Street, stocked with crystals, incense, and curiosities.
  • Conshohocken Art League: The oldest art league in Montgomery County, running fine-art classes and visiting-artist shows out of the historic Mary Wood Park House on East 5th Avenue.

Sellersville

  • The Washington House Hotel & Restaurant: The dinner-and-a-show half of the Sellersville Theater complex, sharing a wall with the 325-seat STG stage so you can eat and walk next door without moving the car.
  • Sellersville Beverage & Cigar: A family beer distributor since 2006, with a walk-in humidor of a few thousand cigars set behind the cases of craft, import, and domestic.
  • Lake Lenape Waterfalls: The spillway pours over a low WPA-built dam into the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek, the natural halfway point on the loop that circles this 122-acre park straddling Sellersville and Perkasie.
