Burb vs. burb

Lansdale Sellersville

Montgomery County against Bucks County, $125K apart on a typical house, and two different ideas of a Saturday. The tale of the tape:

Quick verdict

A Saturday in each

Lansdale

  • Hong Kong Kitchen: Takeout Chinese on South Broad with the full canon on the menu: egg rolls, General Tso's, lo mein, teriyaki beef.
  • Corner Masala: South Asian corner grocery on Fifth Street where the stock doesn't stop at food — Indian clothing and jewelry share the floor.
  • SKR Sim Racing Center: Seven pro-grade racing simulators on Derstine Ave, opened in 2024, with direct-drive wheels, hydraulic load-cell pedals, and triple 43-inch displays.

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.
