Sellersville Yardley

Two Bucks County contenders, $225K 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 $550K.
  • Yardley has a train (60 min to Center City); Sellersville doesn't. For some households that ends the conversation.
  • Sellersville owns the night: more taprooms, later rooms.
  • Yardley wins the browse. The shops are the afternoon.
  • Sellersville has more on the marquee: stages, screens, festivals.

A Saturday in each

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.

Yardley

  • The Yardley Inn: Built in 1832 as the White Swan Inn, this white-clapboard spot sits right where the old covered bridge crossed the Delaware, and the kitchen still cooks off named sources like Griggstown quail and Loch Duart salmon.
  • Boro Vintage: Owner Adam Hiner hand-picks every piece himself, so the inventory swings with whatever caught his eye that month.
  • Gather Place Museum: A living-history museum in the 1877 A.M.E.
