West of Quakertown

Living in Trumbauersville, Bucks County

A compact borough on the western edge of Upper Bucks — village streets, Milford Township farmland, and the Turnpike a few minutes out.

Trumbauersville sits just west of Quakertown, a small borough surrounded by Milford Township’s farmland and creek country. It is the kind of Upper Bucks village that grew up around a crossroads and a rail line and then simply stopped growing, which is why it still reads as a distinct place rather than a Quakertown neighborhood.

For buyers, it offers an established small-town address with genuinely short access to the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s Northeast Extension and Route 663 — a combination that makes Allentown, Bethlehem, and the Lehigh Valley job market realistic without giving up Bucks County schools and countryside.

What to expect when you move to Trumbauersville

The people & the pace

Expect quiet village streets, farmland a minute out, and a short drive to everything practical. Trumbauersville suits buyers who want an established Upper Bucks address with unusually good highway access toward the Lehigh Valley.

The homes

The stock is village residential — older frame and brick houses on modest lots through the borough core, with some newer development at the edges. Inventory is limited by the borough’s size. Values generally reflect Upper Bucks levels, well below the county’s river and Central Bucks markets for comparable space.

Getting around

Route 663 connects to the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s Northeast Extension at Quakertown — Allentown and Bethlehem in roughly 20–25 minutes, and I-78 beyond that. Quakertown is a few minutes east, Doylestown roughly 30 minutes southeast, and Philadelphia generally an hour or more.
