The Borough on the Lakes
Living in Tullytown, Bucks County
A small borough with big water — riverfront, lakes, Pennsbury schools, and a rail station that shares its name.
Tullytown is a compact borough on the Delaware where several Levittown sections were actually built — the famous community spills across four municipalities, and Tullytown is the smallest of them. What the borough adds on its own is water: Delaware River frontage, and the broad lakes left by the region's sand-and-gravel era that now define its open edges and attract herons, eagles, and fishermen.
The practical package is stronger than the borough's size suggests: Pennsbury schools, the Levittown-Tullytown station on SEPTA's Trenton Line, and Levittown's full retail and services net one turn away. For buyers who want Pennsbury at accessible prices with a small-borough address, Tullytown is a shrewd, overlooked answer.
