Daily life

What living here is really like

Upper Makefield is the county’s estate-country river township: large-lot rolling horse country inland, and the Washington Crossing village on the water — where the park that reenacts the 1776 crossing every Christmas doubles as the neighborhood green. The canal towpath runs the township’s full river frontage, so a flat riverside ride to Yardley or New Hope starts at the end of the lane.

This is a deliberately car-dependent address — no rail, no bus spine, and residents like it that way. The trade is privacy and river scenery for driving to everything; check the flood section carefully for River Road properties, and expect the Council Rock school assignment to do a lot of the resale work inland.

state park Washington Crossing Historic Park The Christmas-crossing site itself — the park's lower section sits in the township's river village.
trail Delaware Canal towpath The towpath follows the township's entire river frontage.
