Scenic Newtown Township has rich historical heritage. William Penn originally purchased 5,000 acres from the Leni Lenape Indians in 1683. Penn named this land my “New Township” and over time the name became Newtown Township. Newtown also served as County Seat of Bucks County from 1726 through 1813. At that point up to now , the Court resides in Doylestown. Newtown Borough developed in 1838 with its commercial and housing focus. Today Newtown Borough has a charming Main Street that is enjoyed by all ages and includes theaters, restaurants, coffee houses, boutiques, ice cream parlors, parks, libraries, health clubs, athletic shops, bookstores, medical offices, and much more. Residents from Newtown Township as well as surrounding townships love to take trips into the borough simply to walk its streets.
This once very rural area has had much building over the years, replacing some of the farmland, yet still maintaining some farms and that fresh air rural feel. A true sense of history and Colonial charm is felt throughout the area with its landscape scattered with old stone farm style homes, Colonial homes and Victorian homes. Like Upper Makefield, Lower Makefield and Yardley, Newtown Township and Borough maintain a Historic District as well as a land conservation commitment.
Township buildings are located at 100 Municipal Drive, Newtown, Pa. 18940. Telephone: (215) 968-2800. Students residing in the area attend the Council Rock School District and have a selection of nearby private schools. For more information go HERE.

Bargain Properties >Diamonds in the Rough
There are a lot of "diamonds in the rough" for sale. A property with incredible potential may be in a great location, have large sunny rooms and a big yard, but it may also have dated wall paper, worn carpeting, and uninspired bathrooms. If you can look beyond the surface, you may see a house that could be transformed by a little "elbow grease", paint, and new carpets.
A house that is structurally sound with all the systems in good condition may be only a few cosmetic repairs away from being fantastic! A home that does not show well is usually priced accordingly. If the price doesn't reflect the condition of the house, the seller may be more willing to negotiate than a seller who has made a considerable investment in preparing a home for the market.
Bring your imagination with you on your next house hunting trip! You may be pleasantly surprised to find a diamond in the rough.
