Doylestown Neighborhoods

Doylestown homes range from historic houses in the borough to newer subdivisions and country properties just outside town. These are five areas buyers often ask about.

  • Doylestown Borough: The county seat and the most walkable part of town. Much of the borough falls within the Doylestown Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with Federal and Late Victorian style homes on residential streets around downtown, a short walk from the County Theater, the Mercer Museum and the Michener Art Museum.
  • Maplewood: About 200 homes on 11 streets in the borough, east of Swamp Road. A local VFW post bought the former farm in 1946 to build homes for returning World War II veterans, and each street is named for a Doylestown resident who died in the war. Homes include Cape Cods, ranches and split levels.
  • Doylestown Lea: Larger single family homes built in the 1990s, many with four or five bedrooms and roughly 3,000 to 4,500 square feet.

How much are property taxes in Doylestown, PA?

Property taxes in Doylestown are set by Bucks County, the municipality (Doylestown Borough or Doylestown Township) and the Central Bucks School District, which makes up most of the bill.

On the Bucks County 2026 millage chart, the combined rate is 206.39 mills in Doylestown Borough and 206.65 mills in Doylestown Township, so a home assessed at $50,000 would owe about $10,320 a year in the borough or $10,333 in the township before any homestead exclusion. Bucks County assessed values are far below market prices, so check the county property record for a home's assessment and most recent tax bill.
