Yardley Real Estate FAQs

Is Yardley, PA a good place to live?

Yes, Yardley, PA is widely considered a great place to live for people who want a classic Bucks County lifestyle with an easy commute to Philadelphia and New Jersey. Yardley Borough is the walkable small town core, and many “Yardley” addresses are actually in Lower Makefield Township, which is more suburban and neighborhood focused.

What are the popular neighborhoods in Yardley?

Buyers often ask about Yardley Borough for its walkable historic streets, and about Lower Makefield Township neighborhoods such as Yardley Hunt, Westover, Delavue Manor, Dolington Estates and Regency at Yardley, a 55+ community. Most of these use a Yardley 19067 mailing address, while Dolington Estates uses Newtown 18940, so confirm the municipality on the property record for any home you are considering.

What is the cost of living in Yardley?

Yardley’s cost of living is higher than many parts of Pennsylvania because housing prices are higher in this part of Bucks County. Recent market data shows median sale prices around the mid $500K range for the 19067 zip code, and Yardley itself often tracks similarly depending on the month and the mix of homes sold.

How much are property taxes in Yardley, PA?

Property taxes on a Yardley address are set by three taxing bodies: Bucks County, the municipality (Yardley Borough or Lower Makefield Township) and the Pennsbury School District, which makes up most of the bill. The yearly tax is the assessed value times the combined millage, and one mill is $1 for every $1,000 of assessed value. On the Bucks County 2026 millage chart, the combined rate in Lower Makefield Township is 265.786 mills, so a home assessed at $40,000 would owe about $10,630 a year 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.

What is the nicest town in Bucks County?

There’s no single “nicest” town in Bucks County because it depends on what you value most: walkability, schools, taxes, commute time, and the style of homes you like.
