Bensalem Township is a family friendly neighborhood that is often ranked as one of the best places to live in the country. It is quiet, peaceful, and has all of the essentials one needs in a community. There are both private and public schooling options in addition to many points of access to highways. One might see this as a good or bad thing, but Bensalem is extremely quiet. There isn't a night life (other than Parx Casino) and it can be very boring. If you are content with a day to day routine without much variation, Bensalem is perfect for you!
Bensalem is midway between NY and DC.
It abuts Phila and has lower taxes on income and business. It has numerous recreational facilities as well as sports organizations. Bensalem is diversified with ample shopping, public transportation, public and private schools, satellite college campuses, plenty off job opportunities and a variety of entertainment. Bensalem has a well trained and equipped police department with a stellar reputation. It’s so convenient for driving with I-95, Pa Turnpike, Route 1 & 13, & 132 as well as Woodhaven Rd all dissecting the township with access to all of them. Bensalem has a variety of housing including several senior facilities as well as a veterans complex. There is a library, churches of many faiths, golf course, casino, senior center, amphitheater, and 3 major train stations. It’s pretty much has everything to raise a family.

Bensalem is a town in Bucks County in Pennsylvania, 30 minutes from Philadelphia.
I moved hero almost one year ago. I can definitely say this town offer a big selection of grocery stores and supermarkets near by.
There is plenty communities with apartments for rent but real estate market is not very satisfying.
Speaking about affordability, I can say it’s not very expensive here to rent a place and shopping for groceries.
Bensalem has lots of parks around the city where everybody can go to relax.
Also, this city has plenty of doctor clinics and hospitals around what is very important.
If I would be able to change something in this town, I would make more places for young people where they can go to meet, spend some time and just enjoy. There is lots of places for families but not young people. I can’t say anything about nightlife because as I said there is no places where young people can go to.
