Upper Providence Township Reviews
Rating 3.93 out of 5 41 reviews
Moving in, Collegeville was a very quiet place to live. Recent construction brings in noises that I missed while living elsewhere. Although home construction is located throughout, when I first moved in there was no close shopping center. Now there is one right down the street and up the road from my house; just a few minutes away! The environment is clean and there is less to worry about.
We have a lovely community with quaint shops and restaurants, very involved citizens who volunteer for frequent events, and hundreds of programs developed for children. There are a vast array of churches but a very accepting mentality of people of all religions and backgrounds. Recent renovations of Royersford's main borough has left it looking even more darling, and the beautiful trails, forested areas, and small stretches of farmland surrounding the town only add to the pleasing aesthetic. Bring your children here to thrive in a flourishing educational system and community, enjoy the scenic work commute to the larger urbanized areas/cities 20-40 min away from the safety of a beautiful small town, and retire here where everyone is friendly, everything you need is easy to access, and finances are manageable.
I've lived in three different homes all within this general area over the course of my entire life. Everywhere I've lived has been safe, and close to shopping and food. There are new neighborhoods being built everywhere and industry is exploding. This area is definitely on the upswing and has been trending that way for the past two decades. Overall, this is a fantastic area to live independently or raise a family.
