Estimated annual total
Estimate only: assessed value × mills ÷ 1,000 per layer, before the homestead exclusion or
any interim adjustments. The county bill is what the offices say it is, not what a website computes.
More land per dollar, lower density, borough anchors like Quakertown and Perkasie, and the most patient appreciation in the county.
Buyer framing (curated): More land per dollar, borough downtowns like Quakertown and Perkasie, and Pennridge or Quakertown schools. Buyers who want space often start here.

Roads
PA 113 / PA 152 / PA 309 web
Three state routes cross the township — Souderton, Perkasie, Dublin, and Chalfont are all short, direct drives.
Hilltown is the big in-between township of west-central Bucks: farmland and newer
single-family neighborhoods spread across the triangle between Perkasie, Souderton, and
Chalfont, with three state routes making all of them convenient and none of them the
identity. The township’s open-space program has kept real farmland in the mix, which is why
it still reads as country despite steady building.
Schools are Pennridge, and value per square foot generally beats both the Central Bucks
townships to the east and Souderton’s Montgomery County side — that arbitrage is Hilltown’s
quiet appeal. There’s no town center and no transit; buyers should pick their corner of the
township by which route (113, 152, or 309) their life runs along.
