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.

Ranks and county medians are computed across all Bucks County municipalities reporting each measure in the
American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates. Rank 1 is the highest value, not the "best" —
a high median home value and a long commute are both rank 1 at the top of their columns.

Richland Township is in UGI's gas service territory; mains do not reach every road.
Richland Township wraps around Quakertown Borough, and the borough line is a utility line: inside
it, the borough’s municipal electric department serves; in Richland, the regional utilities do.
PECO and PPL territories meet in this part of Upper Bucks, so the electric provider is an address
fact — check it on PA Power Switch rather than assuming either company.
Gas is UGI territory, but territory is not the same as service: along the Route 309 corridor and in
the developed neighborhoods mains are common, while outlying roads may run on propane or oil heat.
UGI’s address-level availability tool gives the real answer, and listings that say “gas available
at street” deserve a quote for the connection cost before closing.

Roads
PA 309 corridor
Upper Bucks' big-box retail spine runs through the township — the county's northern shopping destination.
Richland wraps around Quakertown Borough and holds most of what people think of as
“Quakertown” shopping: the Route 309 corridor’s big-box retail, groceries, and services all
sit in the township. Veterans Park hosts the movie nights and community events, and Lake
Nockamixon is a fifteen-minute drive east.
The pattern is newer single-family and townhome stock with Quakertown Community schools and
every errand within ten minutes — suburban convenience transplanted into Upper Bucks
pricing. The corridor itself is the trade-off: 309 traffic is constant, so buyers should
choose streets by how their daily loop crosses it, not by distance to the stores.
