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.
Assessment, deed, parcel, and municipal contact checks belong in every serious housing decision. These links route to official or curated public-source hubs — not secondary aggregators.

a high median home value and a long commute are both rank 1 at the top of their columns.

Springfield Township is in UGI's gas service territory; most rural roads have no mains.
Springfield is one of the county’s most rural townships, and the utility map reflects it. UGI holds
the gas territory on paper, but mains reach only a fraction of the township’s roads — propane tanks
and oil heat are the working reality for much of the housing stock, and wells and septic systems
are the norm rather than the exception.
Electric service in this corner of Upper Bucks is where PPL’s territory reaches into the county, so
don’t assume PECO — run the address through PA Power Switch. The practical checklist for a
Springfield property: confirm the electric utility, check UGI’s tool for gas availability, and
treat the well test and septic inspection as core diligence, not add-ons.
The township's community park — the gathering point for a municipality that is otherwise ridge and farmland.
Landmark
Springtown village and the ridge country
The village center of a township defined by wooded ridgelines and the upper Cooks Creek valley.
Springfield is high-ground Upper Bucks: wooded ridges, the upper Cooks Creek valley, and the
village of Springtown at its center, with Peppermint Park serving as the township’s shared
backyard. An active land-preservation program has kept the landscape intact, which is
precisely why people buy here.
Schools are Palisades, and the practical orbit splits between Quakertown (fifteen minutes
southwest) and the Lehigh Valley over the ridge — Hellertown and Bethlehem are closer than
most of Bucks County. Expect rural infrastructure: wells, septic, and roads that ice before
the valleys do in winter.
