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

Roads
PA 309 / County Line Road
The borough straddles the Bucks–Montgomery line, with 309 delivering Quakertown one way and Montgomeryville the other.
Telford is the borough that lives in two counties — the municipal line with Montgomery County
runs through town, and daily life flows seamlessly into Souderton next door. The Bucks side
offers the same pattern as its twin: a walkable grid, borough parks and trails, and a
main-street scale that survived because the highway went around it.
The notable quirk for buyers: Telford’s Bucks County addresses are served by the Souderton
Area School District, one of the few cross-county district arrangements in the region — so
compare taxes and schools against Souderton, not Pennridge. Route 309 handles the commute;
the North Penn job corridor is fifteen minutes south.
