any interim adjustments. The county bill is what the offices say it is, not what a website computes.

Buyer framing (curated): I-95 and SEPTA corridors reward commuters. Bensalem, Falls, Newtown, and Yardley each carry different tax and school profiles — entry value with real tradeoffs.

Roads
Street Road (PA 132) / County Line Road
The township's two working corridors — retail on Street Road, the Montgomery County line on the other side.
Upper Southampton — Southampton, on the mailing label — is a settled postwar suburb where the
interesting lifestyle story is the old rail line: the corridor that once carried passenger
trains through town is being converted to a walking and cycling trail, stitched through the
township’s existing park system. Until then, Street Road handles the errands and Tamanend-era
history gives the town its street names.
Schools here are Centennial (shared with Warminster), which prices the township below its
Council Rock neighbor Northampton — that line on the map is one of Bucks County’s clearest
school-premium comparisons. No rail commute exists today; drivers work with Street Road,
County Line, and the Turnpike’s Willow Grove interchange over the county line.
A Upper Southampton Township address is presumed to sit in Centennial SD, but boundaries split streets — confirm the assignment for the exact parcel. Assessment matters more than the $439,200 median suggests: Bucks County assesses at a fraction of market value, so two similar Upper Southampton Township homes can carry very different bills.
