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

Exposure: Delaware River · Delaware Canal · Buck Creek
Yardley’s borough core sits low along the Delaware River, with the Delaware Canal and Buck Creek
threading through town — three separate ways water reaches streets here. The borough was hit in
each of the three Delaware main-stem floods of September 2004, April 2005, and June 2006, among
the most damaging river events since the record 1955 flood.
Expect Zone AE mapping along the river, canal, and creek corridors, with shaded Zone X on
adjacent blocks — but flood zone is a property-line fact. Pull the FEMA map for the exact
address before you price an offer, and ask the seller for the property’s flood-insurance and
claims history.
The canal and towpath run straight through town — a flat run/bike route for miles in both directions.
Roads
I-295 access
The bridge to New Jersey and the I-295 interchanges sit at the borough's edge.
Yardley is one of the few Bucks County addresses where “walk to the train, run on the towpath”
is a literal description of a Tuesday: the West Trenton Line stops in the borough, and the
Delaware Canal towpath threads between Main Street and the river. That combination — plus a
compact, genuinely pretty downtown — is why the borough trades at a premium over most of Lower
Bucks.
The river that makes the town also floods it; read this profile’s flood section before falling
for a canal-side listing. For getting out, I-295 and the Scudder Falls bridge are minutes away,
putting both Trenton-corridor and Philadelphia commutes in play from the same front door.
