Newtown Township and Borough sit in one of Bucks County’s most consistently desirable corridors — driven by Council Rock School District, proximity to major commute routes, and a well-maintained suburban character that holds long-term buyer appeal.
Listing-price data and sale-price data are different series. Borough, Township, and ZIP 18940 are overlapping but not identical geographies. We label each figure by source and geography so you can evaluate the data directly.
Most buyers use “Newtown” as a single place. Borough and Township are legally separate municipalities with different density, walkability, and tax structures. Knowing which you’re buying in matters.
Borough and Township residents both attend Council Rock schools. Municipal tax rates differ between the two entities. Verify your exact tax obligation by parcel address with the Bucks County Board of Assessment at 215-348-6219, or via BucksCounty.info →

Newtown has no SEPTA rail station. If rail access to Philadelphia matters for your household, factor in a 10–15 minute drive to the nearest station first — and compare that directly against Yardley, which has its own West Trenton Line stop.
Morning and evening rush on US-1 is consistent and can add meaningful time to Philadelphia-bound commutes. Most school runs, grocery trips, and daily errands in the Township require a car.
We can walk through Newtown alongside Yardley, Doylestown, or Washington Crossing based on your commute, budget, and school preferences — with real data, not sales pitch.
Niche grades Newtown’s diversity at C and rates nightlife high — meaning few clubs, not an active late-night scene. Buyers seeking an urban population mix or active nightlife should look seriously at New Hope or Doylestown before committing to Newtown.
Council Rock’s reputation is a primary price driver here. Families consistently cite it as the decisive factor over Yardley (Pennsbury SD) and other nearby alternatives. Verify your exact school assignment with CRSD prior to purchase.
Borough and Township are both served by CRSD, but your specific school assignment depends on your parcel address. Confirm directly with Council Rock School District before making any purchase decision based on school boundaries.
We know this market. Let’s compare Newtown against the towns that actually match your priorities — commute, schools, price point, and lifestyle — with real numbers, not sales pitch.
