Chalfont is a small suburban borough just west of Doylestown and about thirty miles due north of Philadelphia. The community is almost entirely residential, and the combination of an exceptionally low crime rate and extremely high-performing schools makes it a highly popular area for families. Butler Avenue serves as the commercial backbone of the borough—this is where you’ll find popular local hangouts like Solid Rock Café & Bookstore, Pina’s Pizzeria, and Towerhill Brewery.
When you’re in the mood for a change of pace, the nearby city of Doylestown offers a much broader selection of shopping, dining, nightlife, and the arts (including multiple museums and a theater specializing in independent cinema), and of course Philadelphia is only a few minutes down the road.
