I grew up in Yardley in the 70's and 80's. Even back then, it was fairly affluent. Many of the people were materialistic and stuck up. Lots of conspicuous consumption, and people tended to flaunt their money.
Considering moving there but I'm still worried about the flooding as the place I'm looking at is on the other (Delaware) side of the canal. Was all that area underwater in the 2021 flood?
@@Philadelphiasuburbs ah okay. Lots of people make that commute from Yardley. They take a short drive to trenton or hamilton NJT stations where its like a 1hr to 1.5 hr train ride tp NY Penn Station
Flooding only happens in Yardley boro on river road which runs alongside the delaware river! Most people live in Lower Makefield twp, which is adjacent (but people still consider it as living in “Yardley)! “ No flooding there, but housing is much higher end depending on the development. It is a lovely area especislly both upper and lower makefield townships. Pennsbury School district used to be more highly-rated, but ratings have slipped quite a bit over the years… disappointing given the high taxes, but likely due to the teachers union and democrats having taken over control! At one time it was highly-rated! The area was once very republican but democrats from NJ and Philly started to move in as the then stupid BOS approved lower income housing developments on the periphery of the town … Disappointing because it led to the overall decline in the school system and general quality of the area. Lots of restaurants, but most are mediocre at best. Hope you are a good cook and only dine out when you feel like driving to Philly 40 minutes away! Or Newtown has a few ok restaurants. Yardley Inn is a very busy place, but the food for the price is mediocre in my opinion. Great ambiance but never had a great meal there, just palatable! McCaffrey Supermarket is great, a little pricy but quality costs more. Best meat and produce around I love this place! The local shopping mall at oxford valley is lowend. So if you want higher end stores like Neiman Marcus, the Kkng of Prussia Mall is 45 minutes down the turnpike. There a few jewels like the Poppy Shop in Yardley boro where you can find gifts and specialty home items even china! Love this store! Best pizza is in Newtown Aqua e Farina! Lots of churches of most demoninations. Great health care options in the area too! Great access to Philly and NY etc via I95 and Turnpike . Also Amtrak station is 20 minutes away in Trenton NJ. Its a great place to live for sure!
The problem with Yardley and other close-by PA towns is: the mass immigration of NY/NJ tax refugees ..... who moved there and immediately forget the reasons that caused them to flee; and then, 'demand' all the conveniences and their increased associated costs, and especially forgot the 'super-high' NJ/NY TAXES. As a result ... the Taxes in these destinations are beginning to escalate exponentially. This is coupled with a complementary substantial loss of the latent (former) widespread local 'civility', sense of community / 'courtesy', plus - 'active volunteerism' of former times. "Local Native Pennsylvanians" now openly discuss the burning down of the bridges across the Delaware River (from Philthydelphya to the New York border at Port Jervis) to prevent the impending substantial 'further decline' caused by the influx of these tax-refugees.

Depending on the specific property, we can check to make sure it’s not in a flood zone.

You are completely right. Yardley is becoming Yardleyfornia
Just curious, what are some of the "conveniences" that are being demanded?
