Doylestown apartments can be quite comfortable in this small Pennsylvania borough of around 8,000 people. Some of the early residents became quite famous and make the town somewhat of a tourist attraction. This means great restaurants and unique shopping, plus a lovely small town feel in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
Doylestown has its own Central Park, encompassing over 108 acres. Five tennis courts, two basketball courts, a volleyball court, three soccer fields and an A1 Golf Link offer plenty of recreation for the Dublin apartment
resident. If that's not enough, an outdoor amphitheater, an eight story Kids Castle, a picnic pavilion and other picnic areas dot the landscape of this enjoyable park. Neamand and Ridings Tracts are great for walking, kite flying and tossing the ball. Sauerman Park offers a woody get-away from the hustle and bustle of life, while Turk Park provides softball, t-ball and football fields. For more information on these parks and others, visit www.doylestownpa.org/ and click on Parks and Recreation.
Renowned author James A. Michener made his home here in Doylestown, as did archaeologist Henry Chapman Mercer and Nobel Peace winning author Pearl S. Buck. An art museum dedicated to Michener is here, as well as the Mercer Museum where a collection of early American artifacts are located. In addition, Fonthill is former home of Mercer and houses many of his collected artifacts from around the world.
For a home cooked meal to serve to your friends in your Doylestown apartments, check out the Doylestown Farmers Market, where all the vendors grow, raise, make or bake all that they sell. Fruits and veggies, meats and cheese, baked goods and home decorating crafts can be found every Saturday from the third week in April until the Saturday before Thanksgiving from 7:00 am until noon. But when you don't want to cook, you can enjoy an excellent Italian meal, Chinese food, traditional American and burgers here. Wash down your meal at one of the many local coffee shops or enjoy an ice cream or other sweet treat afterwards.
While there is no shopping mall to furnish you and your friends Doylestown apartments, antique stores are not limited. Located throughout the borough and in surrounding areas, a fun day to plan is admiring and buying part of America's history.
If you are a commuter working in the big city, Doylestown is connected to Philadelphia by SEPTA's R5 Regional Rail Line. If you're more of a flyer, this borough even has its own airport, Doylestown airport, which serves mostly private traffic.
For the learners and educators, the small private Delaware Valley College offers degrees in business, administration and chemistry. The four year college of around 1600 students was originally founded as a farm college, and graduates students in the specialty farming degrees of dairy and crop science.
With the excitement of living near a large city like Philadelphia, but with the calmness of a quiet borough, residents of Doylestown apartments have a great place to call home.
