New Britain — Community Character
New Britain Borough was established in the eighteenth century and its bones show. The historic district along Butler Avenue preserves the commercial and residential character of a Bucks County community that predates the American Revolution. The New Britain Inn has operated as a tavern and inn since the 1800s. The stone structures, the older residential streets, and the general character of a community that has not been entirely remade by suburban development give New Britain a distinctiveness that the planned communities along Route 202 simply cannot replicate.
The surrounding New Britain Township is more conventionally suburban — colonials, split-levels, and newer construction in the $450,000 to $650,000 range that gives buyers Central Bucks School District access at prices that occupy the middle ground between Chalfont's entry-level and Doylestown Township's premium. Buyers who find New Britain Borough's historic character compelling but cannot reach Doylestown Borough's prices find that the corridor between them delivers more than they expected.
