Doylestown contains a multitude of identities: It’s the county seat of Bucks County and is the borough that feels the most like a city, compared to the neighboring hamlets. However, with a population of just over 8,000, it still has a distinctly small-town vibe, with an active community engaged in town celebrations and events like the annual arts festival. And located just 27 miles north of Philadelphia, Doylestown also serves as a suburban option for city folks who are willing to commute. You’ll find a range of housing options here, from small condos to sprawling estates. Residents of Doylestown are justifiably proud of the many independent businesses that line the streets of downtown, including three bookstores, an art house cinema, and tons of great restaurants. It’s also home to multiple supermarkets, a weekly farmers market, and eventually, in 2024, a new Target.
