Originally from Allentown, moved to Pennsburg for a year, before moving to central PA. It is in the middle of two other communities, East Greenville and Red Hill. There are enough local services (i.e. Walmart in East Greenville and Weis Markets in Pennsburg proper), a decent library, and YMCA. For more corporate stuff, Quakertown is 10 miles east and has most everything.

It looks like you will be close to Green Lane reservoir, which has nice trails from paved, unpaved, or gonzo. It is rolling hills through the area, with a nasty one alongside Route 29. The unpaved gravel trails are fun, but watch out for horses. In nearby Perkiomenville, the Green Lane Trails connects with the Perkiomen Valley Rail-Trail, which is gravel and flat. This connects to the Schuylkill River Trail that goes to Philly.

Another fun park closeby is Quakertown Borough Park. Nice community park that is loosely connected to the Upper Bucks Rail-Trail, that goes all the way up to Hellertown.

The history is very interesting for being one of the first locations of Schwenkfelder settlement of Germans in the 1730s and some structures of their time are still up in the area. Other German denominations of the early-mid 1700s are still prevalent of the area (just modernized) as the land was cheap to farm and bordered treaties with the Amerindians, until the Walking Purchase of 1737. Quakertown is famous for the Fries' rebellion in 1798 (tax issues).

I am a big fan of going to the Spinnerstown Hotel for food whenever I get a chance (thinking of going there Valentine's weekend with my lady). Great beer selection, food, and service. It is halfway between Pennsburg and Quakertown. I like going to QMart too, but some people may not due to political sensitivities and how "cheap" things look.
