A characterful small town with an easy commute to Philadelphia’s biggest cities

Historic Quaint Small Business Laidback

Located just off Pennsylvania State Route 100 about an hour’s drive northwest from Philadelphia, Boyertown is a borough of just 4,000 people that combines old world charm and modern conveniences in an endearing setting. Boyertown’s center is comprised of buildings from the late 19th century, most of which still house locally owned businesses and apartments. There’s a sufficient selection of restaurants, businesses, and late-night watering holes to keep Boyertown residents entertained, but many commute to surroundings cities for a greater variety of nightlife and retail options.

You can see a movie at the historic State Theatre, in operation for over 100 years and still providing affordable screenings in an alluring atmosphere. Boyertown is only an hour from Downtown Philadelphia thanks to Interstate 76 and U.S. Highway 422.
