Located in Western Montgomery County, PA, Collegeville is
home to Ursinus College and to Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline pharmaceutical offices. Collegeville is also within commuting
distance to the Merck pharmaceutical site in West Point, as well as the King of
Prussia business district and Great Valley corporate center. Route 422 is close
by, as are Route 202, the Schuylkill Expressway,
and the PA Turnpike.
For shopping, Collegeville residents have several choices of
grocery stores, including Wegmans, Kimberton Whole Foods, and Redner’s. The
Providence Town Center, a newer outdoor shopping center, offers a large variety
of stores, including an independent bookstore, numerous restaurants, and the
Movie Tavern.
For outdoor recreation, residents can enjoy the trail system,
Valley Forge Park, and Evansburg State Park. The popular Perkiomen Trail runs
through Collegeville and is used by cyclists, walkers, and runners. Parts of
the trail are paved, and parts are unpaved and very scenic.Heading north, the Perkiomen Trail runs along
the Perkiomen Creek and extends to Schwenksville and Green Lane. Heading south,
the trail heads to Oaks, where cyclists can pick up the Schuylkill River
Trail and continue past Conshohocken and into Philadelphia.
Collegeville Borough is a small,
older town, surrounded by Trappe Borough, Perkiomen Township, Skippack
Township, Upper Providence Township, and Lower Providence Township.Houses in parts of these surrounding
municipalities also have a Collegeville postal address.
Because school district
boundaries are governed by township and borough boundaries, not postal
addresses, not all houses with a Collegeville mailing address are in the same
school district. Many are in the Perkiomen Valley school district, but others
are in the Spring-Ford or Methacton district.
Housing types vary widely and
include modest townhouses, small single homes, newer upscale townhouses, and large
single homes on spacious lots. Buyers
can find many styles of older homes, newer homes, and new construction.
