Figures cover Newtown borough. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 5-year estimates. Median home value is what owners estimate their homes are worth, so it trails current sale prices.

$528K median sale price, August 2026, all home types. Assessments are based on 1972 values, so ignore millage and read the actual tax bill.
Jim's tip. Check the township, not the mailing address. A Doylestown mailing address can sit in several different townships, and each one has its own tax rates and rules. School district lines work the same way, so confirm both before you fall for a house.
