Quakertown, PA

Quakertown School District will be closing Haycock Elementary at the end of this school year. They district has been trying to do for many years and the school was on the chopping block last year and the board kept it open one more year. They expressed the cost to repair the school would be too much and there was really isn't room to expand if needed. The parents and children are really upset of course.

The full story can be found through The Intelligencer

Haycock is a rural area and there isn't any large housing development. There isn't a big turn over in resales in the area and very few new construction homes. Most of the township is state gamelands for Lake Nockamixon and county owned park, Lake Towhee. This has reflect the school enrollment in the area. There are many people that do not have children who live at home anymore. The 3 nearest elementary schools are not that far away. The 3 schools are Richland, Neidig, & Quakertown Elementary.

Visit the Quakertown Community School District Site to view the area schools.

Farewell to the my old elementary school. I met some of my best friends there that I still have :) The memories of those days were pretty good and stress free.

The area is still a beautiful place to live. If you are searching for in the Quakertown Area contact in Marcie Purcell 215-534-2539 and Linda Tremblay 215-534-2369

People ask me all the time why I decided to open my own Real Estate Office? After all, I was a successful Sales Manager with the largest firm in the market and likely could have stayed there for many years if I chose to. It certainly would have been a safer bet, especially with 2 kids in college. I have to admit part of the reasoning was selfish on my part. I wanted the opportunity to run a business myself. I’m also very fortunate to have a supportive wife who happens to have a full time job as a Nurse (Thank you Trina). But I also got to see up close what works and what doesn’t in the Real Estate business. The traditional model of an office with many agents, some good, some not so good, but all charging the same high fees has created a need in the marketplace for an alternative business model. Assist 2 Sell Buyers and Sellers Advantage provides the full service that consumers want but charge a low flat fee. Consumers benefit by often saving thousands in commissions and I benefit because more consumers are attracted to my brand. My goal is to have the most “consumer-centric” Real Estate Company in the area. Although I still have alot to learn, I’m starting to see the results of my efforts. I like the fact that consumers can go to my website (www.QuakertownAreaHomes.com), and with a few clicks of the mouse, learn about my programs, my basic marketing plan and the fees I charge. Sounds pretty basic but try finding that stuff on any of my competitors websites.

Located in the backwoods of Quakertown, the Raven’s Nest exudes a cozy country-style atmosphere where one can come to get away from it all. Chatty bartenders run a one-man show by cooking the food, making the drinks and serving all of the patrons. Locals flock to “the nest” for great live performances (mostly blues) and tasty grub. Cheese steaks, burgers and loaded pierogies are all wise choices. Pick a different spot for watching sports as the venue offers only one TV.
