Newtown-Upper Makefield

It’s easy to be charmed by Newtown’s Norman Rockwell-like streetscapes with their 18th- and 19th-century residences, shops, restaurants and movie theater (the oldest operating movie theater in the U.S.) As the “town” for the wealthy surrounding area of Upper Makefield Township, its central business district is hopping and also is on the National Register of Historic Places. Easy access to Princeton and Philadelphia adds to Newtown’s popularity.
