Just Over the Line From Northeast Philadelphia
Feasterville is the first stop in Bucks County for a lot of Northeast Philly families. County Line Road marks the edge between Lower Southampton Township and Philadelphia. Cross it, and you have a Bucks County address with a yard and a driveway. Yet doctors, relatives, and old friends stay only minutes away.
That pattern goes back decades. Pine Tree Farms, near Bustleton Pike, rose in the early 1950s during the first wave of moves from the Northeast. Today the buyers include downsizing boomers, city workers no longer bound by residency rules, and first-time owners. LiteMovers handles all of them as part of our Bucks County movers service.
Feasterville, Trevose, and Lower Southampton Explained
Feasterville is not its own borough. It is a community inside Lower Southampton Township, which covers about 6.7 square miles. The township once held small villages named Feasterville, Trevose, Oakford, Siles, Brownsville, and Scottsville. Trevose also reaches into Bensalem. Feasterville and Trevose share the 19053 ZIP code, so mail labels often say Feasterville-Trevose.
The village took its name from Aaron Feaster. His family owned land near the old Buck Hotel at Bustleton Pike and Bridgetown Pike. The hotel served as a stagecoach stop and polling place. That same corner is still the heart of Feasterville.
Working Around the Bustleton Pike and Street Road Traffic
Two state roads carry most of the local traffic. Bustleton Pike is PA 532, and Street Road is PA 132. Bridgetown Pike (PA 213), Brownsville Road, Philmont Avenue, and County Line Road fill in the grid. The Pennsylvania Turnpike crosses the township, with the nearest interchange in Bensalem.
Our Feasterville traffic playbook
- ✓Start loading early, before shopping traffic builds along Bustleton Pike and Street Road.
- ✓Avoid left turns across PA 532 with a loaded truck when a side street gives a safer approach.
- ✓Watch for resurfacing work on Route 532, which has closed lanes between Street Road and Bridgetown Pike overnight before.
- ✓Use the Bensalem Turnpike interchange or I-95 for longer trips out of the area.
Feasterville Homes and What They Need on Move Day
Most of the township’s homes went up after World War II. A few houses are 80 to 100 years old, built first as summer places. Sweetwater Farms added about 250 houses in the late 1980s. Newer townhouse rows have been built in recent years.
| Home type | Common move-day detail | How LiteMovers handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Ranch homes. | One floor, but tight hallways and basement stairs. | We pad door frames and take furniture apart where it helps. |
| Capes and bungalows. | Steep, narrow stairs to second-floor bedrooms. | We measure box springs and dressers before carrying them up. |
| Older houses near Bustleton Pike. | Small rooms and older banisters. | Our crew wraps antiques and protects floors. |
| Townhomes. | Shared parking lots and HOA rules. | We check HOA truck rules ahead of time. |
Agents say many downsizers pick a Feasterville ranch over a far-off 55+ community. Single-floor living is the draw. Our senior moving team plans these moves around what will fit in fewer rooms.
