202 Apartments for Rent

Souderton: One of the 20 "Classic Towns" of the Greater Philadelphia Region

A sleepy little town in the Philadelphia suburbs, Souderton is a quiet community with a lot of well-established families with deep roots. It's a commuter town, almost exclusively residential, with only a small handful of commercial or industry in the town itself. It is convenient to Philadelphia, Allentown, Norristown, and Valley Forge, all the major business centers of the region.

Moving to Souderton

Bring a car, an umbrella, and a good list of references when you start looking for apartments for rent in Souderton. You'll need the car because, like many growing suburban towns and boroughs, Souderton is somewhat spread out -- necessities such as supermarkets aren't really within walking distance of a lot of residential areas. You'll need a list of references because you'll want to keep lead time low -- apartments for rent are in fairly high demand thanks to Souderton being convenient to the major business areas of southeastern Pennsylvania. Finally, you'll need the umbrella because the weather is highly unpredictable.

Souderton Neighborhoods

Souderton lacks any real neighborhoods, but most folks talk about the closest big street.

Downtown: The downtown is row homes and duplexes for rent on every street, as well as a few apartment buildings and commercial buildings. The most notable is the headquarters of Univest Bank, a massive structure on the main intersection. A lot of these buildings are older, most of them dating to before 1940, which means that many of the townhouses for rent can fit into a tight budget.

Cherry Lane: The Cherry Lane neighborhood is older, single-family homes. If you're looking for a yard behind your house, look for a home for rent in this neighborhood. School Lane is a similar neighborhood to Cherry Lane, with many similar types of properties and a similar sense of community, and a handful of rental houses.

Wile Avenue: Mostly rowhomes, you'll find some duplexes for rent in this neighborhood as well. It's hilly, and characterized by the numerous streets such as Green Street and Walnut Street that seem to become their own sub-neighborhoods.

Living in Souderton

Souderton is very much a commuter town. Many residents travel out of town for entertainment, work, restaurants, and shopping. As we said before, you'll need a car, not just because of how spread out the town is, but also because there are very limited SEPTA routes in and out of the area.

Souderton shares quite a bit with its neighboring town of Telford, including parades, a farmer's market, bars, restaurants, and more. Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to tell where the boundary line is between the two, but most folks don't worry.

A lot of the activities in Souderton revolve around the Community Park and Public Pool, particularly during the summer. Sundaes in the Park are always a major attraction, featuring instrumental ensembles as well as local pop and rock acts. Even without the festivities, the Park is a popular place to hang out on nice days, and the pool is always full in the summer.

The Souderton area is a big supporter of the arts throughout the year. The Indian Valley Arts Foundation services Souderton, Telford, and the Lower Salford areas, commonly referred to as the Indian Valley. Souderton even has its own theater - the Montgomery Theater, housed in a renovated fire house, puts on a number of wonderful shows throughout the year, while also providing camps and workshops for budding actors and actresses of all ages.
