By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team Gilbertsville is the kind of place people find when they want more. More house. More yard. A little more quiet at the end of the day. It sits at the northwest edge of Montgomery County, where Route 73 crosses Route 100, and it shares a main street with the borough of Boyertown right over the Berks County line. If you have driven Route 100 north past Pottstown, you...
By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team Lansdale is ending free public EV charging. The borough is moving to a paid system with idle fees and a ban on overnight parking at its charging stations, according to NorthPennNow reporting in May 2026. Drivers will need the Tesla app, an account, and a credit card on file to use the borough's Level 2 chargers. Specific rates have not been announced yet. This is...
By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team Two stories landed in Philadelphia housing this past week, and together they tell you exactly where the city's real estate market is heading. First: housing advocates and tenants in West Philadelphia are pressing the city to acquire 925 privately owned affordable rental units before expiring affordability restrictions allow rents to rise. The portfolio houses...
By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team Middletown Township in Bucks County just made a major land-use decision. Township supervisors approved a zoning change that turns an 85-acre former landfill at 2011 West Lincoln Highway into a Logistics Center Overlay District. The site is a federally designated Superfund site that has been contaminated since at least the 1940s. The new district allows light...
By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team Plymouth Township sits at one of the most connected addresses in Montgomery County. The Pennsylvania Turnpike, Route 476, and Germantown Pike all run through it, putting Center City Philadelphia, the King of Prussia corridor, and the Lehigh Valley within easy reach. That access is one of the biggest reasons buyers keep choosing this Township over neighboring towns...
By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team Jet fuel has been detected in another private well in Upper Makefield Township’s Mount Eyre area. This is the same neighborhood where a Sunoco pipeline leak went undetected for more than 16 months before being discovered last year. A monitoring well used by the pipeline companies also tested positive on April 1. At least a dozen residential wells in this area have...
By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team The Bensalem Township School Board just voted to eliminate 31 positions for the 2026-2027 school year. The list includes elementary teachers, special education teachers, librarians, guidance counselors, and nine administrative roles.

By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team Lower Merion School District is proposing a 3.5% property tax increase for the 2026-2027 school year. That is the maximum allowed under Pennsylvania’s Act 1 Index. For a median-assessed home at $250,680, the tax bill would climb from $8,841 to $9,150. An extra $309 a year. The district is closing a budget gap of just over $9.5 million, with the school board...
By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team PECO just blinked. Pennsylvania's largest utility company, which serves 1.7 million customers across southeastern Pennsylvania, had been seeking a 12.5% increase in residential electric rates and an 11.4% increase for residential natural gas customers. Under pressure from Governor Josh Shapiro and state legislators, PECO announced it is withdrawing both requests....
By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team PECO Energy filed a request with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission on March 30 seeking a $429 million rate increase that would raise the average residential electric bill by $20 per month and natural gas bills by about $14.50 per month starting January 1, 2027. For customers who get both electricity and gas from PECO — which covers most of Montgomery,...
