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 A controversial 2-million-square-foot AI data center has been resubmitted for zoning approval in Plymouth Township, less than a mile from downtown Conshohocken. Six months ago, the same developer pulled the application over a legal technicality. Now it’s back. More than 1,200 residents have already signed a petition opposing it. If you own a home in...
By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team Three Bucks County municipalities are now in the middle of data center fights. Falls Township. West Rockhill. And East Rockhill, which just advertised a new ordinance to regulate data centers before any application even arrives. Add to that a state senator from Bucks County proposing legislation to give towns the power to pause data center applications...
By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team Real estate investor Dean Adler is going on offense in the Philadelphia suburbs. He is closing on the purchase of Plymouth Meeting Mall in May. He has plans to buy and redevelop the 137-acre property that used to be Franklin Mills in Northeast Philadelphia. Combined with his previously announced Centre Square office redevelopment in Center City, his projects would...
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. The district is staring down a $12 million budget shortfall, and even after these cuts and some bond restructuring, there is still a...
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 Limerick Township is at the center of one of the biggest land use debates in Montgomery County right now. Two separate proposals would put more than three million square feet of data center development on either side of Route 422, one on the former Publicker Distillery site along Main Street and another directly across from the Philadelphia Premium Outlets. Add...
By Josh McKnight | The McKnight Team Abington Township does not make a lot of noise. It doesn't need to. Buyers find it on their own once they start doing the math — good housing stock, a manageable commute into the city, and a price point that still makes sense compared to what's available closer to Philadelphia. Right now, that combination is creating real competition, and anyone shopping here...
