Collegeville is a great place to live, play and work. It is a close-knit community, that takes pride in their neighborhoods, streets, and parks. There are various housing available, single-family detached houses, townhouses, Victorian and craftsman style homes and new construction. The neighborhoods are connected by a well developed network of sidewalks, three parks, and the Perkiomen Trail. Local merchants provide many of the goods and services for the region and the city is close to the shopping malls in King of Prussia and Plymouth Meeting. Collegeville is home to Ursinus College and next to the Wyeth World Headquarters and many other corporate employers and providers.
