About Collegeville

Collegeville is a charming Montgomery County borough set along the Perkiomen Creek, about thirty miles northwest of Philadelphia. Home to around 5,000 residents, it has a relaxed, small-town feel with tree-lined streets and plenty of historic character. The town grew around its early schools and took its name from Ursinus College, which was founded here in 1869 and continues to anchor the community today. It makes a great landing spot for anyone who wants a quiet suburban setting with an easy commute around the region.

Perkiomen Bridge Hotel

Ursinus gives the borough a pleasant college-town touch with campus events, exhibits at the Berman Museum, and open lawns. Outdoor lovers can hop right onto the Perkiomen Trail, a paved path running along the creek that is popular for weekend bike rides, jogging, and walking the dog. Between the local spots along Main Street, nearby shopping plazas, and highly rated schools, Collegeville offers an easygoing place to settle down and feel connected.
