The name "Perkasie" actually derives from mispronunciations of the Native Lenape word Poekskossing or _Pokesing, _which means "where the hickory nuts were cracked."If you need to commute to Philadelphia or Allentown, Perkasie Borough, located in Bucks County, sits conveniently halfway between them and a lot more living space for your bucks. You can find plenty more relief from urban concrete because the locals actively acquire parcels just for protected open space (and maybe a trail or two). You'll also enjoy a couple of historical landmarks and recreation on land and water.

If you find an apartment for rent in Perkasie, better grab it quick. You have under a handful of choices in standard complexes. The Covered Bridge Apartments, Southgate Commons and Chalk Board Apartments are closest to the East Branch of Perkiomen Creek. But watch out during heavy rains because these areas lie on a flood plain. The Heritage Property Management Group is also in-town but its apartment rentals lie outside of Perkasie.Using Covered Bridge as an example of what you'll get in a lease, your choices range from 380-square-foot studio apartments to a 2-bedroom, 2-bath with 980 square feet. Your living spaces include wall-to-wall carpeting, air-conditioning, and high-speed Internet access. Community amenities are limited to on-site laundry facilities, off-street parking, and 24-hour emergency maintenance.If you'd consider condominiums and single-family houses as rental properties, then your living options open up to something more spacious, if a tad older. The average home in the borough was built in 1964 and has over 1,720 square feet. Over a third of all properties were built from 1980 to 1999, with only about 5 percent coming up in the 21st century.

Finding Your Home

Get your 21st century amusement at the Skate Park, which is open from sunrise to sunset and features wooden ramps. Your dog can run around sans leash inside the gated confines of the Dog Park, but only if it plays nice with others of its kind. Your pet should definitely stay out of the water at the Menlo Aquatics Center, which includes three pools and slides for humans. For water fun outdoors, head for the Creek, which allows boating and swimming for both man and beast.If it weren't for the Great Perkasie Fire of 1988, the town would have a bigger historic district than it does now. The blaze destroyed about 15 percent of the important structures. But that still leaves some important original landmarks. The Perkasie Carousel offers Victorian-style rides under a restored historic building. And the red Covered Bridge, which dates back to 1832, still hosts weddings and parties. Today, with an AreaVibes score of 78, the town is considered "extremely livable." Low crime and lots of amenities like groceries, food and drink, coffee, parks, schools, and entertainment within a mile of the city center make this an attractive place to search for an apartment for rent. The WalkScore is only 65 because only some errands are doable on foot. You'll want to lock down a car so you can efficiently check items off your to-do list.
