Why Schwenksville Homeowners Are Installing Fencing
Schwenksville is a small borough along the Perkiomen Creek in Montgomery County. Known for the annual Philadelphia Folk Festival site nearby, this quiet community features modest homes with generous yards and a relaxed, rural-suburban feel.
Housing consists of older single-family homes on moderate lots and some newer builds on the edges. The creek corridor provides natural beauty but also poses occasional flooding concerns for adjacent properties.
The terrain is hilly with Perkiomen Creek running through. Properties near the creek face seasonal flooding, while higher ground has generally good drainage with some rocky outcrops from Valley Forge geology.

Privacy in Nature
