Horse Pastures, Center Point Crossroads and 1990s Lots

By Census (ACS) estimates Worcester's median home dates to 1993, and about 15% are rented. Large lots with tree lines, ponds and paddocks keep ticks and mosquitoes close to patios.

Barns, hay and feed rooms on horse properties feed mice and rats, which later test garage doors and sill gaps on houses next door.

Zacharias Creek and smaller runs drain Worcester's rolling farmland west toward the Skippack Creek, and the bottomland along them stays wooded even where subdivisions fill the higher ground. Those shaded corridors are travel lanes for deer, which is why blacklegged ticks turn up on lawns well away from any obvious forest. Farm ponds and stormwater basins built with the 1990s neighborhoods add still water that warms quickly in June.

Houses from the township's 1990s growth tend to be large colonials on an acre or more, with three-car garages, finished basements, wood decks and long runs of landscape mulch. Termites and odorous house ants find that mulch line first, and an attached garage holding birdseed, grass seed or horse feed is often where mice settle before moving indoors. Bank barns and run-in sheds on equestrian properties also give paper wasps dry eaves to build under each spring.

Our Route Up Germantown Pike and Valley Forge Road

From Media we take I-476 to Germantown Pike, then go north on Valley Forge Road toward Center Point. Thom and his team walk the home, barns and yard edges and put a quote in writing. The inspection is free; call early and a same-day slot may open up.

Peter Wentz Farmstead and Worcester's Neighbors

The Peter Wentz Farmstead is a county-run historic site in the township, and Center Point marks the crossroads of Skippack Pike and Valley Forge Road. Neighbors include East Norriton Township and Towamencin Township, both of which we also serve. Skippack Pike (Route 73) crosses the township through Center Point, where Valley Forge Road meets it, and Germantown Pike runs across the southern end of the township. Worcester's public schools belong to the Methacton School District, shared with Lower Providence. The Peter Wentz Farmstead keeps its fields and outbuildings open to visitors, and much of the rest of the township is still horse farms, preserved fields and large-lot neighborhoods rather than shopping centers. Evansburg State Park and its Skippack Creek woods lie just to the west. That land pattern produces calls about ticks and mosquitoes on big lawns, rodents around barns and feed storage, wasps under outbuilding eaves and termite checks on houses now about thirty years old.
