The borough has practically no remaining developable land. However, the quality of its existing housing stock, and its prime location in the heart of the North Penn Community, makes this small borough a very attractive location. It should be noted that many residents and businesses will have a North Wales mailing address, but will actually be located in surrounding municipalities. The entire borough is serviced by public water and sewer facilities. A full-time police force serves the borough.
Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies.
Residential trash disposal is arranged by private contractors. Facilities include a children's playground, Weingartner Memorial Park, a swimming pool run jointly with Upper Gwynedd Township, and a basketball court. Little League programs are run by the Nor-Gwyn Athletic Association. A main street shopping area provides area residents with many basic goods and services. The nearest major shopping mall is the Montgomery Mall, which is very close.
