The exclusive monthly community magazine for residents of Yardley & Lower Makefield, PA. Our family has lived in Bucks County our entire lives.
We share stories & content that bring people together and provide a unique way for local businesses to highlight their expertise and reach a highly engaged audience. In late 2016, we nearly moved across the country for career purposes. Then, we learned of Best Version Media, bringing communities together through hyper-local magazines. With backgrounds in marketing and media, and a deep love for ou
r community, it seemed like a perfect match to stay in the town we love. In the summer of 2017, Yardley Living was born! A year and a half later, we added Newtown Neighbors. We’d love to tell your story. Contact us for information.

We met while taking a video course at the Community College, married in ‘88, built careers, and had kids later in life. In 2016, Heather was part of a layoff. A new opportunity came quickly, but required a move. It was hard to imagine leaving family, friends and community. We were also concerned a move would disrupt progress for our son with autism.
We found Best Version Media (BVM) created neighborhood publications in upscale communities across the US & Canada. Per Wikipedia, Lower Makefield is a Top 100 community for discretionary income. BVM planned to bring a publication here, knowing it would help local businesses target effectively. They needed a team to work in the community, develop content, find stories, and support sponsors. With backgrounds in marketing, media, video and content, it was a perfect match.
After much planning and effort, Yardley Living was born!
Our first issue mailed to homes in the Summer of '17 featuring the Mongiello Family, Yardley residents making a difference with their advocacy, while bringing hope to families facing ALS and other terminal illnesses. Since then, we’ve profiled dozens of Yardley and LMT residents and local businesses.
What we have enjoyed most is getting to know local families and being able to share their stories. We hear every day how neighbors enjoy getting to know the cover families, and this makes them feel more connected with each other. We love helping local businesses get their message out in a format that is read by 89.4% of recipients so they can grow their business in the community, too!
In 2019, Newtown Neighbors launched!
In February of 2019, we expanded the business by launching a second publication, Newtown Neighbors, for our neighboring community. The format is similar, but the content is unique, with a complete focus on people and events based in Newtown. This includes thousands of homes in Newtown, Wrightstown and Upper Makefield.
We look forward to our ongoing partnership with the Yardley and Newtown communities, and are excited to continue to grow with the communities. Who knows, maybe we will be telling your story one day soon! Please drop us a message. Let us know what you’d like to see in an upcoming issue. We love your ideas!
If you have a business and are looking for a way to stand out, we can help!
Sincerely,
Heather & Jim DiPrato, Publishers of Yardley Living & Newtown Neighbors
