What Fox Run Preserve Is
Fox Run Preserve is an intimate 55+ community of 95 detached single-family homes in Solebury Township — one of Bucks County's most scenic townships — built by DeLuca Enterprises between 2001 and 2005 on 63 acres of rolling countryside. It sits 2 miles from downtown New Hope, giving residents walkable-distance access to one of the Philadelphia area's most vibrant small-town corridors: independent restaurants, art galleries, the Bucks County Playhouse, and the New Hope-Lambertville arts belt along the Delaware River.
What makes Fox Run Preserve stand out in the Bucks County market is a combination that's genuinely rare: detached single-family homes (no shared walls) with full HOA coverage of exterior maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, and landscaping. Most communities in this market offer either a detached home where you own all exterior maintenance, or an attached home where the HOA covers it. Fox Run gives you both — a real house with no maintenance responsibility.
The New Hope Lifestyle Advantage
Two miles from New Hope puts Fox Run Preserve residents closer to a genuine arts-and-dining town than almost any other 55+ community in Bucks County. New Hope's walkable main street has nationally recognized restaurants, the Bucks County Playhouse (a professional regional theater operating since 1939), independent galleries, boutiques, and the Delaware Canal towpath for cycling and walking. Lambertville, NJ is a five-minute walk across the bridge with its own antiques and dining scene. For buyers who want active adult community living without the isolation of a purely residential enclave, Fox Run's location is a genuine lifestyle differentiator.
Homes
All 95 homes are detached single-family with first-floor master suites — specifically designed for active adults who want main-level living without giving up a real house. Homes range from approximately 1,700 to over 3,000 square feet with 2–3 bedrooms, 2-car attached garages, and some with lofts. Lot sizes run around one-quarter acre median. Built 2001–2005, these are well-established resale homes — not new construction. Verify current MLS pricing with a Bucks County agent; turnover is low due to high resident satisfaction.
