Established Resale Community — New Construction Completed 2006
Regency at Northampton completed its original build cycle in 2006. All 216 homes are resale. The community has a 20-year track record — HOA financials, social infrastructure, and community character are all known quantities. Request HOA financials and reserve fund study before making an offer.
What Regency at Northampton Is
Regency at Northampton is Toll Brothers' original Bucks County Regency community — built before Regency at Yardley, Stone Meadows Farm, or any of the newer Bucks County launches. Located in Holland (Northampton Township) in the Richboro area of central Bucks County, the community opened in 2004 and completed 216 homes by 2006. Two decades later it is a fully established neighborhood with proven HOA management, a mature social scene, and Toll Brothers' signature 2004-era luxury specifications throughout.
The Holland/Richboro location puts Regency at Northampton equidistant from Bucks County's three main town centers: Newtown Borough (15 minutes east), Doylestown (15 minutes north), and Southampton (10 minutes south). The PA Turnpike Willow Grove interchange is approximately 20 minutes south. For buyers who want central Bucks County access without being tethered to Yardley's southern location near the NJ border, Northampton's mid-county position is the advantage.
The New-vs-Established Decision in Bucks County
Regency at Northampton and Regency at Yardley are both Toll Brothers 55+ communities in Bucks County. The core difference is age and stage. Yardley is still active new construction — buyers get customization and the latest specs but move into a community still forming its social infrastructure. Northampton is 20 years old — resale only, but buyers know exactly what they're getting: established HOA, proven management, active social calendar, mature landscaping, and neighbors who have lived there for years. Neither is objectively better. Buyers who want community cohesion from day one typically favor the established community. Buyers who want to personalize their home favor the new construction.
Homes & Specifications
216 single-family luxury homes in Toll Brothers' 2004–2006 specifications: hardwood floors, granite countertops, open-concept layouts, first-floor master suites, 2-car garages. Homes were built with features that were considered upgrades at the time and are now standard expectations. Size range varies by model — verify specific square footage on current MLS listings. Condition and update level varies significantly across resale homes; some have been updated by current owners, others retain original finishes.
Amenities
Clubhouse with fitness center, pool, tennis, and social programming. HOA covers landscaping and snow removal. Community is fully built out and operating with an established Toll Brothers-managed HOA structure that transitioned to resident management after sellout. Verify current HOA fee, reserve fund balance, and any pending assessments before purchase.
