What Regency at Waterside Is
Regency at Waterside is the flagship Toll Brothers Regency community in the Philadelphia suburbs — the largest, most amenity-complete, and highest-profile active adult development in Montgomery County. Opened in 2021 at 1176 Limekiln Pike in Ambler, the community spans 227 acres in a gated setting with water features throughout, 496 luxury homes across four collections, and a 10,700-square-foot state-of-the-art clubhouse. It is the community Toll Brothers uses to showcase what Regency can be in the Philadelphia market.
The Ambler location sits in northern Montgomery County — close to Route 309, the PA Turnpike (Lansdale/Horsham interchange), and the broader Fort Washington/Blue Bell/Montgomeryville corridor. Jefferson Abington Hospital is approximately 10 miles south. ALDI, Giant, Target, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods are all accessible within a short drive. The suburban location is less urban-accessible than Rydal Woods but offers more land, more privacy, and a master-planned resort scale that no other Regency community in the market can match.
What Makes Waterside Different from Other Regency Communities
Regency at Yardley, Northampton, and Stone Meadows Farm are good communities. Waterside is in a different category: 496 homes vs 150–200 at most Regency sites, 227 acres vs typical 50–100 acre footprints, a 10,700 sq ft clubhouse with both indoor and outdoor pools vs outdoor-only at most, and four collections of homes (23 floor plans) vs 2–3 at smaller sites. Water features run through the community. The model home park opened with 8 decorated models — the largest in Toll Brothers' Pennsylvania division. If the question is which Toll Brothers Regency community represents the full vision of what the brand does, the answer in this market is Waterside.
