Talk to a Specialist →What Regency at Yardley Is
Regency at Yardley is Toll Brothers' flagship 55+ community in Bucks County — a private gated active adult development in Yardley, Pennsylvania, less than 30 miles from Philadelphia and within easy reach of Princeton, New Jersey. The community is built to Toll Brothers' Regency standard: luxury single-family homes with expansive first-floor master suites, gourmet kitchens, and hundreds of custom design options, centered around a 12,000 square-foot clubhouse with a state-of-the-art fitness center, resort-style pool, tennis courts, and an active social calendar.
Yardley puts residents within 5 minutes of I-95 for Philadelphia access and close to New Hope, one of Bucks County's most active dining and arts towns. The Delaware River towpath runs through the area. Penn Medicine and St. Mary Medical Center are within 15 minutes. For buyers moving from New Jersey, the Yardley location offers genuine proximity to NJ without NJ's income tax structure.
Why Toll Brothers Regency Dominates New Construction Here
Regency by Toll Brothers is the most active 55+ new construction brand in the Philadelphia suburbs — operating at Yardley, Northampton, Stone Meadows Farm, Rydal Woods, and Kimberton Glen across Bucks and Montgomery counties. The Regency model offers something the Philadelphia resale market cannot: full customization before construction, warranties, modern open floor plans, and the Toll Brothers “America's Luxury Home Builder” brand backing. For buyers comparing Regency at Yardley to Hershey's Mill, the core question is new vs. established — not quality.

NJ Buyers: Understand the NJ Exit Tax Before You Close
New Jersey buyers moving to Regency at Yardley need to understand NJ's Estimated Income Tax Payment (commonly called the “exit tax”) — a withholding of 8.97% of the gain on the sale of your NJ home, collected at closing, not an additional tax. You reconcile it on your final NJ return. Plan your cash flow accordingly — the withholding can run $30,000–$80,000 at closing on a typical NJ home sale. Your PA settlement attorney should be familiar with this but confirm.
