What Silver Lake Reserve Is
Silver Lake Reserve 55+ is D.R. Horton's newest active adult community in Bucks County — 88 single-story twin-home villas in Bristol Township, started in 2025. It is the lowest-priced new construction 55+ community currently building in Bucks County, with homes from approximately $407,000 to $432,000 depending on lot and options. Bristol Township sits in lower Bucks County near the Delaware River, minutes from I-95, Route 13, and the Bristol-Burlington Bridge into New Jersey. Historic Bristol Borough is minutes away. Philadelphia International Airport is approximately 20 miles south.
Every home at Silver Lake Reserve follows a single floor plan — the Burlington — which simplifies the buying process and keeps pricing transparent. D.R. Horton's All-In Pricing model includes popular features that many builders charge extra for: quartz countertops, shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances, peninsula kitchen island, and smart home technology. Covered rear porch on every unit. The community is intentionally intimate at 88 homes.
The Value Case: New Construction at $407K in Bucks County
New construction 55+ in Bucks County typically starts at $545,000+ (Regency at Rockhill Ridge) and runs to $650,000+ (Regency at Yardley). Silver Lake Reserve starts at $407,000 — genuinely new construction at a price point that elsewhere in Bucks County produces only resale condos or manufactured homes. The tradeoff is scale (88 homes, one floor plan, minimal amenities) and location (Bristol Township lower Bucks vs the more sought-after central or upper Bucks communities). For buyers whose primary priority is new construction in Bucks County at an accessible price, Silver Lake Reserve is the only option that delivers it below $450,000.
The Burlington Floor Plan
Entry through a private side front door (not shared). Open-concept living/dining flows into kitchen. Den near entrance. Two bedrooms down the hall — guest bedroom and primary suite with en-suite bath and walk-in closet. Laundry room on main level. Covered rear porch for outdoor living.
Bristol Township Location Context
Bristol Township is lower Bucks County — a blue-collar borough with working-class character distinct from the affluent communities in central and upper Bucks. Historic Bristol Borough (not Bristol Township) has a genuinely charming Delaware River waterfront with independent dining. Parx Casino and Racetrack is 15 minutes north. Jefferson Bucks Hospital is nearby. I-95 provides 20-minute access to Philadelphia International Airport. For buyers who want lower Bucks County at the most affordable new construction price available, and whose lifestyle does not require the Newtown/Doylestown/New Hope cultural corridor, Silver Lake Reserve delivers it.
