Delancey Court

Independent Assessment

Delancey Court's unusual two-builder history was specifically verified, since an initial home-count figure of 107 appeared alongside a separate figure of 66 in different sources, which could otherwise look like conflicting data. Cross-referencing independent local news (a Patch.com article headlined 'Toll Brothers Takes Over Delancey Court'), a civil engineering firm's project page (pcs-civil.com, describing '120 luxury carriage homes' under a McGrath Homes/Toll Brothers joint project listing), and real-estate directory sources resolved this: McGrath Homes began the community in 2008 and built roughly 41 homes before construction stalled (likely tied to the 2008-2009 recession, though the reason was not independently confirmed), and Toll Brothers purchased the remaining 66 unfinished lots in 2013, completing the community and clubhouse by 2014, for a total of 107 residences. One engineering-firm source cites a slightly different total of '120 luxury carriage homes' for the overall site plan, which was not fully reconciled against the 107 figure used elsewhere. The Patch.com article, as independent local journalism rather than builder marketing, is reasonably strong secondary evidence that this is a genuine age-restricted community and that the Toll Brothers takeover is factual, though the recorded deed restriction itself was not independently reviewed.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers wanting a small, exclusive 55+ carriage-home community in historic Newtown, completed to Toll Brothers' more recent construction standards for its final phase (2013-2014), with resort-style clubhouse amenities and easy access to I-95, the PA Turnpike, and New Jersey via nearby bridges, will find Delancey Court appealing.

Homes, Builders & Development History

McGrath Homes began construction of Delancey Court's luxury carriage homes in 2008, but the project stalled before completion. Toll Brothers purchased the remaining 66 unfinished lots in 2013 and completed the community, including its clubhouse, by 2014, bringing the total to 107 carriage homes. The community is now fully sold out of new construction.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

A current price range for homes in Delancey Court was not confirmed. As a small, exclusive, fully sold-out carriage-home community in historic Newtown completed under Toll Brothers, it likely commands a premium relative to older, single-builder Bucks County 55+ communities; buyers should request current comparables from a local agent.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Delancey Court is fully built out and sold out of new construction; all purchases are resale. Buyers should confirm which construction phase (original McGrath-built homes vs. Toll Brothers-completed homes) a specific unit belongs to, budget for a full independent inspection, and request the association's current financials, reserve study, and governing-document package before purchasing.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Delancey Court are conventionally deeded properties subject to Newtown Township and Bucks County property tax administration, plus Pennsylvania state tax rules. Pennsylvania does not tax Social Security income or most retirement income at the state level. Buyers should confirm current property tax figures directly with Bucks County.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Delancey Court offers low-maintenance carriage-home living centered on its clubhouse and health and fitness center, with a full-time activities director organizing social clubs and events including basketball, billiards, cards, and swimming, in a small, exclusive community setting.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Delancey Court is located at 398 Durham Road in Newtown Township, Bucks County, within proximity to train stations, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I-95, and New Jersey bridges, offering access to Philadelphia, New York City, and Washington, D.C.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Delancey Court is described by an independent local news source (Patch.com) and multiple real-estate directories as an age-restricted community reserved for residents age 55 and better. The community's recorded deed restriction or HOA declaration was not independently reviewed to confirm the exact current age-verification standard; buyers should confirm this directly with the HOA before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because Delancey Court was built in two distinct phases by two different builders (McGrath Homes for the original ~41 homes, Toll Brothers for the remaining 66), buyers should confirm which phase and builder a specific home belongs to, since construction vintage and quality may differ. Current pricing and exact HOA fees could not be confirmed, and a separate '120 luxury carriage homes' figure found on an engineering-firm project page was not fully reconciled against the 107-home total used by most sources.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Delancey Court's unusual two-builder history (McGrath Homes, then Toll Brothers after a 2013 site purchase) distinguishes it from other Newtown Township-area communities like The Villas of Newtown, which McGrath built and completed independently over 2008-2016 without a builder change. At 107 homes, it is one of the smaller, more exclusive communities identified in this Bucks County research cluster.
