A Walk Through Stone Meadows Farm Today - From Controversy to Construction, Conservation and Connections

What was once a quiet stretch of farmland along Route 413 in Langhorne is now taking shape as Bucks County’s newest 55+ luxury home community: Regency at Stone Meadows Farm, developed by Toll Brothers.

After years of uncertainty, construction is well underway and future residents can be seen looking at their soon-to-be built homes. Along with some bikers and runners, I decided to take a walk around on a Saturday in July 2025 and check out the new community. While I am not in the market for one of these $1 million+ homes, I was curious to see exactly what all those construction trucks were doing at the farm. It is impressive.

Today, gone are the rows of corn that defined this land for decades. In their place are the frames and foundations of a planned 110+ single-family homes designed for active adults aged 55 and over.

The development, officially named after the former Stone Meadows Farm, has been both a symbol of progress and a point of controversy. Longtime residents may remember the fierce debates surrounding the land's sale and rezoning. Preservation advocates and neighbors expressed concerns about the loss of open space, historical relevance, and the ripple effects of such large-scale development in the area.

Despite the pushback, the project was ultimately approved, and Toll Brothers began construction in early 2024. The homes now rising offer modern layouts, energy-efficient features, and access to community amenities like a clubhouse, walking trails, and outdoor recreation — all staples of Toll Brothers' well-known Regency brand.

One significant concern over the development was the conservation of the natural charm of the property and the open spaces that are in short supply throughout Lower Bucks County. It seems like the development has made some steps to preserve the farm-feel to the property. While only a small number of homes have actually taken shape to date, there is a distinct feeling of nature and preservation.

For me, (and many), the more pressing issues are the unknowns. Chief among them is traffic. Route 413 is already a heavily traveled corridor, especially during peak commuting hours. With over 100 new homes — and potentially hundreds of new residents — expected to join the area, the long-term impact on congestion remains unclear. At the moment, there is no specific traffic infrastructure upgrade tied to the development, though township officials have said they’re monitoring the situation.

Residents and community groups like Save Stone Meadows Farm continue to express concern over the fast pace of development in the region and the dwindling availability of farmland. Yet others see the project as an opportunity to welcome new neighbors, boost the local economy, and provide needed housing for those looking to downsize or age in place. With the addition of so many new amenities and restaurants in the area, it is hard to argue that this part of Langhorne and Newtown isn't a great place to be. Plus, the property did retain some of the biggest charms from the former farm. Maybe designers really did find the right balance.

As I walked the site, it was easy to imagine both the old and the new. The farm house remains tucked in the corner, but now earthmovers and sales trailers dominate the scene too. Soon, there will be cul-de-sacs, patios, and backyard barbecues.

Drivers entering Core Creek Park will also notice the entrance to the walking path of the new 55+ community directly across from the park entrance on Tollgate Road. Future residents will have easy walking or bike access to the park.

Whether you're excited about the transformation or nostalgic for the past, Regency at Stone Meadows Farm is undeniably reshaping a corner of Bucks County. And as it continues to grow, so too will the questions about how best to balance progress with preservation. It was worth the daily walk for sure, and I will have to check it out again when the construction is completed and folks make the farm their new home.
