Yardley Preserve is one of the NEWEST and most exciting 55 plus communities in Yardley PA: and if you haven’t heard about it yet, you’re going to want to keep reading. This boutique community developed by DeLuca Homes started welcoming residents around 2021, and it’s quickly become one of the most sought-after addresses for active adults in Lower Makefield Township.
With just 76 homes, modern quad-style architecture, and a location that puts you minutes from everything Yardley has to offer, this community is redefining what senior living in Yardley PA can look like. Spoiler alert: it looks pretty fantastic.
Why Yardley Preserve Stands Out
Let’s be honest: there are a LOT of 55 and over communities in Bucks County PA. So what makes Yardley Preserve different?
For starters, it’s small. And in this case, small is a GREAT thing.
With only 76 quad-style homes, you’re not living in a sprawling development where you might never learn your neighbor’s name. Yardley Preserve has that intimate, neighborhood feel where you actually become part of a real community. You’ll recognize faces on your evening walks, chat with neighbors at the bocce ball courts, and genuinely feel like you belong.
Plus, DeLuca Homes didn’t cut corners here. These are thoughtfully designed, modern homes built with today’s active adult in mind: not cookie-cutter boxes from the 1990s.
The Homes: Spacious, Modern, and Built for Real Life
Here’s where Yardley Preserve really shines. The community offers four distinct floor plans:
- The Hampstead
- The Mayfair
- The Chelsea
- The Knightsbridge
Each model ranges from approximately 2,659 to 2,775 square feet, which is SUBSTANTIAL for 55+ living. We’re talking about homes that give you room to breathe, space for guests, and plenty of storage for all those hobbies you finally have time to pursue.
Every home includes:
- 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms
- Open floor plan perfect for entertaining
- Gourmet kitchen with modern finishes
- Private patio for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine
- First-floor owner’s suite (more on this in a second!)
The first-floor owner’s suite is a BIG deal. If you’ve been climbing stairs to your bedroom for the last 30 years, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Having your primary suite on the main level means no more hauling laundry up and down stairs, no more worrying about mobility down the road, and honestly? It just makes everyday life easier.
Prices at Yardley Preserve start in the mid-$600s, which reflects the quality construction and prime Yardley location.
The “Luxury Low-Maintenance” Lifestyle You Deserve
Here’s the thing about downsizing to a 55+ community: it’s not really about having LESS. It’s about having MORE of what matters.
More time. More freedom. More fun.
At Yardley Preserve, the HOA handles all the stuff you’re probably tired of dealing with:
- Lawn mowing and landscaping – Say goodbye to pushing that mower in the July heat
- Snow removal – No more 6 AM shoveling sessions
- Exterior maintenance – They’ve got it covered
The community also features maintained sidewalks and streetlights throughout, creating a safe and walkable environment whether you’re taking a morning stroll or heading out for an evening walk.
This is what we call the “lock and leave” lifestyle. Want to spend a month in Florida? Go for it. Your home will be just fine when you get back. That trip to visit the grandkids? Book it without worrying about who’s going to mow the lawn.
Community Amenities: Simple but Perfect
Yardley Preserve takes a quality-over-quantity approach to amenities: and honestly, it works beautifully.
The community features:
- Walking trails winding through the neighborhood
- Bocce ball courts for friendly competition and socializing
Now, you might be thinking, “That’s it?” But here’s the thing: you’re in YARDLEY. You don’t need a massive clubhouse with a pool you’ll use twice a year when you have the Delaware Canal towpath, Core Creek Park, and dozens of local attractions right at your doorstep.
The amenities here enhance your lifestyle without adding unnecessary HOA costs. It’s smart, practical, and exactly what many active adults are looking for.
