Fox Run Preserve is an established, intimate community of 132 single-family detached homes nestled on 63 acres of prime real estate in Solebury Township, Pennsylvania. Located just two miles from the vibrant heart of New Hope, this community offers a rare combination of private, standalone housing and a completely maintenance-free lifestyle. If you are looking for 55 and over communities in bucks county pa that don’t feel like a crowded apartment complex, this is your destination.
The real estate market in Bucks County is moving FAST, and Fox Run Preserve is one of those neighborhoods where homes are snatched up the moment they hit the MLS. We frequently see prices ranging from the mid-$600,000s to the high-$700,000s, with recent average sales hitting approximately $839,355 depending on upgrades and location within the community. WE WISH WE HAD MORE LISTINGS HERE! The demand is consistently high because Fox Run Preserve solves the biggest dilemma of senior living in bucks county: how to keep your independence and your own four walls without keeping the headache of a lawnmower.
The “Detached” Lifestyle Without the Work
Most 55 plus communities in bucks county pa force you to choose between a condo with neighbors on the other side of your bedroom wall or a single-family home where you’re still responsible for the mulch and the snow. Fox Run Preserve breaks that mold. You get a real, honest-to-goodness house, no shared walls, but the Homeowners Association (HOA) takes care of the exterior.
Imagine this: a heavy February snowstorm hits Solebury. Instead of hunting for your shovel or worrying about your back, you pour another cup of coffee and watch the professionals clear your driveway and walkway. That is the Fox Run promise.
What the HOA handles for you:
- Lawn mowing and fertilization (Goodbye, grass stains!)
- Snow removal right up to your front door
- Trash collection
- Exterior building maintenance
- Common area landscaping and road upkeep
Inside the Homes: Built for Longevity and Luxury
Constructed between 2001 and 2005, these homes were designed with the “forever” mindset. They range from 1,700 to over 2,700 square feet, providing plenty of room for your heirlooms without the wasted space of a giant suburban mansion.
The floor plans are the star of the show here. Every single residence features a first-floor master suite. We cannot stress enough how important this is for long-term senior living in bucks county. Avoiding stairs for daily living isn’t just about convenience; it’s about “aging in place” with dignity and ease.
Key Home Features Include:
- 2 to 3 spacious bedrooms
- At least 2 full bathrooms
- Attached 2-car garages (perfect for extra storage or a workshop)
- Open-concept kitchens that flow into sun-drenched family rooms
- High ceilings and premium finishes like hardwood floors and crown molding
Whether you are hosting a holiday dinner or just enjoying a quiet night in, these homes feel substantial. They don’t feel like “retirement units”: they feel like high-end Bucks County estates that just happened to shrink a little for your convenience.
Life at the Clubhouse: Where Neighbors Become Friends
While the homes are private, the community is anything but lonely. The social heart of Fox Run Preserve is the Clubhouse. This isn’t just a building; it’s a hub of activity where the “Attached Fun” part of our title comes to life.
If you’ve spent years working and raising a family, you might have forgotten how to have “unstructured play.” At Fox Run, the residents have perfected it. We see a vibrant social calendar that puts most cruise ships to shame!
Amenities and Activities to Enjoy:
- The Clubhouse: A perfect spot for community meetings, private parties, or just a rainy-afternoon chat.
- Hobby and Game Room: Whether you’re a bridge shark, a poker pro, or a budding artist, there is a space and a group for you.
- Painting Clubs and Craft Groups: Let your creative side out to play.
- Planned Excursions: Residents often organize trips to local theaters, Philadelphia museums, and regional attractions.
If you prefer solo activities, the 63-acre grounds offer scenic walking and biking trails. It is remarkably peaceful here. You can start your morning with a brisk walk through the mature, manicured landscaping and never have to worry about traffic or noise.
Location, Location, Location: The New Hope Vibe
We often tell our clients that buying in Fox Run Preserve isn’t just buying a house; it’s buying a VIP pass to everything New Hope and Solebury have to offer. You are less than 10 minutes away from some of the best dining and culture in the United States.
Why the Location is Unbeatable:
- New Hope Arts Scene: Within two miles, you can be sitting in the historic Bucks County Playhouse or browsing world-class art galleries.
- Peddler’s Village: Just a short drive away is the charming Peddler’s Village, perfect for afternoon shopping, seasonal festivals, and a quick bite at the Cock ‘n Bull.
- The Delaware River: Whether you like kayaking, fishing, or just walking along the towpath, the river provides a stunning backdrop to your new life.
- Proximity to Cities: You are roughly 35-40 minutes from Center City Philadelphia and about 90 minutes from New York City. You get the peace of the country with the culture of the city at your fingertips.
This area is the gold standard for bucks county retirement communities. You have access to top-tier healthcare, incredible grocery stores like McCaffrey’s, and a community of peers who value the finer things in life.
Is Fox Run Preserve Right for You?
We are more than willing to help you navigate the options, but here is the truth: Fox Run Preserve is for the active adult who is “over it.” Over the weeding. Over the painting. Over the stairs. But you aren’t over your independence.
If you still want a backyard for a small dog, a garage for your car, and a front door that belongs only to you, this is the spot. It is the perfect middle ground between a high-maintenance estate and a low-privacy apartment.
Because there are only 132 homes, the turnover is low. People get here, they fall in love, and they stay. This creates a tight-knit, stable environment, but it also means you need an expert like Christina Swain on your side to alert you the second a property hits the market. Waiting even a few days can mean missing out!
Current Market Snapshot:
- Inventory: Extremely low (Scarcity is real!)
- Demand: Sky-high for detached 55+ homes.
- Strategy: You need a “Realtor in Red” who knows the Solebury market inside and out.
