The Villas at Chancellors Glen is a premier 55+ community in Bensalem, Bucks County, that successfully bridges the gap between high-maintenance single-family homes and cramped apartment-style living. Built in 2003 by the respected Granor Price, this enclave of 208 homes offers a unique architectural “quad” design where EVERY home is an end unit.
If you are a homeowner who is nervous about “sharing walls” but desperate to leave the lawn mower and snow shovel behind, Chancellors Glen was designed specifically for YOU! We find that most buyers are pleasantly surprised by the level of privacy these homes offer. Because each building only contains four homes, and they are attached in a “pinwheel” fashion, you only share a small portion of your wall with a neighbor.
THE NUMBERS: WHY CHANCELLORS GLEN STANDS OUT
We love data, and the data shows that Chancellors Glen is a high-demand community for 55 and over residents in Bucks County. Here is the breakdown of what you can expect:
- Year Built: 2003 (Mature, established landscaping!)
- Total Homes: 208 (Small enough to know your neighbors, big enough for great amenities!)
- Square Footage: 1,265 to over 1,500 sq. ft.
- Price Point: Generally more affordable than the $1M new construction builds in the area!
- HOA Fees: Typically range from $200–$280/month (Incredible value for what is included!)
WE WISH WE HAD MORE LISTINGS IN THIS COMMUNITY! Because of the price point and the unique layout, these homes tend to sell FAST. If you want to be notified the MOMENT a new villa hits the market, call us today at 215-757-7257 or email TheSwainTeam@gmail.com.
THE ARCHITECTURE: THE “QUAD” SECRET
The most common concern we hear from downsizers is: “I don’t want to hear my neighbors.” Granor Price solved this beautifully. By arranging four homes into one building, every single resident enjoys an end-unit position.
This means:
- Windows on multiple sides: You get incredible natural light that you just don’t find in middle-unit townhomes.
- Private Entrances: Your front door isn’t lined up in a row like a hotel hallway. It feels like your own private residence.
- Minimal Shared Walls: The clever “quad” configuration minimizes the surface area where you actually connect with a neighbor.
INSIDE THE HOMES: DESIGNED FOR EASY LIVING
The interiors at Chancellors Glen are a masterclass in senior living design. You don’t have to sacrifice the “grand” feeling of your old home just because you are downsizing.
VAULTED CEILINGS & OPEN SPACES
Most of these villas feature soaring vaulted ceilings in the main living areas. This creates an airy, expansive feeling that makes 1,300 square feet feel much larger. You get the volume of a luxury home without the vacuuming of a mansion!
FIRST-FLOOR MASTER SUITES
This is a non-negotiable for most of our buyers. You can do everything on one floor! The primary bedroom, main bathroom, and laundry are all conveniently located on the first floor.
LOFT SPACE & GUEST SUITES
Most homes include a second level that functions as a loft or a second bedroom with a full bath. This is PERFECT for when the grandkids visit or if you need a dedicated home office or hobby room. You have the space when you need it, but you don’t have to live in it every day.
ATTACHED GARAGES & BASEMENTS
Every home comes with an attached 1-car garage, no more scraping ice off your windshield! Plus, many units include full basements, providing that essential storage space for holiday decorations and family heirlooms you just can’t part with yet.
AMENITIES THAT RIVAL A RESORT
The social heart of the community is the clubhouse. Unlike many older communities that only have outdoor pools, Chancellors Glen boasts a YEAR-ROUND INDOOR POOL!
We think the amenity package here is one of the best in Bensalem:
- Indoor Swimming Pool: Stay active and swim laps even in the dead of January!
- Clubhouse & Lounge: The perfect spot for community gatherings, card games, and social hours.
- Fitness Center: Skip the gym membership and use the on-site cardio and strength equipment.
- Library: A quiet space to borrow a book or catch up on the news.
- Bocce & Shuffleboard: Get outside and enjoy some friendly competition with neighbors!
- Walking Paths & Ponds: The community is beautifully manicured with scenic ponds and a gazebo for relaxing afternoons.
THE LOCK-AND-LEAVE LIFESTYLE
One of the BIGGEST perks of moving to Chancellors Glen is the freedom. The low-maintenance HOA handles:
- Snow Removal: (Including your driveway and sidewalks!)
- Lawn Care: Your grass will always be perfectly green without you lifting a finger.
- Exterior Maintenance: They take care of most of the building’s exterior, so you can spend your weekends at the casino or with family instead of on a ladder.
This is what we call a “Lock-and-Leave” lifestyle. Whether you want to head to Florida for the winter or just take a weekend trip to the shore, you can do so with total peace of mind.
LOCATION: BENSALEM HAS IT ALL
Location is everything! Chancellors Glen is tucked away in a quiet residential area, but it is SECONDS away from the best of Bucks County and Philadelphia.
- Shopping: You are right down the road from the Neshaminy Mall and all the big-box retailers on Street Road.
- Entertainment: Parx Casino is just a short drive away for dining and shows!
- Travel: Quick access to I-95 and the PA Turnpike makes visiting family in Philly or NJ a breeze.
- Nature: Enjoy local parks and the scenic beauty of the nearby Delaware River.
