River Glen offers an established residential setting directly along the Delaware River in Lower Makefield Township. Most of the neighborhood was built from the early 1950s through the mid-1960s, and the homes have changed considerably as owners have renovated, expanded, and updated them over the years. Three- and four-bedroom homes generally range from approximately 1,700 to 2,600 square feet, with lots of about 0.3 to 0.6 acres.
Basements are common, including homes with finished lower levels, and buyers will also find one- and two-car garages, decks, patios, porches, fenced yards, and private backyard areas.

Living Along the Delaware River
The Delaware River is a defining part of River Glen's setting. Delaware Canal State Park and its towpath are nearby, offering opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying the river corridor, while Washington Crossing Historic Park and Downtown Yardley are also within convenient reach.
For buyers, the river-adjacent location makes property-specific due diligence particularly important. Flood-zone designation, lot elevation, grading, drainage, insurance requirements, seller disclosures, basement condition, and any known history of water intrusion should be reviewed for the individual address. These characteristics can vary even between nearby properties, so foundation condition, exterior drainage systems, mechanical equipment location, and finished lower-level space should be evaluated together rather than making assumptions based on the neighborhood as a whole.
