About the Washington Crossing Townhome Market
The Washington Crossing townhome market is much smaller than what buyers find in places like Newtown, Yardley, Doylestown, or Warrington. That limited supply is part of the appeal. Buyers who focus on Washington Crossing are usually looking for a quieter Upper Makefield setting, a historic location, and easier access to outdoor recreation rather than a dense townhome corridor.
Most townhome options here fall into one of two categories: traditional townhomes in Heritage Hills or 55+ townhomes and carriage homes in Traditions at Washington Crossing and The Enclave at Upper Makefield.
