Courtyards
About
The Courtyards at Collegeville is a 64-home, age-restricted (55+) townhome subdivision in Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County, built by Michael Anthony Homes between 2003 and 2004. The community is resale-only — no new construction is available — and all 64 units take the form of attached townhomes offered in two builder floor plans (Arbor and Bower), each with a two-car garage, full basement, and a second-story loft. The HOA covers mowing, snow removal, trash, leaf removal, gutter cleaning, and common-area landscaping, and the community’s private clubhouse includes a fitness room with cardiovascular and weight-training equipment, a multi-purpose community room with a library area and kitchen, an outdoor gazebo, and an interior walking trail.

What Makes This Distinct
Because the Courtyards at Collegeville is age-restricted under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), at least 80% of occupied units must have one resident age 55 or older — a covenant that runs with the land and is enforced by the HOA, not the township, meaning a future buyer who does not meet the age threshold cannot occupy the home as a primary residence regardless of what a purchase contract states.
Worth Asking
Have you considered what happens to your resale pool if a significant share of buyers in your target age cohort are simultaneously downsizing in the same corridor — does a 64-unit, resale-only community with no new-construction competition hold its liquidity differently than a larger 55+ community with active builder inventory nearby?
Common Questions
Is the Courtyards at Collegeville strictly age-restricted, or just age-targeted?
It is age-restricted under HOPA: at least 80% of occupied units must have one resident age 55 or older. Buyers should request and review the current HOA age-verification documentation before making an offer, as occupancy by a non-qualifying buyer would violate the community’s governing documents.
What does the HOA cover, and what remains the homeowner’s responsibility?
The HOA fee is documented to cover lawn mowing, snow removal, trash removal, leaf removal, gutter cleaning, landscaping, and common-area maintenance, as well as access to the clubhouse. Homeowners carry responsibility for interior maintenance and any unit-specific improvements. Buyers should request the current fee schedule and reserve study from the HOA before settlement, as monthly dues and special assessments are not publicly disclosed in a fixed, verifiable amount.
Which school district serves the Courtyards at Collegeville, and does that matter for a 55+ buyer?
The community falls within the Methacton School District, which serves Lower Providence Township and Worcester Township. Because residents of age-restricted 55+ communities typically have no school-age children, the school district has limited direct lifestyle relevance — but it does affect the property tax base and millage rate. Buyers should obtain the current Methacton millage and Lower Providence Township tax rates to calculate their total annual tax obligation.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Interior Sqft Range Text — 55places.com and MiradorLiving cite 1,819–2,024 sq ft of finished living space; LivingPlaces.com cites approximately 2,000–2,500 sq ft. The LivingPlaces figure may include the unfinished or partially finished basement. Neither source is the HOA or assessor record. Recommend confirming with Montgomery County assessment records before publishing.
- Hoa Name — No formal HOA entity name (e.g., ‘Courtyards at Collegeville Homeowners Association’) was verifiable from any public-facing source. HOA existence is confirmed by multiple listing sources, but the legal entity name requires a Montgomery County deed or HOA disclosure document.
- Approx Homes — The figure of 64 homes appears in both 55places.com and MiradorLiving.com and is internally consistent, but neither source is the HOA record or township assessor. Tier set to ‘estimated’ until confirmed by county parcel data.
- Avg Year Built — Input data showed avg_year_built as ‘unknown.’ Multiple sources confirm 2003–2004 construction by Michael Anthony Homes. This is flagged for the Cyr Team to confirm via county assessor records, but is not anomalous.
- Hoa Monthly Fee — No current verified HOA monthly fee amount was found in any public source. Buyers must request the current fee schedule directly from the HOA or management company.
- Reserve Study — No reserve study data was publicly available. Given the community’s Early 21st Century era (2003–2004 build), roof and gutter replacement has already occurred per one listing source, but the full reserve funding status is unverified.
