About
Sycamore Crossing is a multi-phase detached single-family subdivision in Oxford Borough, Chester County, developed in phases beginning circa 2001. SAI Builders LLC — owned by brothers Victor and Mark Stitz, with more than three decades of custom construction experience in the Oxford area — built the earlier phases; D.R. Horton began delivering a newer 40-home phase in 2024. The subdivision is positioned within walking distance of Oxford’s historic downtown, which the Borough itself describes as offering restaurants, services, and cultural experiences walkable from most points in the Borough, and sits inside the Oxford Area School District’s grade-banded elementary sequence: Jordan Bank (K), Elk Ridge (1–2), Nottingham (3–4), and Hopewell (5–6).

What Makes This Distinct
Because Sycamore Crossing has been built across multiple phases by two different builders spanning more than two decades, individual homes vary substantially in finish level, floor plan, and construction vintage — factors that buyers should weigh when comparing listings within the same subdivision name.

Worth Asking
Have you considered that a subdivision name can cover homes from two entirely different builders and two different decades — and that the negotiation position, warranty exposure, and resale trajectory of a 2005 SAI-built home may differ meaningfully from a 2024 D.R. Horton home listed under the same Sycamore Crossing address?
Common Questions
What school district serves Sycamore Crossing, and how is elementary school structured?
Sycamore Crossing falls within the Oxford Area School District, which uses a grade-banded elementary model: Jordan Bank Kindergarten Center (K, approximately 1.1 miles away), Elk Ridge School (grades 1–2), Nottingham Elementary (grades 3–4), and Hopewell Elementary (grades 5–6). Middle school is Penn’s Grove School (grades 7–8), and Oxford Area High School serves grades 9–12 from its campus in East Nottingham Township. Buyers should confirm current attendance boundaries with the district directly before making enrollment decisions, as boundaries can change.
Who built the homes in Sycamore Crossing, and are there different phases?
Sycamore Crossing has been developed in multiple phases. SAI Builders LLC, a family-owned Oxford-area firm, constructed the earlier phases beginning around 2001 in partnership with developer Kennett Square Realty. D.R. Horton, a national publicly traded homebuilder, is constructing the most recent phase, which is planned for 40 homes and began delivering in 2024. Homes from different phases can differ significantly in floor plan, finish specifications, and construction standards, so buyers comparing listings within the subdivision should identify the builder and vintage of each specific home.
Does Sycamore Crossing have a homeowners association, and what does it cover?
Public records for the SAI Builders phases reference an HOA fee covering common area maintenance, but no formally named homeowners association has been publicly documented for those phases. The D.R. Horton phase may operate under a separate or successor association. Prospective buyers should request the current Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), the most recent reserve study, and the current fee schedule from the seller’s disclosure packet before making an offer — Oxford Borough does not enforce HOA requirements, so the burden of due diligence falls entirely on the buyer.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Approx Homes — No authoritative source documents the total home count for all phases of Sycamore Crossing combined. D.R. Horton’s phase alone plans 40 homes; homes.com listed ‘227 lots planned’ but this figure is likely a data artifact and is not corroborated by any builder or municipal source. SAI Builders’ total unit count across their phases is not publicly documented.
- Hoa Name — No formally named homeowners association has been identified for Sycamore Crossing. The Redfin listing references a fee covering common area maintenance, but no association name, management company, or governing documents are publicly available. The D.R. Horton phase may have its own association.
- Hoa Fee Amount — A Redfin listing (274 Beaumont Dr) referenced an HOA fee of $275 but did not specify whether the amount was monthly or annual, nor the coverage period. This figure should not be published without verification.
- Most Common Elementary — Oxford Area School District uses a grade-banded model with four separate elementary buildings. Public sales data left this field blank. No single ‘elementary school’ applies to the subdivision; assignment depends on grade level, not a single feeder school.
- Builder (Single Authoritative) — Two distinct builders have developed phases within the same Sycamore Crossing subdivision name: SAI Builders LLC (circa 2001–2022 phases) and D.R. Horton (2024+ phase). The builder field cannot be reduced to a single entity without misleading page readers. Both are documented and cited.
- Total Lot Count Drhorton Phase — homes.com reported ‘227 lots planned’ for the D.R. Horton Sycamore Crossing community, while D.R. Horton’s own page describes the community as featuring 40 homes. The 227-lot figure is almost certainly erroneous or represents a broader Oxford planning area — it is not used in page content.
