About
Franklin Station is a Toll Brothers master-planned community in Middletown Township, Delaware County, built across four distinct product lines: attached townhomes (The Villages, Townes, and Carriages collections) and single-family detached homes (The Estates Collection). Construction was underway as early as 2020, with the community’s development directly linked to SEPTA’s extension of regional rail service to the adjacent Wawa Station, which opened August 21, 2022, and includes a 600-space parking garage. Elementary-age students are assigned to Glenwood Elementary School, part of the Rose Tree Media School District, located within Middletown Township.

What Makes This Distinct
With a resale history concentrated in the early-to-mid 2020s and a price range spanning from the mid-$500Ks to just over $1M across all-time recorded sales, Franklin Station’s appreciation pattern trails the broader Rose Tree Media district — a common signature of new-construction communities where original purchasers paid near-market prices and resale premiums have yet to fully accumulate.

Worth Asking
Have you considered that the community’s performance trailing the district average may reflect the structural reality of buying new construction at builder pricing — where the first resale cycle often shows compressed gains compared to older neighborhoods where land and replacement costs have compounded for decades?

How does Franklin Station’s proximity to the SEPTA Wawa Station affect commute options?

Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Hoa Name — No named HOA or management company for Franklin Station could be confirmed from public records or association directories. Buyers should request the governing documents and dues schedule directly from the Toll Brothers sales office or settlement attorney.
- Approx Homes — The Estates Collection unit count is not published in any verifiable source reviewed. Three attached collections total 229 units (Villages: 93, Townes: 64, Carriages: 72), but a master-plan total including Estates single-family homes cannot be confirmed without builder or township records. Livabl’s MPC page listed ’34 planned homes’ at a point in time, but this likely reflected remaining unsold inventory rather than a community total.
- Interior Sqft Range Text (Carriages Collection) — Livabl lists Carriages Collection starting from 2,416 sq ft, but no upper bound for that collection is confirmed in a single authoritative source. Buyers should verify floor plan sizes from builder documents.
- Hoa Notes (Dues Amount) — No current monthly HOA dues figure for any Franklin Station collection was confirmed in public sources. Buyers must request current fee schedules from the association or management company.
