What Makes This Distinct
The community sits immediately adjacent to a parcel between Longwood Crossing and Route 1 that received conditional use approval from East Marlborough Township in 2021 for commercial development including a medical office, convenience store, and carry-out restaurant — separated from the townhomes on Concord Court by an agreed-upon fence and evergreen buffer; buyers whose units border that edge should review the current status of that development.

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 — Townhome-Only Count — Iacobucci Companies confirms 42 singles + 44 townhomes = 86 total units. The public records structural data provided lists only townhome settlements in the 180-day window, suggesting the community sells both types but public records tagging may vary. The figure of 44 townhomes and 42 singles from the builder’s own website is used as the verified count.
- Hoa Dues Amount — Current HOA dues amount is not publicly published on longwoodcrossing.org or any verified source; buyers must request current fee schedule directly from Penco Management or via resale certificate.
- Nearby Roads Text — Cambridge Circle Vs. Canterbury Drive — Public records-derived data and the legacy hint reference Cambridge Circle and Brandywine Court as internal streets; LivingPlaces.com identifies Bayard Road → Canterbury Drive as primary access. Both appear accurate (Canterbury Drive as primary ingress; Cambridge Circle/Brandywine Court as internal addresses). No conflict requiring supersession — buyers should confirm routing with mapping tools.
- Commercial Development Status — The Longwood Crossing HOA website’s land development page was last updated November 2021. The current build-out status of the Route 1 commercial parcel (Chipotle/Wawa/medical office) adjacent to the community is unconfirmed as of the page production date. Buyers with units on Concord Court should independently verify current conditions.
- School Boundary Post 2026 — The Greenwood Elementary boundary name is expected to persist under the replacement school, but KCSD has not publicly confirmed whether any boundary realignments will accompany the 2026 opening. Buyers should verify assignment directly with KCSD before closing.
