Why This Development Matters

  • Rents are set between $753 and $903 per month, depending on income eligibility. Federation Housing+1

  • Developed by Federation Housing, Inc., the project is funded by a coalition of public and private partners including the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, the Green Family Foundation, and others. jewishexponent.com

Location & Community Impact

Located on the same campus as the Florence E. Green House (opened 2013) in Trevose, this new facility furthers the Green family’s legacy of senior housing in the region. BUCKSCO.Today+1
With rising home prices in Bucks County (the median sold residential price recently surpassed $500,000 in some areas) affordable housing for older residents is increasingly scarce. BUCKSCO.Today

Features and Mission

Beyond providing apartments, the Daniel B. Green House offers support services including transportation, meals, and social programs — enabling seniors to age in place with dignity. Federation Housing+1
“ …The senior population deserves to age with dignity in the communities they’ve helped shape, regardless of their financial circumstances,” said Eric Naftulin, Executive Vice President of Federation Housing. jewishexponent.com

What This Means for Real Estate in the Area

As a real-estate professional, here’s why this matters to your clients and your market:

  • For investors or owners of nearby properties: The new senior housing may increase demand for nearby small homes, condos, or re-entry level housing as older adults find stable, affordable apartments.

  • For sellers targeting downsizers (62 +): This presents an option for clients looking to move out of large homes and into affordable senior housing — freeing up inventory in the surrounding neighborhoods.

  • For buyers seeking community amenities and stability: The presence of quality affordable housing adds social infrastructure to the area — often a positive factor for marketing nearby properties.

  • For affordability and planning: As home prices continue to rise in Bucks County, affordable housing developments like this one indicate how housing needs are evolving in the region.
