Springford Walk is a proposed community of 26 townhomes on about 8.6 acres along South Sixth Avenue, near Vaughn Road in Upper Providence Township, Montgomery County. It would sit next to the existing Fords Edge community. The developer on the filing is XJ 22, LLC, and Howell Engineering is the engineering firm.
The county planning commission supports the plan but made comments. It asked for a shared amenity (such as a common recreation feature) that both communities could use. It also asked for a maintenance agreement covering underground stormwater storage, which holds rain runoff beneath the ground. Finally, it asked for a sidewalk around the cul-de-sac, the dead-end loop at the end of the street.
No developer website, news coverage, township agenda or minutes, or hearing notices specific to this project were found online. Who will occupy the homes, and whether any neighbors oppose the plan, is not known from public sources.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds 26 households next to Fords Edge, which could increase traffic on South Sixth Avenue and nearby roads. No traffic study was found.
- The county's request for a shared amenity could give residents of both communities a common recreation space.
- Underground stormwater storage with a required maintenance agreement is meant to manage runoff from the new development.
- A sidewalk around the cul-de-sac would improve walking access inside the neighborhood.
Where it stands
The county planning commission has reviewed the plan and supports it with comments (latest county filing 2025-10-30). Next, the township usually reviews the plan, and the developer revises it to address the comments. The township supervisors then vote on approval.
