D.R. Horton, a national homebuilder, proposes 106 single-family homes on about 123 acres on the north side of West Pumping Station Road in Milford Township. The land is farm fields now. Lots would range from roughly a quarter acre to just under an acre. About 68 acres would stay as open space, and public water and sewer would serve the homes.
Local news coverage and township documents say the land is owned by a school district, and the builder holds it under a purchase agreement. An earlier township agenda listed 104 homes, so the count changed. Reviewers raised concerns about the width of the planned street, stormwater waivers, and four lots sitting close to the road. The builder also floated a connector road toward Old Bethlehem Pike.
A 60-foot strip is reserved for a possible future Portzer Road extension. No news of opposition or a final approval was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: reviewers flagged a street narrower than township rules call for, and the connector and Portzer Road reservation could change how drivers and emergency vehicles reach the area.
- Open space: about 68 of the 123 acres would be set aside as open space instead of farmland.
- Utilities: the homes would connect to public water and sewer rather than wells and septic systems.
- New homes: 106 households would be added, with possible effects on local roads and schools that the records do not quantify.
Where it stands
The plan is under township review as a conditional use and preliminary subdivision, and news coverage says the supervisors' hearing was pushed back to September 1, 2026. No outcome was found. After a hearing, the supervisors usually vote on the conditional use, and detailed engineering and final plan approvals follow.
