Regency by Toll Brothers
Regency is Toll Brothers' active-adult (55+) brand, active in Central Texas through a single community, Regency at Santa Rita Ranch in Liberty Hill. This profile is built from the builder's own site, BBB records, and 55+-specific community data — not a field visit yet. See exactly what we've verified below, including the combined HOA cost specific to this age-restricted product.
| Detail | What we found | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate structure | Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE: TOL), founded 1967 by Robert I. Toll and Bruce E. Toll, headquartered in Fort Washington, PA. Regency is Toll's dedicated active-adult (55+) brand, operating in 15+ states, distinguished from standard Toll communities by an age restriction, single-level-living emphasis, and resort-style amenity packages with an on-site lifestyle director. | (V) 🟢 |
| Community in our market | Regency at Santa Rita Ranch, Liberty Hill (Williamson County), inside the larger master-planned Santa Rita Ranch development, roughly 35 miles from downtown Austin. Gated, 55+ age-restricted, single-family homes only — no townhomes or duets at this location despite Regency's national product line including attached product elsewhere. This is the only active Central Texas Regency community; the nearest other is Regency at Esperanza in San Antonio, outside our coverage area. | (V) 🟢 |
| Product and pricing | 150 planned homes across three collections: Garden (2-bed, 1,599-2,367 sq ft, from $361,995), Meadow (2-3 bed, 2,087-2,844 sq ft, from $481,995), Orchard (3-4 bed, 2,693-3,568 sq ft, from $584,995). Prices move with builder inventory and should be re-checked at time of visit. | (V) 🟡 |
| HOA structure | Two layers: a Santa Rita Ranch Master HOA (~$92/month) plus a Regency sub-association fee (~$272/month), for a combined ~$364/month — materially higher than other sub-communities within the same master-planned development, consistent with Regency's private clubhouse and lifestyle-director amenity package. Managed by Goodwin & Co. Regency residents also get access to the broader Santa Rita Ranch amenities beyond the private Regency clubhouse. | (V) 🟢 / 🟡 |
| BBB record | A+ rating, but not BBB-accredited — the company has not sought accreditation, a distinction consumers often misread as an endorsement. | (V) 🟢 |
| Other reputation signals | ComplaintsBoard: 34 complaints, 1.5-star average, only 12% resolved — recurring themes are workmanship quality, water intrusion/window leaks, slow warranty response (some claims 1-2+ years), and disputes over responsibility between Toll and subcontractors. This is a self-selecting, dissatisfied-buyer sample, not a statistical verdict, and none of the specific complaints found were Central-Texas-specific. | (V) 🟡 |
| Financing | TBI Mortgage / Toll Brothers Mortgage Company is the in-house lender. Whether it is required to access current rate offers could not be confirmed with certainty — our own tracker marks this "unknown" as well. Do not assume either way; confirm at contract. | 🟠 unresolved |
| Warranty | Self-administered by Toll Brothers — not backed by 2-10 or another third-party insurer, despite following an industry-standard 1-2-10 structure (1-year materials/workmanship, 2-year systems, 10-year structural). Disputes go through internal resolution, then mediation, then binding arbitration, which limits a homeowner's ability to sue. Written to meet or exceed Texas Property Code §430.001 minimum standards. | (V) 🟢 |
| Tracked incentive | Confirmed live today: a 3.99% (6.04% APR) first-year rate via a 2/1 temporary buydown on a 30-year fixed base loan — matches our internal tracker exactly, re-confirmed via direct fetch. The separately tracked $80,000 upgrades/design-studio credit tied to a "National Sales Event... Extended Through July 19" promo is confirmed expired; no design credit appears on the community page today. | (V) 🟢 |

| — | — | No New Home Dispatch field visit yet. This section will populate once a visit to Regency at Santa Rita Ranch is completed. |
Regency's only active Central Texas community, Regency at Santa Rita Ranch, sits inside New Home Dispatch's South Austin/Kyle/Buda/San Marcos/Liberty Hill priority corridor. There is no second Regency community in our market to compare it against.
Advantage: Regency offers a genuine, purpose-built 55+ product backed by Toll Brothers' national scale, a real amenity package with an on-site lifestyle director, and a currently live, confirmed rate buydown.
Limitation: the combined ~$364/month HOA is materially higher than other homes in the same master-planned community, the warranty is self-administered with binding arbitration rather than third-party-backed, and neither the age-restriction/rental/resale rules nor whether the in-house lender is required for the current rate offer are confirmed anywhere public.
