The existing Orchard Square Apartments in Middletown Township were built in the 1970s. A plan recently approved by supervisors will allow for the expansion of the complex, located at 1801 Old Lincoln Highway near Neshaminy High School. The plan includes 36 one-bedroom, 28 two-bedroom and eight three-bedroom apartments, as well as a clubhouse and pool. As part of the development, property owner Scully Company plans to implement stormwater improvements, including underground basins, and add plantings to serve as a buffer between the new buildings and neighboring properties. Nearby residents voiced opposition based on increased traffic, potential flooding and environmental impact.
