Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Senior Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel of Toll Brothers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Company, Toll Corp., a Delaware corporation, First Huntingdon Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (“FHFC”), Toll Brothers Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (“TBFC” and, together with Toll Corp. and FHFC, the “Debt Issuers”) and the certain other subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto (such subsidiaries, together with the Debt Issuers, the “Subsidiary Registrants”) have filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration under the Securities Act and the proposed issuance and sale from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of: (i) shares of common stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”); (ii) shares of preferred stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”); (iii) senior debt securities of TBFC (the “2012 Indenture Senior Debt Securities”) to be issued under the Indenture dated as of February 7, 2012 (the “2012 Indenture”), by and among TBFC, the Company, the other guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, which 2012 Indenture is filed with the Registration Statement, other senior secured debt securities and senior unsecured debt securities of TBFC or any other Debt Issuer (the “Senior Debt Securities”) to be issued under an indenture (the “Senior Indenture”), a form of which is filed with the Registration Statement, and senior subordinated debt securities and junior subordinated debt securities of the Debt Issuers (the “Subordinated Debt Securities” and, together with the 2012 Indenture Senior Debt Securities and the Senior Debt Securities, the “Debt Securities”) to be issued under an indenture (the “Subordinated Indenture”), a form of which is filed with the Registration Statement; (iv) warrants to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Debt Securities; (v) guarantees of the Company and the Subsidiary Registrants to be issued in connection with the Debt Securities (the “Guarantees”).
I have examined the Registration Statement as it became effective under the Securities Act; the related Prospectus dated February 12, 2018; the Senior Indenture; the Subordinated Indenture; the 2012 Indenture Debt Securities in the form included in the 2012 Indenture; the Senior Debt Securities in the form included in the Senior Indenture; the Subordinated Debt Securities in the form included in the Subordinated Indenture; the terms of the Guarantees as contained in the 2012 Indenture, the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture.
In rendering the opinions contained herein, I have relied upon my examination or the examination by members of our legal staff of the original or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the charter, bylaws or other governing documents of the Company and the Subsidiary Registrants, resolutions and written consents of their respective boards of directors, general partners, managers and managing members, as the case may be, statements and certificates from officers of the Subsidiary Registrants, and such other documents and records relating to the Subsidiary Registrants as we have deemed appropriate. I, or a member of my staff, have also examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate and other records, agreements, documents and other instruments of the Company and the Subs idiary Registrants and have made such other investigations as I have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter



set forth. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, I have relied upon certificates or comparable documents or statements of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and the Subsidiary Registrants.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, I have also assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, I am of the opinion as follows:
1. The Company and each Subsidiary Registrant is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state in which it is incorporated or organized, as set forth in Schedule I hereto.
2. The Company and each Subsidiary Registrant has all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to execute and deliver and to perform its obligations under the 2012 Indenture, the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture, to the extent party thereto.
3. The Company and each Subsidiary Registrant has taken all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership action to duly authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the 2012 Indenture, the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture, to the extent party thereto.
This opinion letter is limited to the matters expressly set forth above and is given only as of the date hereof. I assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion letter to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to my attention or any change in laws that may hereafter occur.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion for filing with the Registration Statement as Exhibit 5.2 thereto. In giving this consent, I do not hereby admit that I am within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, legal counsel to the Company and the Subsidiary Registrants, may rely upon this opinion with respect to matters set forth herein for purposes of its opinion being delivered and filed as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.
