If you’re looking to purchase a home in the Lehigh Valley, there’s no lack of great choices. We build our top-quality homes in some of the best areas in the Lehigh Valley, including Emmaus and Whitehall.

Emmaus is just minutes from Allentown for an easy commute, yet you’ll enjoy a friendly sense of small-town charm, making it a great spot for families. The East Penn School District is highly rated, offering exceptional educational opportunities. But life isn’t just about work and school. Emmaus features an inviting downtown area with a great selection of shopping, with unique boutiques, cafes, and restaurants, it makes for a fun place to spend a day. On top of it all, the downtown area is host to numerous cultural and entertainment events throughout the year, further enhancing the warm, welcoming atmosphere you’ll find here.

Our neighborhood in Emmaus, The Estates at Maple Ridge, you can enjoy a tranquil setting, well-manicured landscaping, and a wealth of nearby amenities. The neighborhood offers you stunning homes in an elite neighborhood. Among the various floor plans, you’ll find 4+ bedrooms, 2.5+ baths, 2 & 3 car garages with your choice of front or side entry, full unfinished basements with 9′ ceilings, included flex areas, and square footage ranging from 2,600+ to 3,000+. If you’re not in the mood to wait, we even have a Quick Move-In home on homesite #19.

Another great Lehigh Valley location is our 55+ active adult neighborhood, Emerson Village in Whitehall Township. This is a great spot for suburban relaxation while still maintaining easy access to entertainment, shopping, parks, and overall convenience. Much of that convenience comes from the proximity of places like Lehigh Valley Mall and other retail centers that easily fulfill your wants and needs. There’s a variety of housing types in the area, including our Emerson Village neighborhood.

With sales starting in mid-September, Emerson Village is a new community of 116 single-family and carriage homes making up a wonderful place for a 55+ active adult neighborhood.
