Why More Active Adults Are Choosing New Construction Homes

November 29, 2025

For active adults 55 and over, purchasing one of the new construction homes in Whitehall PA is a great step toward owning a home that is comfortable, accessible, and convenient. While there are many existing homes on the market, a new home checks off a lot of boxes for people looking for a dream home.

Those who are 55 and over are looking for what could be their “forever” home, it’s important to find a place that doesn’t require lots of compromises. Existing homes typically require costly repairs, maintenance, and renovation to become the home you want to enjoy for years to come. With new homes, there is less maintenance and lower costs. Everything is new and built into modern codes for both safety and efficiency, as well as modern tastes and lifestyles.

It’s not just a new home; it’s a home built to your wants and needs. You get to choose the homesite, the floorplan, not to mention all of the finished features from flooring to cabinets, carpets to doorknobs. This is a home built to fit your specific lifestyle. You can choose features that you know will benefit you now and for years to come, such as walk-in showers and owner’s suites on the main floor, and even smart home technology. Your home will be efficient, accessible, and appealing no matter what life throws at you.

You also have peace of mind thanks to multiple warranties. Our Emerson Village features a 1-year fit-and-finish warranty, 2-year major systems warranty, and a 10-year structural assurance warranty. In addition, our low-cost HOA offers you a lock & leave lifestyle, letting you head out to explore or simply go visit family and friends, secure in the knowledge your home is safe and sound.

Plus, with new construction neighborhoods like Emerson Village, it’s easier to get to know people and stay more social. Enjoy your shared private clubhouse with a fitness center, bar, and lounge, as well as a community pickleball court and lounge areas so you can stay active, involved, and make new friends with your neighbors.
