STATE COLLEGE — Long Ridge Construction broke ground on Orchard View, a new community of 36 green-friendly, semi-custom homes on the corner of White Hall Road and W. College Ave. in State College, according to a press release.

“As a local Pennsylvania team, we are thrilled to be working in an area that values community as much as we do,” explained Justin Mandel, head of real estate development for Long Ridge Construction. “We can’t wait to be a part of this lively area and offer the people of State College green-friendly, semi-custom homes. This community blends everything we love about Pennsylvania from beautiful rural living, quick access to energetic downtown areas, and community values.”

Prospective buyers have their choice of 4 home models between 2,100 and 4,000-plus square feet. With a wide range of customization options, these homes are perfect for any lifestyle — from single homeowners to larger families.

At Orchard View, there are 3 to 5 bedroom spaces available, up to 5.5 bathrooms, optional walkout basements, decks and other features. Additionally, all homes feature underground utilities, handcrafted wood kitchens, quartz countertops, a GE Profile Stainless Steel Appliance package, and ceramic tile flooring and engineered oak floors in select areas.

“We couldn’t be more excited to start our first development in State College. Our head of construction on this project, Bob Hazenstab, has decades of construction experience and knows the new-home process like the back of his hand,” says Mark Thaler, vice president of operations for Long Ridge Construction.

“Having just completed the successful Stone Hill Meadows development outside of Allentown, we are familiar with the latest trends, styles and needs of today’s home buyer and are eager to offer Happy Valley something new.”
