New construction vs. resale in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's 55+ inventory spans long-built-out, resale-dominated communities like Hershey's Mill (West Chester, built out over decades to 1,700+ homes) and genuinely active new construction across every researched cluster. Toll Brothers' Regency brand is actively selling in the Philadelphia suburbs, with a newly opened 317-home community (Regency at Valley Creek) in Exton, Chester County, as of 2026, plus established Regency communities in Yardley, Southampton, and Northampton Township, Bucks County. K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons brand has a confirmed presence in both the Lehigh Valley (Four Seasons at Farmington, Macungie, 256 homes built 2004-2009) and Lancaster County (Four Seasons at Elm Tree, Mount Joy, 245 homes built 2006-2013, now resale-only). Del Webb has a single confirmed Pennsylvania project, Del Webb North Penn in Hatfield, Montgomery County (321 homes). Traditions of America, headquartered in Pennsylvania, is the most consistently active regional builder across the state, with confirmed communities in Downingtown/West Brandywine (Chester County), Lititz (Lancaster County), Saucon Valley and Hanover/Bethlehem (Lehigh Valley), Silver Spring/Mechanicsburg (Harrisburg/Central PA), and Rose Ridge, Southpointe, and Summer Seat (Pittsburgh metro) -- several reported as sold out or nearly sold out as of the last update, indicating an active resale market layered on top of ongoing new construction elsewhere in the state.
Taxes and ownership in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has a genuine state-specific legal wrinkle for age-restricted housing beyond federal HOPA, unlike most states, which typically rely on federal HOPA alone. The Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA, enacted 1955) makes age 40 and older an explicitly protected class in housing statewide -- broader than federal fair housing law, which does not itself prohibit age discrimination outside the HOPA context. The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) has its own codified regulations mirroring the federal HOPA 80/20-occupancy exemption test (at least 80% of occupied units having a resident 55+, published policies demonstrating intent to provide 55+ housing, and PHRC-specified verification-of-occupancy procedures) as the state-level path to lawfully operate a 55+ restricted community. This summary is based on web-search results and has not been independently verified against the full PHRA statutory text or PHRC regulations, so it should be confirmed against primary legal sources before being relied upon. Buyers should also note that Pennsylvania's large and unusually well-established CCRC/Life Plan Community sector -- especially dense in Lancaster County's faith-based retirement communities -- operates under a materially different regulatory and financial framework (entrance fees, continuing-care contracts, and in some cases Pennsylvania Insurance Department oversight for CCRCs charging large upfront entrance fees) than the for-sale HOA/condo communities this directory otherwise covers, and that distinction should be confirmed directly with each community rather than assumed from marketing language alone.
