How to Compare New Home Builders in the Area

Single-Family or Attached Home: Which Fits You?
The right home depends on where you are in life.
Single-family homes offer more space, a private yard and room to grow. They’re a great fit for growing families and anyone who wants space to spread out.
Attached homes (carriage homes and townhomes) offer lower maintenance and, in many plans, single-floor living. They’re popular with first-time buyers and those who are ready to simplify or downsize.
EGStoltzfus Homes builds both single-family and attached homes. Along with the single-family and carriage homes at Legacy Crossing, we offer townhomes at Lime Spring Village and recently wrapped up our carriage home community at Warwick Crossing in Lititz, PA.
If you need to move sooner, our quick move-in homes give you the benefits of new construction without the wait. Both single-family and townhomes are currently available.
