Another lease renewal, another number that went up.

The rent goes up every year.

The renewal shows up, the number is higher than last year, and you sign it because finding something better costs more time than you’ve got.

Buying near campus isn’t realistic.

Home prices within a reasonable drive of campus climbed faster than any salary did, and they never came back down.

None of it is ever yours.

Twelve more payments a year toward a place you’ll never own. A good job should be enough to own where you live.

Own instead of renew.

Thirty-four new homes in Morrisdale, about thirty minutes from campus.

A new graphite home with a white board-and-batten porch wall, covered porch, white railings and a poured concrete driveway.

You’re not moving into an old park with a new sign.

We know what’s happened to housing around State College. That’s the whole reason this community exists.

This property is being taken down to the ground and built back new. New paved roads. Landscaping on every lot. Thirty-four brand-new homes, each on its own lot with a covered porch and a poured driveway. A covered pavilion for the mailboxes, and a common area with picnic tables and a grill.

Drive out and walk it. You’ll know inside five minutes whether it’s the kind of street you want to pull into.

Three steps to your own front porch.

  1. Call us

    Tell us when you need to be in. You’ll get the open lots, the real numbers, and a straight answer about timing.

  2. Come walk it

    Pick your lot. Pick your exterior. Ask every question you’ve got, including the ones you’d feel awkward asking a realtor.

  3. Move in

    You own the home. You lease the lot. Your water, sewer and trash come with the lot rent.

Pick the one you want to pull up to.

Two colors, each available with a white board-and-batten porch wall. Choose yours when you choose your lot.

Bayou Blue home with blue lap siding carried across the porch wall, white posts, white railings and a wood porch deck.
Bayou Blue home with the porch wall finished in white board and batten against the blue lap siding.
Graphite home with dark grey lap siding carried across the porch wall, white posts and white railings.

Both plans are 16 feet wide, with a 6′×16′ covered porch on composite decking, a 3-lite Craftsman front door, drywall throughout, and a gas furnace and range.

Built to the standards you’d expect from a stick-built house.
