Four Seasons at Farmington: 55 Plus Active Adult Single Home Development/Sub-division in Lower Macungie Twp, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania

Hello and Thank you for visiting my Blog    Last Blog Update: 11-06-08

Welcome to Four Seasons at Farmington, community information!

 

Community Description: This is an Active Adult (55 plus) single home community located in a country atmosphere but so close to everything! You are only 15 mins from Center City Allentown and less than 5 mins from Local shopping, restaurants, and other everyday amenities.

Development/Sub-Division Age: Originated 2004

Open Lot's Available? : Yes about 22 lot's available

Are you working with a Real Estate Agent?

If not, YOU should Be! Most Builders in the Lehigh Valley  offer a commission on the house to pay an agent who will fully represent you. REMEMBER: The sales person in the office of the Model home represents the SELLER "Builder" NOT you!

Model Home Visits

Don't walk into a Model Home without your Agent. If you do so, you are now on your own and the Builder will not pay the commission for you to have an agent. Fair Housing Laws prohibit the builder from passing the difference on to you so having an agent or not having an agent will not change the price on the home.

Base Price Range Defined: (price without options - House price includes Builder standard features ONLY) all custom options are added onto this price. You can average about $20 to $25,000.00 min for options...this is not going to get you "High-end glamour"

Base Price Range (s): 7 Floor Plans Available - Specializing in Ranch Style Homes - 2 floor plans with Lofts available - Ranges from 1546 sq ft 2Bedrm, 2Baths, 2 car Garage $286,900.00 TO 2902 sq ft 3Bedrm, 3Bahts, 2 car Garage $341,900.00

Homesite (Lot) Premiums Defined: This is a fee ON TOP OF the price of the home that you will pay to get a particular lot in a particular location.  Size, Location, View and Grade all play a role in determining what the Builder "SELLER" will charge for this fee.

Lot Premium Ranges: zero TO $15,000.00

Hi Morian,

Looks like a great 55+ community. Wishing you all the best with it. We just finished making a post on all major lancaster active adult communities. Perhaps we can share information in the future.
