Phase VII is one section of the larger Autumn Chase planned residential development, which is being built in stages off Hertzler Road in Upper Allen Township. This phase creates 18 lots for single-family detached homes, and it extends S. Autumn Chase Drive to serve them.
The township says the whole community was tentatively approved in 2012 for 295 homes in eight phases. The homes are a mix of single-family houses, townhomes and duplexes. The township's project list shows the Phase VII plan was submitted on January 31, 2025. The township's planning commission and elected board both approved it with conditions. The plan was recorded on October 30, 2025, and the township lists the phase as under development. No news coverage or organized opposition was found.
What it could mean nearby
- More traffic on Hertzler Road, S. Autumn Chase Drive and the nearby streets as 18 more households move in.
- 18 new single-family homes add to an established neighborhood that is still growing, with other phases also under construction.
- The township's list shows later phases (8 and 9) with more homes planned nearby, so building activity is likely to continue.
Where it stands
Phase VII has final approval with conditions and was recorded in October 2025, so it is now in the construction stage. Next come site work, street and utility installation, and then home building and sales.
