About this project
Adds 16 dwellings to the existing Summerdale Apartments in East Pennsboro Township, using existing sewer infrastructure and no undeveloped land.
Official description: The overall purpose of the Summerdale Apartments project is to add 16 dwellings to the existing multi-family residential development to assist in providing much needed housing in the region. The project provides for additional housing without utilizing undeveloped or open space land and brings this property in line with the desired density within existing infrastructure. The project is consistent with the township’s Official Sewage Facilities Plan, (Act 537) by utilizing the existing sewage facilities infrastructure, not proposing to extend sewer infrastructure past its current boundaries.

County records show a proposal to add 16 apartments to the existing Summerdale Apartments complex in East Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County. The new homes would be built within the established complex, not on undeveloped land.
The county summary says the new units would connect to the sewer system already serving the complex. That means no new sewer lines are expected. The latest county filing is dated February 15, 2024.
No news coverage, township agendas or minutes, developer page, or state permit specific to this addition was found online. A larger apartment project called The Reserve at Summerdale, in the same area, is a separate proposal and is not this one.
What it could mean nearby
- Sixteen added apartments would modestly increase the number of households in the complex, so some added traffic on its existing access is likely.
- Because the work uses existing sewer service and no undeveloped land, no new open space or natural land is expected to be lost.
- The records give no information on school, job or utility effects beyond the sewer connection.
Where it stands
The latest county filing was February 15, 2024, and no approval, hearing or decision was found online. Township review of the plan usually comes next, followed by any required approvals and then building permits.
