Penn Avenue Residential is a plan to build 83 single-family homes on about 52.7 acres in Manchester Township, York County. County records describe it as a preliminary final subdivision. That means the land would be divided into individual house lots, with streets and shared areas laid out, in a single combined review step.
A December 2025 township planning commission agenda lists the plan as a final subdivision plan for 83 house lots plus two open space lots. The land is in the township's Residential Low zoning district. The agenda excerpt does not say whether the plan was approved. No news coverage, opposition, builder name or buyer information was found.
The county filing names Landworks Civil Design, LLC, which is a civil engineering and design firm. It is not named as the builder.
What it could mean nearby
- 83 new households would add traffic on Penn Avenue and nearby roads. The records found do not include a traffic study.
- Two open space lots are part of the plan, so some land is set aside as common open space.
- New homes would add to local housing supply and to school enrollment and utility demand. No figures were found.
Where it stands
The plan was on the township planning commission's agenda in December 2025, and the county's latest filing is dated 2025-10-09. Typically the planning commission and the York County planning agency review the plan and make recommendations. The township supervisors then vote on approval, often with conditions. After approval, the developer must still obtain construction and stormwater permits.
