frequently asked questions
-
The base price includes a fully finished home. It does not include broker’s compensation or seller’s assist. The sellers are willing to add as much of that as you want to the purchase price so you can finance it entirely.
For every $10,000 you add to your mortgage at 6.875% you’ll pay $65.70/mo.
For every $10,000 you add to your mortgage at 6.5% you’ll pay $63.30/mo.
In essence, it’s more efficient to borrow $30,000 at 6.875% for 5 years than it might be to save it up.
Think $30,000 at 6.75% = $197.10/mo. x 5 years = $11,826.

Green roofs are embraced in Philadelphia to address urban challenges like air quality, energy consumption, and stormwater management. They absorb and filter rainwater, reducing the strain on the city's stormwater systems and mitigating flooding. The city of Philadelphia requires the design of theses homes to include green roofs.
-
There are three good reasons to avoid providing gas service to new construction homes:
Closing Dates. Philadelphia Gas Works and the City of Philadelphia’s public works operate on their own time lines. Because your certificate of occupancy will require your home’s utilities to be fully operational, until the property is connected to the city’s gas line, there is no way to set your closing date in stone.
Life Safety and Environmental Impact. Philly Home Girls encourages you to research the benefits of all-electric living. Here are some resources from Yale University, Harvard University, and the NIH.
Landlord Liability. If you, or the developer, hold these homes as investment properties for lease, unpaid gas bills are the responsibility of the owner, not the tenants, even when the account is in the tenant’s name. Unless you join PGW’s landlord tenant program, any unpaid gas bills, known or unknow, must be paid before the property can be sold and transferred to a new owner.

HOA fees won’t be collected from any unit owner until the developer owns less than 50% of the property. Once that happens the HOA will be turned over to the owners who will elect a board and decide how the fees will be paid (which could be switched to quarterly or annually for convenience).

What are the differences in prices?
Every Laurel Home is the same size and has the same components: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, Garage Parking, Roof Deck, 2nd floor laundry.
The difference in price is only due to % of completion and delivery date.
As you continue up the block address numbers increase and the stage of completion decreases.
In other words, the higher the address number, the more unfinished the home is. The less finished, the longer it takes to close. The more time you have to close, the lower the price you can get.
What are the differences in prices and delivery dates?
As of 8/5/2025:
3843 Ridge is 50% finished and available to close in 60 days or less. That is why it’s listed at $495,000.

Why?
Two words: Construction Lending. Developers borrow money to build homes. However, the lender doesn’t give them the money all at once. They release the funds as the construction progresses. That protects the lender from over lending and the developer from over building.
Can I make customizations to the property I choose to buy?
Yes, the above lending structure prevents the developer from using their bank’s money to make your home specialized. Instead, you can use your own cash and negotiate with the seller to make customize to your property, however, the builder uses your cash to make these changes, and charges you administrative costs on top of time and materials, just like any contractor would if you were to customize the property after you purchase it. There is also a risk to customizing a home that you don’t own, if for any reason, you choose not to buy it, the builder can’t undo those customizations, so there’s no way to refund you for them.
What’s up with the drive aisle?
The surface material of the driveway will be semi- permeable pavers.
The drive aisle could take anywhere from 45 days to 9 months to complete.
Certificates of Occupancy can be issued with an unfinished driveway.
Any buyer who closes before the drive aisle is completed will be able to park one car in the parking lot next to 3839 Ridge Avenue until the driveway is completed.
What are the differences in floor plans?
