IDEA Coffee
For AnnMarie Nelms, the successful owner of THEA, the opportunity to open another business in the Crossroads at Arcona was a no-brainer. “One of the best things about this neighborhood is how everyone has embraced us with the opening of the restaurant. So many of our neighbors walk here, and we’ve gotten to know them […]
Hastings Green
Your first visit to Hastings, The Great American Neighborhood® in South Fayette, will show you how important Gathering Places are in creating a neighborhood. Turn in and you’ll be greeted by Hastings Green, a beautiful 1.5 acre lawn surrounded by large sycamore trees and bordered by a hand laid brick sidewalk. We “go green first” to create […]
The Great American Neighborhood
Some of the best stories told are about the places people live. The street they grew up on. The neighbors next door. The lasting connections made. More than 15 years ago, we began reimagining the way the suburbs look by creating places and neighborhoods designed for the way people want to live. We recognized homebuyers […]
Walking to Work
When Allison Zang and her husband bought their first home at Walden in Mechanicsburg almost 10 years ago, she never imagined she’d one day be walking across the street to work at her very own Pilates studio. However, after outgrowing giving private lessons in her own home, Allison saw the opportunity to expand into the […]
The Hastings Story
The first time we walked the future site of Hastings in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, we knew the natural beauty of the land, which had only grown more special over time, was the perfect canvas for what we do best at Charter Homes & Neighborhoods – take what came before and incorporate it into […]
Trevor’s Farm
Late last Summer, a new sight popped up along Woods drive in Mechanicsburg, just outside of our Woodbridge neighborhood. Thousands of bright sunflowers caught the attention of neighbors, passerby and photographers from across the region. The sunflowers are a part of Trevor’s farm, a preserved 12 acre piece of land that’s been set aside as a […]
TerraPark®
You might not see it, but trust us, your kids do. That hill is not just a hill. It’s a playground. At Charter, we’re big champions of natural playgrounds, with green spaces and slides, rock walls, amphitheaters, and secret nooks. We call them TerraPark®, and we build them into our neighborhoods to help foster a love […]

Neighbors & Friends
The friendships between Charter homeowners are perhaps the best evidence of what makes life in our neighborhoods so special. And not only do new neighbors become friends, quite often old friends become neighbors, because when they visit and experience our neighborhoods, they want to become a part of them as well. The Great American Neighborhood® is […]
Brick by Brick
Character is foundational. It’s not a quality that can be adjusted after the fact or added on a whim. At Charter, our character begins in the blueprint and rendering stages, continues every step of our homebuilding process, and results in The Great American Neighborhood®. We choose our building and design materials with the same careful consideration. […]
East Park at Walden
While it’s hard to believe that Walden will soon be complete, we’ve definitely saved the best for last. The newly released phase, named East Park, is located in the far corner of the neighborhood adjacent to the future 43-acre Paul Walters Township Park, and surrounded by mature treelines and three unique gathering places. The first, East Park […]
The Arcona Story
Dating back to its mid-1700s purchase from state founder William Penn, the plot of land framed by Lisburn, Rossmoyne and Arcona Roads has been in the same family for generations. As their lineage expanded and the family made the difficult decision to sell, careful consideration was given to ensure the new owners would care for […]
