What Homeowners Are Saying

“My experience building a home at Alden Place was a positive one from my first meeting through closing, and beyond. Everyone I worked with was knowledgeable and professional. Bill Martin was exceptional at helping me choose everything from design details of the house, to picking colors.”

— Greg M, Homeowner at Alden Place

“We bought a home at the Gables at Elm Tree and are very happy with the quality and service that Alden homes provided. Also, their home design is great. We would definitely recommend them to others.”

— Peter F, Homeowner at Gables at Elm Tree

“Alden Place is an over 55 community near Cornwall, PA. Lovely setting, beautiful homes with a variety of floor plans and friendly people. Lots to do and get involved in if you wish, but if quiet solitude with the security of trusted neighbors/friends is what appeals to you then you will find it here as well.”

— Katie H, Homeowner at Alden Place
