The Neighborhood of Fountainhead

Anybody who is considering buying a home in York County Pennsylvania should stay informed by keeping up with my Blog. I will be describing Communities throughout the York area. I will be adding useful information on communities that will include the average price ranges, Lot sizes and area information.

Today I want to talk about the Community of Fountainhead located in York Township. It is a small neighborhood that consists of 26 lots that range in size from 1/3 acre to the largest being nearly 3/4 acre.

Home prices are typically in the low $300's to over $450,000. The predominant house style is the two story colonial with some brick and stucco exterior on the fronts and beaded vinyl siding making up the balance. Ray Markey Builders is and was the Builder of the neighborhood. The Builder is know for his innovative building materials that keep up with the latest trends in new construction. One of Ray's better known standard features include the ICF foundations. It is a foundation that comes nearly completed for drywall and is very energy efficient and also very water resistant. the quality of construction is second to none.

The neighborhood of Fountainhead is located near I-83 south of Useful Information about York PA, and is an easy commute for Baltimore bound people. It is also located near Apple Hill Medical Center which is a Well-Span campus that is more reminiscent of a indoor mall than a medical facility. You will find many indoor walkers using the area for their daily exercise and then stopping for a meal and sit down to meet neighbors. OSS is another medical facility that is within a mile that is primarily where Orthopedic Surgeons treat patients with back and spinal, and joint problems. They have recently opened a new wing that allows for overnight stays for patients.
