Charter Homes & Neighborhoods, based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is a mid-sized homebuilder and developer that has completed more than 5,000 homes since 1990. It pursues distinctive, community-oriented developments, aiming to create what it terms Special Places by combining thoughtful design with neighborhood amenities. The Great American Neighborhood platform underpins this approach, integrating residential product with place-making in suburban markets to meet contemporary homebuyers’ expectations. A component of the strategy, Crossroads, emphasizes walkable access to small, locally owned village businesses and authentic amenities. Charter has earned national and regional recognition for its leadership, design quality, and workplace culture, including awards in housing and related programs. The company has engaged in community philanthropy, notably through The House that Baxter Built, which has donated more than a million dollars to United Way, and it partnered with Penn State in 2022 on the Got Your 6 at Home initiative to support veterans’ mental health and employment in central Pennsylvania.
