TRADITIONS OF AMERICA RECEIVES FINAL APPROVAL FOR 55+ COMMUNITY IN HANOVER

PHILADELPHIA, PA – December 20, 2006 – Traditions of America, a national leader in developing Active Adult communities, last week received final approval from the Hanover Township Board of Supervisors to build an Active Adult community near the intersection of Route 512 and Hanoverville Road.

“We are very pleased to receive our approvals and move forward with plans for Traditions of America at Hanover,” said J. B. Reilly, Managing Partner.  “Our plan is to begin taking deposits for homesites beginning January 15th.”

Mr. Reilly, along with Tim McCarthy, founded Traditions of America in 1997 for the exclusive purpose of developing Active Adult communities featuring highly livable homes for people age 55 and better.  Both owners are from Pennsylvania and maintain a hands-on approach with all their communities.  Traditions of America communities emphasize lifestyle and an abundance of resort-style amenities.

Traditions of America at Hanover will feature approximately 241 homes consisting of 165 detached single family homes from the low $300’s and 76 garden homes from the high $200’s.  Traditions of America at Hanover features spacious floor plans designed with complete single-floor living in mind.  Every home includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a full size laundry room on the first floor.  Other features include both a living room and family room, dining room, and a separate breakfast nook or eat-in kitchen.  Purchasers have the option to customize the outside of their home with three elevation choices and may choose brick or stone where indicated on plans.  Traditions of America also offers a Custom Home Program, which allows purchasers the opportunity to further customize their home to fit their lifestyle and taste.
      
Homeowners at Traditions of America at Hanover will enjoy year-round resort-style amenities, including a two story state-of-the-art 10,000 square foot clubhouse with spa/sauna, card room, billiards room, crafts room, grand ballroom, fitness center with weights and aerobics, outdoor heated pool, whirlpool, putting green, tennis, bocce, and much more. 

Traditions of Americas’ award-winning designs are intended to meet the present and future needs of Active Adults.  The height of their bathroom vanities, the lever handles on their doors and faucets are all chosen with their customer’s needs in mind.  Traditions of America home designs feature one floor easy living with options for second floors, sunrooms and patios. 

Traditions of America provides customers with peace of mind throughout the buying process.  They offer extensive inspection and orientation procedures, an insured warranty program, and a maintenance program which takes care of landscaping and snow removal up to your door.  The buying process is made easy with creative approaches like their Assets Program that helps customers sell their existing homes.  Their professional sales and construction staff, in-house designers, and customer service representatives ensure that all Traditions of America customers have a high quality and satisfying home buying experience.

Traditions of America is recognized as a national award-winning leader in the growing industry of developing Active Adult lifestyle communities.  The firm has communities throughout Pennsylvania, as well as in Delaware and New Jersey.  Traditions of America is currently selling homes at The Highlands of Glenmoor in Palmer Township, PA and Willow Green in Northampton Township, PA with new Traditions of America communities planned in the Boalsburg, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg areas.  For more information, please contact the corporate office toll-free at (877) ADULT-55, or visit www.traditionsofamerica.com.
