Cherry Tree

Cherry Tree is a 55+ community in Hanover, Pennsylvania built by J.A. Myers Homes, a regional builder with nearly 50 years of experience and more than 7,000 homes built across southern Pennsylvania. The community is designed around a simple premise: quality, low-maintenance new construction townhomes and villas where the HOA handles lawn care and snow removal, freeing residents to travel, spend time with family, or pursue hobbies without yard-work worries. Homes at Cherry Tree feature two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and range from roughly 1,589 to 2,000 square feet. Every home includes a two-car garage, a first-floor master suite, modern appliances, and quality construction materials throughout. Buyers can choose from several kitchen layouts and optional features like fireplaces, and J.A. Myers will work with each buyer to customize finishes — cabinets, counters, bathroom fixtures, and other details — so the home feels personalized from day one. The community is being built out across three phases totaling 224 homes, with new construction still actively available. Cherry Tree intentionally keeps overhead low: there is no clubhouse, pool, or gym on-site. The social life here is neighborhood-based rather than amenity-driven — residents walk the streets, get to know one another, and organize informal dining, shopping, and travel outings. For buyers who want a 55+ lifestyle without the higher HOA fees that come with full resort amenities, that tradeoff is the appeal. The location adds significant value. Cherry Tree sits in Hanover, a York County town with a small-town feel, plentiful local businesses, and easy access to both southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. Everyday shopping is less than five miles away at the Giant food store, and the UPMC Hanover Professional Center is located right in the area — a convenience for residents managing routine medical appointments. UPMC Hanover, a full-service acute-care hospital with 100 licensed beds, is just minutes from the community. Gettysburg and its Civil War history are about 20 minutes west, and the Maryland state line is a short drive south, making Hanover a popular relocation choice for Maryland retirees looking for lower property taxes and a lower overall cost of living while keeping access to Baltimore-area family and amenities.
