Lehighton, Pennsylvania, is a nature lover’s paradise, framed by the picturesque Pocono Mountains and the meandering Lehigh River. 

Here at Berks Homes, we would like to introduce Summit Ridge, a lovely neighborhood offering a rare opportunity to own a single-family home immersed in stunning natural beauty. With prices starting in the low $400,000s, this inviting neighborhood delivers comfort, serenity, and remarkable value. 

Experience breathtaking Carbon County

Families, first-time homebuyers, and anyone seeking a peaceful escape will adore our new community. Known for its sweeping mountains and scenic rivers, every acre of Carbon County is more captivating than the last. Over two-thirds of the county is preserved as State Game Land or State Parks.

Truly, Summit Ridge pairs the serenity of small-town living with seamless access to outdoor adventure. In particular, Lehighton’s beautiful natural backdrop invites you to explore and unwind. Navigating the renowned Appalachian Trail and fishing in the Lehigh River has never been easier. Residents can also find respite at the nearby Mauch Chunk Lake Park, which offers everything from fall hayrides to leisurely summer swims.

A short drive brings you to historic Jim Thorpe, the seat of Carbon County. The borough, often called the “Switzerland of America,” boasts charming streets—filled with boutique shops and local eateries—that create the ultimate weekend destination. The county is brimming with opportunities to connect, explore, and relax.

Homes designed for contemporary living

Summit Ridge includes thoughtfully crafted homes with open floorplans and high-end finishes. These three- and four-bedroom homes, ranging from 1,662 to 2,920 square feet, blend style and functionality. Each home features flexible spaces to meet your needs.

Take, for example, the popular Black Cherry floorplan,  spanning 2,362 square feet; the home is built with contemporary living in mind. As soon as you enter, you’ll notice the seamless flow of the open-concept main level. The kitchen, featuring a spacious walk-in pantry, acts as a pathway to the breakfast area and family room—creating a welcoming space for gatherings, relaxation, and everyday moments. Do you need more flexibility? A dedicated first-floor study provides the perfect place to work from home or create a hobby space.

Upstairs, the Black Cherry offers even more versatility with a spacious loft area, ideal for a media room, playroom, or quiet retreat. The second-floor laundry room illustrates that convenience is never out of reach, while the primary suite serves as a luxurious sanctuary complete with a spa-like bathroom and a generous walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms round out this level, offering comfort and privacy for family members and guests.

If you’re looking for even more space, finishing the basement opens the door to new and appealing possibilities. Many of our homeowners transform this area into a home gym, recreation room, or even a custom entertainment zone.

Those interested in exploring their options outside of the Black Cherry floorplan will love the eight other options available for a new construction home, and ample lots are still available.
