Renovated Houses
Housing Rehabilitation Program: GGHDC has an ongoing program of renovating single family houses for first time home buyers. The home buyer's household income must fall within 80% of median income. Subsidy grants are awarded toward closing costs.
GGHDC installs new plumbing, electrical systems, windows, doors, roofs, kitchens, baths, paint and carpet.  Homebuyers must qualify for mortgage financing with a conventional lender. The sales prices range between $50,000 and $140,000. View our current listing of renovated houses for sale.

Cricket Court Townhouses:
GGHDC is developing the third and final phase of our Cricket Court Town Houses. This phase includes 16 units of home ownership townhouses in southwest Germantown.  The units have three bedrooms, two and one half baths, two car garages and central air conditioning.
Sales prices range between $95,400 and $113,500, depending on the homebuyer's eligibility.  The townhouses are situated in a well established neighborhood, conveniently located near major expressways just minutes away from downtown Philadelphia.

New Construction Housing:  Phase I housing is under construction and includes 10 newly constructed houses. All units are 3 and 4 bedrooms with one bath or one and a half bath, and will have wall-to-wall carpeting. One handicapped-accessible unit will have 5 bedrooms.

The houses range in size from 1,100 square feet to 1,400 square feet and are located in the Wister Section of Germantown.
The houses range in sales price from $120,000 to $140,000 and are for sale to families with low to moderate incomes. View our listing of newly constructed houses for sale.
