New Construction Homes in Central PA

You’ll have more flexibility than a production builder, but you won’t be left figuring everything out on your own.

Our team guides you through the home-building process step by step, helping you focus on the decisions that actually impact how your home looks, feels, and functions. Instead of making dozens of rushed choices all at once, you’ll move through the process with clarity and confidence.

The goal is simple: give you control—without the overwhelm.

More than you might expect.

You’ll start with a thoughtfully designed house plan—then work with our team to adjust it around how you actually live. That might mean opening up your kitchen, adding a sunroom, expanding your garage, or reworking spaces to better fit your day-to-day life.

Because we’ve been building homes in Central PA for over 40 years, we know what works—and how to make meaningful changes without overcomplicating the process.

If it fits within the structure of the home, we’ll walk through your options with you and help you make it your own.

With a fully custom-built home, you’re starting from a blank page—designing everything from the ground up, including layout, structure, and selections.

With a semi-custom design, you start with a thoughtfully designed floor plan that already works—then personalize it to fit your needs.

At McNaughton, this approach gives you the best of both worlds:

• A proven foundation with timeless design

• The flexibility to make meaningful changes

• A more streamlined build process with fewer unknowns

It’s a smarter, more efficient way to build a home—without sacrificing personalization.

Many builders ask you to fit into their system—limiting changes or treating them as upgrades.

We take a different approach.

Personalization is built into our home process, not added on later. From floor plan to finishing touches, we work with you to create a home that reflects how you actually live—while maintaining a high level of craftsmanship and consistency.

That’s where the difference shows up—in both the experience and the finished home.

We always encourage buyers to compare us to other builders—because that’s where the difference becomes clear.

Many features considered upgrades by other builders are included in our homes as part of our standard offering. From materials to finishes to construction details, our focus is on delivering a higher standard from the start—not asking you to add it later.

When you walk through our model homes or review your options, you’ll see that difference firsthand.

No—and that’s a common concern we plan for.

We walk through pricing transparently throughout the build process, so you can make informed decisions along the way. As you personalize your home, we help you understand where to invest and where to keep things simple so your budget stays aligned with your priorities.

The result is not just a home you love but also peace of mind throughout the process.

Yes to both questions!

You can visit our model homes throughout Central PA to get a true feel for our layouts, finishes, and how our homes live day to day. Many of the features you’ll see—like expanded kitchens, upgraded bathrooms, or added living spaces—reflect the kinds of personalizations our homeowners choose.

We also offer move-in ready homes (sometimes called inventory homes) in select communities for buyers who are working with a shorter timeline.

Yes—and those two things go together.

Our homes are designed with energy efficiency in mind from the start, using better insulation, high-performance windows, and systems that help regulate temperature and reduce energy use.

But efficiency is only part of the story.

We also focus on overall high quality construction—paying attention to the details that impact how your home performs over time. Many of the features that are upgrades elsewhere are standard in a McNaughton home, which means you’re getting a higher level of quality without having to piece it together.

It’s a difference you’ll feel every day—and still appreciate years down the road. And it’s why many homeowners tell us their homes still feel solid, comfortable, and efficient years after moving in.

Choosing the right community is about more than just the home itself—it’s about how you’ll live day to day.

When we plan new communities, we carefully consider factors such as school districts, green space, walkability, and access to parks (including dog-friendly areas)—as well as proximity to everyday conveniences like shopping, dining, and major routes.

Just as importantly, we think about how each home site fits within the neighborhood—so your home feels connected to the surroundings, not just placed on a lot.

If you’re still deciding where to build, exploring our communities is a great next step.
