PHILADELPHIA, PA - Tom Firmani, a resident of Ocean County, NJ, found himself in the market for a new home in the City of Brotherly Love. Relocating for work seemed like a daunting task until discovering a new construction community that would make his move easy, K. Hovnanian’s The National at Old City.
Nestled in the heart of Old City across from Elfreth’s Alley, America’s oldest residential street, lies a hidden gem: a new construction, gated community. Surrounded by eclectic boutiques, restaurants and art galleries, this location offers something for everyone including Tom Firmani, “I really like this part of the city. I feel that it is the optimum location, you have access to everything here.” Just a few steps away from the subway and easy access to I95, Route 676, 76 and the Ben Franklin Bridge, Old City allows a sense of modern-day convenience mixed with 18th century appeal. Between the historic charm of the neighborhood and the entertaining nightlife of First Friday’s, the decision was simple, Tom was going to reside at The National at Old City.
As a renter, Tom adjusted to his new city lifestyle with ease and after only 10 months, he decided to make The National at Old City his permanent residence and purchased a spacious, new town home. One of the deciding factors for Tom in purchasing was the quality of the construction the builder offers, which he was able to experience first-hand, “The careful attention to detail in the construction is amazing. It has everything I need and more. The standard amenities that K. Hovnanian offers in their homes are like extras everywhere else.” Tom was also attracted to the gated community feeling, “The community is absolutely beautiful. You are in a community setting but you are also very self-contained. You are in the city but don’t feel like you are. It’s perfect!” Within the community gates you have a sense of privacy with the tranquil courtyards and sitting areas and once you walk outside the gates you are whisked back into the city scene.
Another important factor for Tom in buying was the impressive service he received from all of the K. Hovnanian professionals throughout his experience. Owning several homes in the past, he was no stranger to the buying process and truly feels that this experience surpassed any of the others, “My whole experience purchasing this home was great. In particular, Gina Spaziano, my sales consultant, was terrific. She made the entire process so much easier. K. Hovnanian over-delivered on the entire experience.” It is this first-rate service that produces happy homeowners and allows K. Hovnanian to rise above the rest.
Tom has been in his new dwelling for only a few months but already feels right at home, “I love it! That basically sums it up!”
