Reclaiming a Neighborhood’s Elegant Past

Norristown, Montgomery County was once a thriving hub of commerce, manufacturing, and leisure with DeKalb Street serving as the town’s crown jewel. Beautiful buildings that remain standing today were home to many of Norristown’s most prestigious residents.

As automobiles and suburban living gained in popularity after World War II, many of these mansions fell into disrepair. Today, there is a new vision for Norristown – one of rebirth and vitality that is rich in culture and diversity, while honoring the past. This vision emphasizes homeownership as a key to neighborhood revitalization while promoting the many benefits of residing here, such as proximity to transportation, employment centers, retail, outdoor recreation, and much more.

Arbor Knoll, created on the heels of the highly successful Arbor Heights and Arbor Mews communities, plays an integral role in transforming Norristown into a thriving and desirable neighborhood in which to live, work, and play. With financial support from the Montgomery County Commissioners and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the chance to afford new homeownership provides financial stability for all residents and enhances growth efforts along bustling Upper DeKalb Street.
