County records describe the next stage of Deerfield, an existing home community in Southampton Township, near Shippensburg. Phases 3A and 3D would add 37 single-family detached lots and one lot set aside as open space.
The builder S&A Homes markets Deerfield as a neighborhood of ranch and two-story homes on lots of about a quarter acre. It lists public water, public sewer and natural gas. The community sits east of Deerfield Lane and north of Ritner Highway (Route 533). The builder's page shows areas marked as future phases, which fits this continued build-out.
No news coverage, public opposition, or township meeting records about these phases were found online.
What it could mean nearby
- 37 more homes would add traffic to Deerfield Lane and Ritner Highway; no traffic study was found.
- New households would attend the Shippensburg Area School District, per the builder's page.
- The plan includes one open space lot, though its size and use were not found.
- The builder lists public water, sewer and gas for the community, so these phases would likely connect to those systems.
