The county filing describes twelve separate single-family houses at 7330 Ridge Ave, in the Roxborough area of Philadelphia. Each house could be up to 38 feet tall, with a partial basement and parking. All twelve would share one driveway, and the plan includes landscaping to screen the site from its neighbors.
The site is roughly 1.35 acres and is zoned for single-family housing. A for-sale listing describes it as approved for 12 detached homes with 24 parking spaces, and the owner is marketing it as a development site. That suggests the land may be sold on to another builder.
An earlier plan for the site was reported as 24 townhouses, then 20 units, after meetings with neighborhood civic groups. The current 12-house plan appears to be a lower-density version. No news coverage or hearing records were found that confirm the final approvals or who will build the homes.
What it could mean nearby
- A shared driveway onto Ridge Ave would add turning traffic to a busy corridor; the number of vehicle trips has not been published.
- Twelve new detached homes would add housing, and fewer units than the earlier 20- to 24-unit proposals.
- Landscape screening is part of the plan and is meant to soften the view for adjacent properties.
- The listing mentions 24 parking spaces, which is about two per home.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2025-03-05, and a listing says the 12-home plan already has zoning approval. No construction start was found. Next steps usually are permit review, then a sale of the site or construction if it has not yet begun.
