However, these homes aren't mcmansions. The community consists of ~80 homes, nicely sized, but not overdone, nice aesthetic, and Plymouth Meeting hasn't seen much modern SFH construction in recent years (besides teardowns and a home here and there). Also, this community soldout in months, another sign of the demand / shortage of new housing in the burbs. One could argue the loss of "open space", but the land was privately owned and was just empty land, not really "destructive" to the area.

And here (dirt lot in the pic, some homes are up now):

And these are McMansions to me, especially in comparison to the housing stock in the area. But if you don't want to agree with my definition and want even bigger houses those are popping up in neighboring Whitpain Twp.
