Landmark Homeowner Story Featured on Ideal Living

Ideal Living featured one of Landmark Home's happy homeowners from our Crossings at Sweetbriar community in Lebanon County, PA. Read more about what they had to say about working with Landmark and moving to Lebanon County! 


"David Calhoun (77) and Peggy Jennings (64) met 10 years ago and have been married for eight. Two years ago, they built their perfect home in the countryside of Pennsylvania. Tucked away in north Lebanon, just 20 miles east of Harrisburg, PA, they found The Crossings at Sweetbriar by Landmark Homes. At Landmark Homes, they specialize in meeting the needs of home buyers age 55 and over.



David says, “Landmark Homes has great attention to detail and incredible communication in the building process. We found the style that we wanted, and then we were able to make changes. The folks at the design center gave us the options, and there was no pressure. The developers really thought through all of the details.”


“It’s a question of watching it happen, letting it happen, or making it happen,” he said, “and making it happen is almost always better.” David and Peggy are making it happen in their life in Sweetbriar. “We had this home built exactly the way we wanted. The folks here were so great. Even the neighbors took photos and videos and sent them to us while we were building.”


After Peggy (Dr. Jennings) retired from a teaching career, she started a business as a certified educational planner. She helps young people get their paperwork ready for college while working from their home. Both Peggy and David participate in a local TV show called  Brain Busters , where high school kids compete.


As an Army veteran, David worked in 28 countries and served as a military advisor in Vietnam, spending most of his time in Laos. His last tour of duty was in Europe, where he was able to study in France and Germany. He likes to give back, so he now serves as a senior veteran ambassador. He interviews army veterans to tell their stories that are archived at the Army Heritage Center and some at the Library of Congress.

They are so happy with their life at Sweetbriar that they are bringing additional family members to the community as well."
