Snyder Builders

Imagine traveling back in time so you could live in the Saratoga of yesteryear.  A time when grand homes featured the unparalleled charm and high standards of exquisite workmanship.  Homes with a finely crafted front porch, a carriage lane, foundations faced with stone and shingles instead of vinyl siding.  Homes tucked among tree-lined streets and town green, in neighborhoods fashioned for strolling the wide sidewalks and embracing an awareness of community with neighbors.  A sense of place that is favorably located near the city’s workplaces, attractions, restaurants, outdoor recreation, cultural sports and entertainment options.

Joe and Jeff Snyder of Snyder Builders don’t want you to imagine it because their company is creating such a place, Oak Ridge, a vibrant development of custom single-family homes in the hear of Saratoga.  ”It’s definitely not the typical cookie-cutter subdivision.  It’s more like a neighborhood of, say, 100 years ago, that emphasizes smaller lots, wide streets, community concept and things like that.  We modeled it after the homes of Old Saratoga with their high ceilings and superior porches.,  As opposed to most modern subdivisions where people usually don’t see their neighbors unless they pass them in their car.  Here, the neighborhood encourages people to get our and walk,”  Snyder says.
