Orchard Homes at Bethany Village, Inc. (Orchard Homes) consists of 23 homes constructed over a two-year period in the early 1980’s. Residents of these homes enjoy the advantages of an attractive private home within the secure Bethany Village community without the responsibility of maintenance and repair.

The site on which Bethany Village is located was once an apple orchard with a variety of trees that were enjoyed for their natural beauty and community interest. The development of walkways and park areas continues as the facility expands. The northern portion of the site contains evergreen stands and a mature forest that provide a rustic, scenic view of slopes as well as a valley overview.
