This DownbeachBUZZ podcast features real estate developer and Longport resident, Barbara Capozzi.
Barbara speaks with Sherri Lilienfeld, also of EXP Realty, to discuss her Renaissance Estates, a luxury townhome project in the Packer Park neighborhood of South Philadelphia.
Capozzi’s father, Ludwig S. Capozzi Jr., built the first section of Packer Park in the 1960s.
Carrying on her family’s legacy in Packer Park is important to her. Renaissance Estates might be Capozzi’s most important project yet.
Let’s meet Longport’s Barbara Capozzi.
When she’s not working on her latest Real Estate project, Barbara and husband / builder Frank Scaramuzza escape to their beautiful home on the bay in Longport.
Capozzi graduated from Philadelphia High School for Girls in 1971, studied political science at Villanova University, and earned her juris doctorate from Temple’s Beasley School of Law in 1978.
Capozzi highlights the advantages of modular construction, noting that building homes in a controlled factory environment ensures superior quality and minimizes disruption for neighbors.
The conversation emphasizes the neighborhood’s prime location, citing its close proximity to major sports stadiums, LIVE casino, the airport, and the Jersey Shore.
Podcast examines real estate trends at the shore, touching on the popularity of high-end amenities like elevators and private pools.

South Philadelphia and Downbeach Real Estate Markets
Luxury Modular Paradigm. Modular construction has evolved beyond restrictive “box” designs to deliver reproducible, precision-engineered quality. Renaissance Estates utilizes Maryland-based Blueprint Robotics technology to assemble residences in climate-controlled factory settings, far surpassing traditional “stick-built” methods. While construction costs are 40% higher, the investment yields superior ROI.
A mere five minutes from the Philadelphia International Airport. Immediate access to the Navy Yard and Walt Whitman Bridge.
50-minute transit time from South Philly to Longport makes these estates the ideal primary residence for those balancing urban professional requirements with coastal leisure.
The $250 million renovation of the 350-acre FDR Park secures the area’s environmental integrity, contrasting with Jersey Shore volatility where “spec” seven-bedroom homes and massive tax disparities (Longport at 20–25% of Margate) create market complexity.
