About
Stonegate is a Cedar Knoll Builders subdivision in Franklin Township, southern Chester County, platted primarily in the mid-1990s and completed around 1999. Homes are detached colonial-style structures on approximately one-acre lots, with interior footprints ranging from roughly 3,300 to over 4,200 finished square feet above grade. The community’s HOA holds title to more than 50 acres of deed-restricted wooded open space, meaning a significant share of lots back to permanently preserved land rather than adjacent development. The White Clay Creek Preserve — a 1,388-acre Pennsylvania state park located off Sharpless Road in Landenberg — is accessible within a few miles, offering hiking, fishing, mountain biking, and equestrian trails.

Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Stonegate’s HOA-owned open space (more than 50 acres of deed-restricted common area) functions as a structural buffer: it cannot be subdivided or built upon, which limits the density risk that buyers in growing southern Chester County communities sometimes face. Buyers should independently confirm current HOA fee structure, any pending assessments, and the specific parcels covered by the deed restriction before settlement.

Worth Asking
Have you considered what it means for long-term value when a community’s open space is deed-restricted HOA land rather than a township easement — and whether the HOA’s governing documents give the board authority to sell or encumber that acreage under any future financial scenario?
Common Questions
Who built the homes in Stonegate, and when was the community developed?
Stonegate was built by Cedar Knoll Builders, a second-generation Chester County home builder established in 1986. Public records show individual homes with construction dates ranging from 1994 through 1999, indicating the community was developed across roughly a five-year period in the mid-to-late 1990s. Cedar Knoll operates in Chester and Lancaster Counties and has built in Landenberg among other southern Chester County locations.
What school district serves Stonegate, and which schools would children attend?
Stonegate falls within the Avon Grove School District, a K–12 public district serving approximately 5,000 students across four schools in southern Chester County: Penn London Elementary School (K–2), Avon Grove Intermediate School (3–5), Avon Grove Middle School (6–8), and Avon Grove High School (9–12). School boundary assignments can change; buyers should verify enrollment eligibility directly with the district at avongrove.org before relying on any third-party boundary map.
What outdoor recreation is available near Stonegate?
The White Clay Creek Preserve, a 1,388-acre Pennsylvania state park managed by DCNR and located off Sharpless Road in Landenberg, is within a few miles of Stonegate. The preserve offers hiking, mountain biking, equestrian trails, fishing, and cross-country skiing in winter. Franklin Township’s own open space inventory also includes the Big Elk Creek Section of the White Clay Creek Preserve and the Peacedale Preserve, both accessible from Strickersville Road and Peacedale Road in Landenberg.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Approx Homes — NeighborWho and Ownerly report 35 addresses on Stonegate Drive alone, but the subdivision also includes Dawnwood Drive, McKean Drive, Avon Drive, and McDaniel Drive per public sales data. Total home count across all streets is not verifiable from available sources without a recorded subdivision plat. Estimated range is likely 40–70 homes but cannot be confirmed; field left null per instructions.
- Hoa Name — The name ‘Stonegate Homeowners Association’ is inferred from sghoa.com (a generic HOA website platform) and from the older listing reference to HOA ownership of open space. No official Chester County HOA filing or recorded declaration was located to formally confirm the legal entity name. Fee of $38/month confirmed via public sales data for 150 Stonegate Dr.
- Faq 1 A — Elementary School ‘devon’ — The public records structural data lists ‘Devon’ as the most common elementary school. However, Avon Grove School District’s current structure (as of 2024-2025) shows Penn London Elementary School (PLES) as the only elementary school in the district. ‘Devon’ does not appear in current district records. This field may reflect a legacy school name, a data entry error, or a historical boundary. Buyers must verify directly with Avon Grove SD. The page uses Penn London Elementary per verified district sources.
- Township — The input data did not specify a township. Research confirms 150 Stonegate Drive is in Franklin Township per homes.com public sales data. However, because the 19350 Landenberg ZIP spans parts of New Garden, London Britain, and Franklin Townships, it is possible some Stonegate addresses fall in a different township. Franklin Township is the most strongly supported identification.
- Cross Border Note — Landenberg 19350 spans two school districts (Avon Grove and Kennett Consolidated per Wikipedia). The public records input confirms Avon Grove for Stonegate, but the township/ZIP boundary means buyers should independently confirm school assignment with the district.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Lower Bound — All documented sales evidence 3,300+ sq ft homes. No smaller floor plan under 3,300 sq ft has been confirmed for this community. If Cedar Knoll offered smaller models, they are not documented in available public records.
