Worth Asking
Have you considered that the HOA’s documented fee structure covers pool, fitness center, and common-area maintenance — but that the township road-dedication history revealed drainage and infiltration-bed deficiencies that required escrow holdbacks from the builder, which raises a reasonable question about whether any deferred infrastructure items were fully resolved before the bond was zeroed out?

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 — No verified total home count for the subdivision was found across public records, builder archives, or township documents. The PRLog press release referencing ‘4 home sites remaining’ confirms sell-out was imminent circa 2009-2010 but does not state the total build-out. Left null to avoid fabrication.
- Hoa Name — Public sales data (Compass/Bright) lists the formal name as ‘Riverside @ Chaddsford Community Association.’ Zillow and other sources use ‘Riverside At Chadds Ford.’ The Compass/public records source is treated as authoritative. The community’s own HOA website URL was not independently located; a dedicated HOA site may exist but was not found.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Square footage ranges are sourced from listing descriptions and aggregator sites (neighborhoods.com, megillrealty.com, Zillow), not from a builder’s official floor-plan archive. The stated range of ~2,754 to 6,800+ sq ft reflects the townhome-to-large-single spectrum but has not been verified against a master floor-plan list.
- Hoa Fee Monthly — A $375/month figure appears on Zillow for a 2020 listing at 45 Sloan Rd. This figure is not included in the page content because HOA fees change over time; buyers should confirm current dues directly with the association.
- Road Dedication Date — The Unionville Times article confirms the road dedication vote occurred at a Monday supervisors’ meeting following a June 2011 rejection, placing final acceptance approximately in late 2011 or 2012, but no exact date is stated in the available text.
