About
Glen Acres is a detached single-family subdivision in West Goshen Township, Chester County, developed between approximately 1954 and 1966 along streets off West Chester Pike (Route 3). Homes are predominantly split-level and ranch styles on lots slightly exceeding one-quarter acre, with typical configurations of 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The subdivision carries no homeowners association, and public records transaction data confirm no HOA fees apply to recorded sales. Students from Glen Acres feed into Glen Acres Elementary School — located on Delancey Place within the subdivision boundary — then continue to J.R. Fugett Middle School and West Chester East High School, all within the West Chester Area School District.
Specifications
Home Stock
The subdivision contains detached single-family homes built from approximately 1954 through 1966, with a median construction date around 1956. Dominant styles are split-level and ranch, consistent with postwar suburban production housing common to Chester County in that decade.
Location & Access
Primary access is via West Chester Pike (Pennsylvania Route 3 eastbound) onto Glen Avenue. Route 3 is a four-lane divided highway that connects West Chester Borough eastward through West Goshen Township toward the US-202/US-322 interchange and, further east, toward Philadelphia.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
The absence of an HOA eliminates recurring assessments and architectural-review constraints that govern many surrounding West Goshen subdivisions, which means buyers assume full individual responsibility for exterior upkeep and capital improvements — a material distinction when modeling long-term carrying costs.

Worth Asking
Have you considered that buying in a subdivision where the elementary school shares a street with residential lots means boundary-map changes could reassign future students without any change to your address — and that verifying the current attendance zone directly with WCASD before closing is a step that’s easy to overlook?
Common Questions
Does Glen Acres have a homeowners association?
No HOA has been identified through public records transaction records or public sources. Homeowners in Glen Acres are not subject to association dues, CC&Rs, or architectural review committees based on currently available data. Buyers should confirm the absence of any recorded deed restrictions through a title search.
What schools serve Glen Acres?
Glen Acres Elementary School (K–5, located at 1150 Delancey Place within the subdivision, West Chester PA 19382) is the named feeder elementary. Students then attend J.R. Fugett Middle School (grades 6–8) and West Chester East High School (grades 9–12), all part of the West Chester Area School District. School boundary assignments can change; buyers should verify directly with WCASD at wcasd.net before making decisions based on school placement.
When were the homes in Glen Acres built, and what styles are typical?

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 count of total homes in the Glen Acres subdivision was found in any public source. LivingPlaces and public sales data confirm multiple streets but do not enumerate total units. Manual parcel count from Chester County GIS would be needed.
- Builder — No single named developer or production builder has been verified for the Glen Acres West Chester PA subdivision. The community appears to have been developed across multiple builders or phases between 1954 and 1966. No deeds, plat filings, or contemporary records naming a builder were located.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Square footage range is synthesized from individual public records sale records (BEX Realty historical data and Redfin listing) rather than a comprehensive plat document. Range may not capture all home configurations, particularly heavily renovated units.
- Appreciation Range Text — MI tool reports appreciation data as not available for recent sales and sales count used for 33-year index is listed as 0. No long-run appreciation pattern can be stated with confidence.
- Hoa Name — No HOA was found in public sales data or public searches. One real estate blog explicitly states there is no HOA. However, no formal title search or Chester County recorder search was conducted to rule out any recorded deed restrictions or neighborhood covenants predating public records tracking.
