About
Plumly Farms is a detached single-family subdivision in Westtown Township, Chester County, built circa 1983 on lots with a median size of approximately 1.1 acres and homes averaging approximately 3,000 sq ft of interior living space. Interior streets—Ashley Road, Plumly Road, Farm Lane, Creamery Lane, and Stable Lane—are accessed from Shiloh Road South, which runs directly past West Chester Bayard Rustin High School. No HOA has been identified in public records or management company directories, meaning lot-level maintenance is the individual homeowner’s responsibility. The subdivision sits within the West Chester Area School District, with Westtown-Thornbury Elementary School assigned as the feeder elementary.

What Makes This Distinct

Common Questions
What school district serves Plumly Farms, and which specific schools are assigned?
Plumly Farms falls within the West Chester Area School District. Public records show the assigned feeder path as Westtown-Thornbury Elementary School (K-5, 750 Westbourne Road), Stetson Middle School, and West Chester Bayard Rustin High School. Rustin is located directly on Shiloh Road across from the subdivision’s entry point. Buyers should confirm current boundary assignments with the district before closing, as school attendance zones can change.
Is there a homeowners association in Plumly Farms, and what does that mean for maintenance obligations?
No HOA has been identified in public records or in Chester County–area HOA management directories for Plumly Farms. This means there is no common fee, no shared amenities governed by a board, and no HOA-level architectural review. It also means that any shared infrastructure—private lanes, drainage swales, or easements—would be the responsibility of individual lot owners or governed by recorded deed conditions rather than an association. Buyers should order a title search that specifically identifies any recorded easements or deed restrictions on their target parcel.
How large are the lots and homes in Plumly Farms?
Documented lot sizes in Plumly Farms range from approximately 1.0 to 1.3 acres per parcel, with a median near 1.1 acres. Home interiors typically run from approximately 1,976 to 3,564 sq ft of finished space based on publicly available listing and assessor data, with a reported median around 3,000 sq ft. Standard configurations include 4 bedrooms, 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms, full basements, and 2-car attached garages.
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 Plumly Farms was found in township records, plat documents, or named secondary sources. The Xome address list on Plumly Road alone shows approximately 22 addresses, but the full subdivision spans additional streets (Ashley Road, Farm Lane, Creamery Lane, Stable Lane, Russell Lane) and a complete count could not be confirmed without a recorded plat review.
- Builder — No builder or developer is identified in any available source for Plumly Farms. The circa-1983 construction era predates most digitized Chester County permit records. No single builder can be verified.
- Hoa Name — No HOA was found in public records, Chester County–area management company directories (including Shew Community Management’s published list), or web searches. The subdivision likely has no formal HOA, but buyers should confirm via title search whether any deed restrictions or recorded covenants exist.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Square footage range is estimated from individual listing and public-record data points across a small sample of homes; no comprehensive assessor-level aggregate was located.
