About
Radley Run is a multi-phase, single-family subdivision in Birmingham Township, Chester County, begun in 1965 — the first suburban residential development in the township, built on land historically associated with the Mather family’s Brandywine Hunt operation. The community is organized around Radley Run Country Club, a private 18-hole course (designed by Alfred H. Tull, founded 1965) that also offers an aquatics center and racquet sports facilities. Birmingham Township is entirely subsumed within the Brandywine Battlefield National Historic Landmark boundary — the only municipality in Pennsylvania so designated — meaning the land beneath Radley Run’s streets was an active theater of the September 11, 1777 Battle of Brandywine.
Specifications

Most are two-story detached structures with attached garages, full basements, and four or more bedrooms.
Location & Access
Country Club Road (bisects the community), Birmingham Road, and Lenape Road (Route 52). US Routes 202 and 1, and PA Route 926, are all within a few miles.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Radley Run’s HOA, incorporated in September 1978, maintains an architectural review committee with binding authority over all exterior changes and accessory structures, and administers community open space. At least one listing in the broader Radley Run street network has noted ‘NO HOA on this side of the street,’ suggesting HOA coverage boundaries are not uniform across all parcels and should be confirmed at the parcel level before closing.

Common Questions
What is the HOA structure in Radley Run, and what does it govern?
The primary governing body is the Radley Run Homeowners’ Association of Birmingham Township, Inc., incorporated in September 1978 under Pennsylvania law. The HOA operates an architectural review committee that must approve all major exterior changes and accessory structures before township permits are pulled. The association also manages community open space and a pond, collects annual dues, and issues resale certificates required for property transfers. At least one sub-section operates as ‘Radley Run III HOA’ with its own published architectural guidelines. Buyers should request a current resale certificate and confirm which HOA section governs a specific parcel, as at least one listing has noted ‘NO HOA on this side of the street,’ indicating non-uniform coverage.
Which schools serve Radley Run, and how do they rank?
Radley Run falls within the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. The most common elementary school assignment is Pocopson Elementary, which ranks 57th out of 1,511 Pennsylvania public elementary schools on SchoolDigger and carries a 5-star rating. In the 2024–2025 school year, 81.4% of Pocopson students scored proficient or better in PSSA Math and 80.1% in PSSA English Language Arts — far above state averages. Students then attend Charles F. Patton Middle School and Unionville High School, which ranks 12th out of 610 Pennsylvania school districts. School boundary assignments can shift; buyers with school-age children should verify current attendance zones directly with UCFSD before committing to a purchase.
Is Radley Run Country Club membership included with homeownership?
No. Radley Run Country Club is a separate, private, member-owned club at 1100 Country Club Road. Membership is not automatic or included with HOA dues. The club offers golf (18-hole course, designed by Alfred H. Tull, slope 134–137), an aquatics center, racquet sports, and dining facilities. Separate membership tiers exist for golf, sports, and social access. Proximity to the club is a geographic feature of the neighborhood, but joining requires a separate application and fee structure. Buyers interested in club access should contact the club’s membership director directly.
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 home count for the full Radley Run subdivision (all four sections combined) was found in any named source. The HOA member directory is members-only. Not invented.
- Builder — No single named builder identified across sources. Birmingham Township history describes the development as a ‘decades-long project’ suggesting multiple builders over time.
- Hoa Dues Amount — The HOA dues page at radleyrunhomeowners.com is members-only and gated; specific annual dues amount could not be verified.
- Hoa Coverage Boundaries — At least one sold listing in the broader Radley Run street network noted ‘NO HOA on this side of the street,’ suggesting HOA coverage may not be uniform across all parcels. Section-by-section HOA mapping was not publicly accessible. Buyers should verify at the parcel level.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — The 1,460–5,990 sq ft range is drawn from neighborhoods.com aggregated data, which may blend Radley Run proper with nearby streets. Public records-level verification for the detached SFH subset was not directly accessible.
