About
Village of Rose View is a 100-home, age-restricted (55+) community in Penn Township, Chester County, built by E.J. Walsh III & Associates beginning in 2004 on the former grounds of Sunset Park — a country music venue that hosted performers including Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton from 1940 until it closed in 1995. The community is organized into villa buildings of four attached units (1,480–1,800 sq ft) and carriage home buildings of two units each (1,600–2,450 sq ft), all within the Avon Grove School District service area and accessible from Pennsylvania Route 796 near its intersection with US Route 1. The active HOA covers lawn maintenance, snow removal, trash removal, road maintenance, and common area upkeep, and governs a private clubhouse that includes a community room with fireplace, catering kitchen, card room, exercise room, billiards room, and library.

What Makes This Distinct

Worth Asking
Have you considered what the HOA reserve fund balance looks like before making an offer — specifically, whether the 2024 and 2025 reserve studies show adequate funding for roof, road, and clubhouse capital needs as the community ages past its first 20 years?
Common Questions
Is Village of Rose View truly age-restricted, or is it age-targeted?
Village of Rose View is an age-restricted 55+ community, meaning federal law (the Housing for Older Persons Act) requires that at least 80% of occupied units must have at least one resident aged 55 or older. Buyers under 55 should confirm compliance requirements directly with the HOA before making an offer, as violations can affect the community’s legal status.
What does the HOA fee cover at Village of Rose View?
Based on public records and listing disclosures, the homeowners association fee covers lawn maintenance, snow removal, trash removal, road maintenance, common area upkeep, and access to the community clubhouse and its amenities (exercise room, billiards, library, meeting and card rooms). Buyers should request the current budget and reserve study at the time of offer to confirm what is and is not included and to assess reserve fund health.
What is the history of the land Village of Rose View was built on?
The community sits on the former site of Sunset Park, an open-air country and bluegrass music venue operated by the Waltman family from 1940 to 1995 in Penn Township. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission erected an official state historical marker at the site in 2018. The community name and street address on Rose View Drive are unrelated to that legacy, but buyers interested in local history will find the marker nearby on Route 796.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Hoa Name — The formal legal name of the homeowners association governing Village of Rose View could not be confirmed from public records or official HOA filings. It may be ‘Village of Rose View Homeowners Association’ or similar, but no county recording or HOA management company listing was found to confirm the exact legal name.
- Township — The original structural data left Township blank. Research confirms the community is in Penn Township, Chester County, PA — verified via EveryHome public records listing, Penn Township history pages, and multiple builder/listing references. This is a correction, not a gap.
- Hoa Fee Current — HOA fee was approximately $220–$225/month based on early-phase new construction listings. Current fee is not confirmed; buyers should request the current budget from the HOA at the time of any offer.
- Approx Homes Source Tier Note — The 100-home total is sourced from the builder’s own marketing materials and multiple 55+ community databases. The split of 60 villas and 40 carriage homes is from 55places.com citing the builder plan. Whether all 100 units were ultimately built as planned should be confirmed with Chester County tax records.
