About
Glenhardie is a mixed-format community in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, holding a Wayne mailing address (ZIP 19087) and assigned to the Tredyffrin-Easttown School District, with Valley Forge Elementary as the most common feeder school. The community spans two distinct product types built in the 1960s: detached single-family homes on lots ranging from one-half to more than three acres, and a campus of 20 three-story condominium buildings along Drummers Lane constructed between 1968 and 1970 with approximately 459 one- and two-bedroom units. The subdivision is bounded on its north edge by Valley Forge National Historical Park — a 3,500-acre federal park with over 30 miles of hiking and biking trails — and lies minutes from Route 422, I-76, and Route 202.
Specifications
Home Stock
The detached component, built circa 1960, includes split-level and colonial-style single-family homes typical of mid-century Chester County construction. The condominium component, built between 1968 and 1970, consists of 20 three-story residential buildings with one- and two-bedroom flats accessed via interior hallways. Some ground-floor units have private patio or slider access.
Location & Access
Route 422 (east boundary), I-76/PA Turnpike (south boundary), Route 202 (accessible nearby), Old Eagle School Road (Glenhardie Country Club access), Swedesford Road (north of condo entrance), Thomas Road (west boundary). Streets within the subdivision include Glenhardie Road, Drummers Lane, Glenn Circle, Gulph Road, Joseph Drive, Richards Road, Stephens Drive, Thomas Jefferson Road, Weedon Road, and Worthington Road.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Buyers evaluating the condominium component should note that the Glenhardie Condominium Association’s monthly fee has historically covered gas heat, hot water, sewer, water, exterior building maintenance, landscaping, and snow and trash removal — an unusually broad utility bundle for the price tier — but membership in the adjacent Glenhardie Country Club (golf, pool, tennis) is a separate optional cost, not included in the association fee. TESD is also actively redistricting all elementary attendance boundaries ahead of the projected August 2027 opening of Bear Hill Elementary School, meaning the current Valley Forge Elementary assignment for Glenhardie addresses is subject to change before the 2027–28 school year.

Common Questions
What school district serves Glenhardie, and which schools will my children attend?
Glenhardie is served by the Tredyffrin-Easttown School District (TESD), with Valley Forge Elementary School as the current most common elementary feeder, followed by Valley Forge Middle School and Conestoga High School. However, TESD is actively undertaking a district-wide redistricting process tied to the opening of Bear Hill Elementary School in August 2027. The redistricting plan is expected to be finalized by a School Board vote in late 2026 or early 2027. Buyers with school-age children should confirm their specific address assignment directly with TESD before closing.
What does the Glenhardie Condominium Association fee cover, and are the country club amenities included?
Based on multiple listing disclosures, the monthly condo association fee at Glenhardie Condominiums has historically covered exterior building maintenance, landscaping, snow and trash removal, and utilities including gas for heat and cooking, hot water, cold water, and sewer. Residents pay electric separately. The Glenhardie Country Club — which operates a 9-hole golf course (opened 1964), swimming pool, and tennis courts at 1399 Old Eagle School Road — is available to condominium residents at a reduced membership rate but is not included in the standard association fee. Confirm current fee amounts and inclusions with the Glenhardie Condominium Association directly before making an offer.
What is the geographic setting of Glenhardie, and what are the transportation and noise considerations?
Glenhardie is bounded by Route 422 to the east, the PA Turnpike (I-76) to the south, Thomas Road to the west, and Valley Forge National Historical Park to the north. This location provides fast access to Routes 202, 422, I-76, and the R5 SEPTA regional rail line, and places the community within minutes of King of Prussia Mall and the Schuylkill River Trail trailhead. The tradeoff is audible highway noise for units or homes on the Route 422 side of the community — a factor that has been raised in resident reviews. Buyers should visit at different times of day and evaluate unit orientation before committing.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Builder — No single builder identified for either the detached Glenhardie single-family subdivision or the condominium component. LivingPlaces.com, the most granular subdivision reference source, lists no builder for Glenhardie (unlike nearby Treyburn, which names Bentley Homes). Left null per instructions.
- Approx Homes — The 459-unit figure applies specifically to the Glenhardie Condominium component (Drummers Lane). The detached single-family component’s home count is not verifiable from available sources. The 459 figure is classified ‘estimated’ as it comes from a real estate blog (justwestofphiladelphia.wordpress.com) corroborated by ActiveRain, not a primary HOA or municipal record.
- Hoa Name — The Glenhardie Condominium Association is verified for the condo component. No HOA name was found for the detached single-family Glenhardie subdivision. The public records HOA status is listed as ‘Unknown,’ consistent with organic development typical of 1960s Chester County subdivisions.
- Avg Year Built — The MI tool reports average year built of 1970. This is plausible and internally consistent: the detached homes were built circa 1960 per LivingPlaces, the condominiums between 1968-1970. The blended average of ~1970 across both product types is credible. No anomaly flagged.
- School Boundary Risk — TESD is actively redistricting all elementary attendance boundaries ahead of the August 2027 opening of Bear Hill Elementary School. The final redistricting plan requires a School Board vote expected in late 2026 or early 2027. The current Valley Forge Elementary assignment for Glenhardie cannot be confirmed as stable for buyers with children entering kindergarten in 2027 or later.
- Condo Fee Current Amount — Listing-derived condo fee amounts cited in sources range from approximately $239 to $270+ per month, but these are from historical listings (some several years old). Current fee should be confirmed directly with the Glenhardie Condominium Association.
