About
Meadowview is a 69-unit planned townhome community in West Bradford Township, Chester County, built by Ryan Homes between 2013 and 2015 and fully sold out as a new-construction offering. The development is organized around cul-de-sac streets with green space between building clusters; all units are three-level attached townhomes clad in beaded vinyl siding and stone knee walls — no stucco construction. Elementary-age residents are zoned to West Bradford Elementary School, part of the Downingtown Area School District, which also operates the nationally ranked Downingtown STEM Academy as a magnet high school option for qualifying students.
Specifications
Home Stock
Three-level attached townhomes — interior row and end-of-row configurations — each with a one-car garage. Layouts offer up to four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. Exterior finish is beaded vinyl siding and stone knee walls; no stucco was used in construction.
Location & Access
West Bradford Township is served by U.S. Route 322 (Downingtown Pike) and Pennsylvania Route 162 (Strasburg Road) as its primary numbered corridors. The community’s original marketing noted proximity to West Chester, Exton, downtown Downingtown, and the Thorndale SEPTA rail station.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Meadowview’s long-run appreciation has trailed the broader Downingtown Area School District by a meaningful margin, which, combined with its mid-range price tier, positions it as one of the more accessible entry points for townhome ownership in the district — though buyers should weigh that underperformance against the limited resale inventory that characterizes small planned communities of 69 units.

Worth Asking

Common Questions
Who built Meadowview and when was it constructed?
Ryan Homes built Meadowview between 2013 and 2015. The community is now fully sold out as new construction; all transactions are resales. Ryan Homes used vinyl siding and stone knee walls on the exterior — no stucco — which eliminates one of the most common deferred-maintenance concerns in Chester County townhome communities of this era.
What schools serve Meadowview residents?
Meadowview sits in the Downingtown Area School District. The most common elementary assignment for the community is West Bradford Elementary School, a K–5 public school on Broad Run Road that ranks in the top 10% of Pennsylvania public schools based on state test scores. The district also operates the Downingtown STEM Academy, a nationally ranked magnet high school — admission to the STEM Academy is selective and requires a separate application; it is not an automatic assignment. Always verify current attendance boundaries directly with the district before purchase.
Is there an active HOA, and what does it cover?
Yes. Meadowview operates under an active HOA — the Meadowview Homeowners Association — which is responsible for governing the community as a Pennsylvania Planned Community under state law. The HOA maintains common areas and enforces the community’s covenants, conditions, and restrictions. Specific fee amounts and the full scope of covered services are not published publicly; buyers should request the current budget, reserve study, and CC&R documents during due diligence before making an offer.
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 community website (meadowviewdowningtown.org) confirms an HOA exists and the hmchoa.com portal is titled ‘Meadowview Homeowners Association,’ but the full legal HOA name as recorded with Chester County has not been independently verified against county deed records. Reviewer should confirm the exact recorded entity name.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — The 1,550–2,657 sq ft range comes from neighborhoods.com aggregated listing data, not from Ryan Homes’ original floor plan disclosures. Actual sq ft varies by unit and finish level. No official Ryan Homes floor plan spec sheet was located for this sold-out community.
- Hoa Fee Amount — No publicly verifiable current HOA fee amount was found. Buyers must request the current budget and reserve study directly from the HOA management company during due diligence.
- Hoa Amenities Detail — The community website (meadowviewdowningtown.org) truncated its About page content before listing amenities. The hmchoa.com Meadowview Homeowners Association amenities page describes a Longmont, CO community (144 single-family homes, established 1997) — this is a different unrelated Meadowview HOA sharing the same management platform. No specific amenity list for the Downingtown PA community was confirmed.
- Nearby Roads Text — The specific street address or road access point into Meadowview itself (e.g., which road the community entrance is on) was not independently verified; West Bradford township-level road data was used as a proxy.
School District
