What Makes This Distinct
Cedar Hollow’s ~2.3-acre lot sizes place it in a low-density segment of Tredyffrin Township’s residential market; buyers who later wish to subdivide or add accessory structures should verify current R-1 district lot-coverage and setback requirements with the township’s Planning & Zoning department before purchase.
Worth Asking
Have you considered what happens to re-sale positioning when a subdivision has no recorded HOA — meaning no shared maintenance obligations, but also no architectural controls to govern what a neighbor builds or how a lot is maintained over decades?

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 public records settlement data available and no authoritative source documents the total number of homes in Cedar Hollow. Catalpa Drive shows only 4 recorded addresses per Ownerly and NeighborWho, suggesting the subdivision may be very small, but additional streets or parcels may exist that are not captured. Count left null.
- Hoa Name — No HOA record found through public sales data, township documents, or web research. Community appears to lack a formal HOA, but absence of evidence is not conclusive. Buyer’s title search should verify no recorded declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs).
- Builder — No single builder identified for Cedar Hollow. The circa-1978–1982 build window spans several years suggesting organic or multi-builder development. No builder name could be verified from named sources.
- Era Band — LivingPlaces.com cites ‘circa 1979’; Trulia/BEX list 1071 Catalpa Dr as built 1978; Ownerly cites Catalpa Drive average build year as 1982. Era band set to Mid-Century (1945-1980) as the preponderance of evidence points to late 1970s construction start, though some homes may have been completed into the early 1980s.
- Shared Name Sibling — A ‘Cedar Hollow’ subdivision exists in Manheim, Lancaster County, PA (homesale.com), unrelated to this community. Agents and buyers should confirm county and ZIP code when running public records searches to avoid cross-contamination of comps.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Only a point estimate (~2,800 sqft) is available from LivingPlaces.com and one confirmed listing at 1071 Catalpa Dr (2,796 sqft). No full sales dataset confirms a range. Range presented as approximate typical value, not a verified min-max.
