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 is identified in any source. The 1954 deed-restricted development likely involved multiple builders or a now-undocumented developer; left null rather than guessed.
- Hoa Status Mls — Public records-derived HOA status is ‘Unknown,’ but the Radnor Green Civic Association is a verified incorporated entity. The RGCA functions as a voluntary civic association with dues, not a mandatory HOA with deed-enforced assessments — this distinction may affect public records HOA coding.
- Lot Size Range — Specific lot dimensions are not published by the RGCA or in readily accessible county parcel data; lot character described qualitatively from listing language and neighborhood layout.
- Appreciation Range Text — Appreciation is provided as a pattern-language range (moderate, 40–60%) and is consistent with the MI tool’s 49.7% average return. No anomaly detected.
