About
Charlestown Meadows is a 191-unit townhouse subdivision built by Toll Brothers between 2004 and 2012 on 77 acres in Charlestown Township, Chester County.

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 — The figure of 191 homes comes from mainlinephillyhomes.com, a real estate broker site, not a recorded county document or HOA filing. Tier set to ‘estimated’ accordingly.
- Hoa Name — The formal legal HOA entity name has not been verified against Chester County recorder filings. Public records and third-party HOA directories consistently reference ‘Charlestown Meadows HOA’ managed by CCR Management, but the exact recorded declaration name is unconfirmed.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — LivingPlaces cites a typical unit at approximately 2,500 sq ft; individual public records show a range from roughly 2,500 to over 3,700 sq ft depending on model and finished basement. No Toll Brothers original floor-plan document was located to confirm the full model range.
- Builder — Toll Brothers is cited by both LivingPlaces.com and mainlinephillyhomes.com. No primary source (e.g., Chester County deed or Toll Brothers press release) was found to independently verify, though the builder identity is consistent across multiple independent sources.
