About
Greene Countrie Village is a mixed condominium and townhome development in Newtown Township, Delaware County, built primarily in the 1960s and early 1970s along Earles Lane and Chelsea Circle. The community is governed by the Greene Countrie Village Owner’s Association, incorporated in Pennsylvania, and includes on-site amenities: a clubhouse, an outdoor pool, and an on-site management team. The HOA fee structure covers exterior building maintenance, snow removal, trash, and water — buyers should confirm current fee amounts directly, as resident-reported figures have exceeded $400/month and been subject to special assessments related to the Earle’s Lake dam liability.
Specifications
Home Stock
Contemporary-style two-story townhomes and condos constructed in the 1960s and early 1970s, with stucco exteriors. Units typically include a patio or deck; some also have a balcony. Detached singles on the perimeter follow the same construction era with more traditional footprints.
Location & Access
Goshen Road (Route 252) and Sawmill Road serve as the primary entry points. West Chester Pike (Route 3) is approximately 1–2 miles north. The community sits near the Radnor Township line, giving proximity to Darby-Paoli Road and Saw Mill Park.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Greene Countrie Village carries documented litigation risk: as of 2020, the Owner’s Association was party to at least two Delaware County Court of Common Pleas cases (CV-2019-003716 and CV-2020-006309) arising from the Earle’s Lake dam, with potential liability cited publicly as exceeding one million dollars — a material fact that Pennsylvania law requires to be disclosed in any resale transaction under 68 Pa. C.S. § 5407.

What school does Greene Countrie Village feed into?

Culbertson consistently outperforms Pennsylvania state averages on PSSA scores. School boundary assignments can change — verify directly with the Marple Newtown School District before relying on any boundary map.
What is the Earle’s Lake situation and why does it matter to buyers?
Earle’s Lake was a five-acre lake within the development whose dam was damaged by Hurricane Irene in 2012. The Pennsylvania DEP ordered the Greene Countrie Village Owner’s Association to either repair or breach the dam, with costs estimated between $800,000 and over $1 million. As of 2020, the HOA was a plaintiff in at least two open lawsuits in Delaware County Court of Common Pleas related to dam cost-sharing. Pennsylvania law (68 Pa. C.S. § 5407) requires disclosure of open litigation and its potential liability to any buyer at resale. Buyers should request the current association disclosure package and confirm whether these suits have been resolved before proceeding.
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 has been identified in any verified source. The community was developed in the 1960s–early 1970s; one reference names ‘Fountain Square of Greene Countrie’ as a related partnership entity (William K. Slater, general partner per PA Bureau of Corporations records cited in SeeClickFix thread), but this does not confirm a primary builder of record.
- Approx Homes — The figure of 212 condos appears in two news sources (Savvy Mainline and Delco Today) but applies specifically to the condo portion. Total unit count including detached singles across both Greene Countrie and Greene Countrie Village is unconfirmed from primary source documents.
- Hoa Fee Current — HOA fees have been historically reported at $460/month (mainlinephillyhomes.com, undated) and over $400/month (SeeClickFix resident post). Current fee amounts are not verified from a primary association document and may have changed, particularly given special assessments tied to dam litigation.
- Earles Lake Litigation Status — Two Delaware County Court of Common Pleas cases (CV-2019-003716, CV-2020-006309) were documented as open as of 2020. Current resolution status is not confirmed; a 2025 Pennsylvania Superior Court opinion referencing a related Wilson v. GCV matter was found (J-A22027-25) but the full disposition of both trial court cases is unverified.
- Township — The input row listed Township as blank. Research confirms the correct township is Newtown Township, Delaware County — not Marple Township. The Newtown Township precinct map and LivingPlaces.com both place Greene Countrie Village within Newtown Twp. This is consistent with the school district (Marple Newtown SD serves both Newtown and Marple townships).
School District
Greene Countrie Village is served by the Marple Newtown School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
