About
Paddock Farms is a detached single-family subdivision in Haverford Township, Delaware County, with homes constructed from the 1930s through the 1970s — the bulk of them built during the 1950s post-war building wave. The land takes its name from the Paddock family, whose property appears on early-20th-century maps of the area, and the development was first advertised just before World War II, with full construction launching after the war. The neighborhood contains a township-owned park — Paddock Park at 214 W. Hillcrest Avenue — equipped with tennis courts, a basketball court, and a playground, and residents have organized since at least the early 2000s through the Paddock Farms Civic Association (PFCA), a member organization of the Haverford Township Civic Council that runs events including block parties, holiday celebrations, and an annual Summer Fun Jam concert in the park.

Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Paddock Farms carries no mandatory HOA, which means no association dues, no deed-restriction enforcement apparatus, and no reserve fund — buyers should budget independently for any shared-infrastructure expectations. The Paddock Farms Civic Association is a voluntary civic organization, not a governing HOA, so participation and event programming depend on ongoing resident engagement rather than contractual obligation.

Common Questions
What types of homes are found in Paddock Farms?
Paddock Farms is composed entirely of detached single-family homes. Architectural types include colonial, Cape Cod, and ranch styles, built primarily between the late 1930s and the early 1970s. The majority of homes date to the 1950s, with interior living space generally ranging from approximately 1,600 to 3,000 square feet and lots of roughly one-fifth of an acre. Some homes have been substantially renovated or expanded since original construction.
Is there a homeowners association (HOA) in Paddock Farms?
No mandatory HOA has been identified for Paddock Farms. The neighborhood does have an active voluntary civic organization — the Paddock Farms Civic Association (PFCA) — which is a registered member of the Haverford Township Civic Council. The PFCA organizes neighborhood events but does not collect mandatory dues, enforce deed restrictions, or maintain shared infrastructure. Buyers should confirm the absence of any recorded covenants through a title search.
Which school serves Paddock Farms, and how do I confirm my child’s assignment?
Paddock Farms falls within the School District of Haverford Township. Public records identify Coopertown Elementary School — one of five elementary schools in the district — as the most common assignment for homes in this subdivision. Coopertown serves grades K–5 and is located at 800 Coopertown Road, Bryn Mawr. Because the district maintains defined boundary maps designed to balance enrollment across all five buildings, buyers should confirm their specific address assignment directly with the district’s pupil services office before relying on any assumption about school placement.
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 verified home count for the Paddock Farms subdivision was found in any named source. Nextdoor reports 5,230 residents in its Paddock Farms census-tract boundary, but this likely encompasses a larger area than the named subdivision. No plat or township record specifying a lot count was located.
- Builder — The iliveinharford.com history references an ‘R.M. Webb development’ in connection with homes along Hillcrest Avenue that pre-date Paddock Farms proper, but does not name a single builder responsible for the Paddock Farms subdivision as a whole. The neighborhood appears to have been developed organically by multiple builders over four decades (1930s–1970s). No single builder can be verified.
- Hoa Name — No mandatory HOA was found in public records or through web research. The Paddock Farms Civic Association (PFCA) exists as a voluntary civic organization but is not a governing HOA. Buyers should confirm via title search that no recorded CC&Rs exist.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — LivingPlaces.com cites 1,600–3,000 sq ft; neighborhoods.com cites 1,152–3,366 sq ft. The two sources do not fully agree on the lower and upper bounds. LivingPlaces is used as primary given its more granular neighborhood-level documentation; the upper range may extend to ~3,400+ sq ft for renovated or expanded homes as shown in public records.
School District
