About
Autumn Hills is a detached single-family subdivision in East Nottingham Township, Chester County, recorded in the Oxford PA 19363 mailing area and served by the Oxford Area School District.

Common Questions
What school district serves Autumn Hills, and which elementary school is the likely assignment?
Autumn Hills is within the Oxford Area School District, which serves East Nottingham Township along with Oxford Borough, Elk Township, Lower Oxford Township, Upper Oxford Township, and West Nottingham Township. Nottingham Elementary School (grades 3–4, located at 736 Garfield Street, Oxford) is one of four district elementary schools and the facility geographically proximate to this area of East Nottingham Township. School assignment boundaries can change; buyers should verify the specific assignment for any property directly with the Oxford Area School District before making a decision.
Do homes in Autumn Hills have public water and sewer, or are they on well and septic?
Based on multiple recorded public records for Autumn Hill Drive addresses, homes in Autumn Hills are served by private wells and on-lot septic systems. There is no public water or public sewer connection documented for this subdivision. Buyers should budget for pre-purchase septic inspection, understand the distinction between a septic inspection and a septic certification, and confirm well water quality through independent testing at time of offer.
Is there an HOA in Autumn Hills, and what does that mean for buyers?
Public records for Autumn Hills show no HOA fee on at least one documented transaction (324 Autumn Hill Drive, listed as ‘HOA: None’ on Trulia/Bright public records). LivingPlaces.com identifies the subdivision by name but does not document an active association. No verified HOA governing documents, management company, or fee schedule has been located through public sources. Buyers should request HOA disclosure from the seller at time of offer and confirm with East Nottingham Township whether any recorded deed restrictions govern the community.
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 total home count for the Autumn Hills subdivision has been found in any named public source. Spokeo lists 30 records for Autumn Hill Dr, but that is a single street and the subdivision includes additional streets (Fawn Run, Freese Road, Roylene Drive, Little Elk Creek Road). No parcel-level count from Chester County GIS was accessible to confirm total units.
- Builder — No builder or developer name has been identified for Autumn Hills through any verified public source. The presence of named floor plan types (Nottingham, Oxford, Sherwood, Wyndham per LivingPlaces.com) suggests a single developer, but no corporate name appears in public records, deed records, or news coverage found during research.
- Hoa Name — No active HOA name, management company, or governing documents have been identified. At least one public records record lists HOA as ‘None.’ LivingPlaces.com provides no HOA data. autumnhillhoa.net appears to reference a different community (access restricted geographically). HOA status should be confirmed by seller disclosure at time of offer.
- Avg Year Built (Mi Tool Shows 1993 Vs. Mls Records Showing 1999–2006) — The MI tool’s average year built of 1993 is earlier than all individual public records-verified build years found (1999–2006). This may reflect a small sample pulling in outlier data, or may indicate the MI tool’s index captures some non-subdivision parcels on Little Elk Creek Road. Flag for review; the era band is set to Late 20th Century (1980–2000) as a conservative anchor consistent with public records evidence.
- Elementary School Assignment — The specific elementary school assignment for Autumn Hills addresses within the Oxford Area School District’s internal attendance zone map was not confirmed via a district-published boundary document. Nottingham Elementary is geographically proximate and is the school serving the East Nottingham Township area, but buyers must verify directly with OASD due to possible zone changes.
