About
Birmingham Hunt is a residential subdivision in Birmingham Township, Chester County, built circa 1996–1998 by Southdown Homes, a Chester County builder that has constructed more than twenty communities across the region. The subdivision combines detached single-family homes and townhomes on a range of lot sizes, with interior square footage spanning roughly 2,000 to 4,000 sq ft depending on structure type. Residents are assigned to the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District—including Chadds Ford Elementary—a district in which 88% of elementary students test at or above proficiency in reading and 77% in math according to U.S. News Education data. The subdivision’s street names—Militia Hill Drive, Revere Road, Paine Drive, Patriot Place—reference the Battle of Brandywine, whose Sandy Hollow engagement took place on 42 acres of preserved open space accessible via South New Street, less than a mile from the neighborhood’s entrance.

- Approx Homes — No verified total unit count found across any source. LivingPlaces does not publish a unit count for Birmingham Hunt. Left null rather than estimate.
- Hoa Name — Management Company — The HOA name is confirmed as Birmingham Hunt Homeowner Association, but no third-party management company could be verified from public sources. HOA directory entry exists but contains no fee or management detail.
- Hoa Fees And Hoa Amenities — No verifiable HOA fee amount, reserve fund status, or specific shared amenities (pool, clubhouse, open space acreage) found for Birmingham Hunt specifically. Buyers should request the current budget and reserve study at time of offer.
- Builder — Confirmation Of Sole Builder — LivingPlaces attributes the subdivision to Southdown Homes circa 1996. This is consistent with Southdown’s documented history of Chester County communities, but no primary source (deed, township permit) was located to independently confirm Southdown as the sole builder for all phases.
