About
Runnymeade Farms is a multi-section residential subdivision in Edgmont Township, Delaware County, built in phases from 1982 through the mid-1990s, with a 2020s-era apartment phase added at the periphery. The community spans condominiums at Pritchard Place, townhome clusters on Muirfield Court and Sawgrass Lane, and detached single-family homes across named sections including Canter Village, Springton Woods, and The Reserve at Springton Pointe — all sharing access to a common outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts maintained through the Runnymeade Farms Homeowners Association. The site sits directly adjacent to Ridley Creek State Park and is served by the Rose Tree Media School District, with Rose Tree Elementary identified as the feeder school for addresses on Runnymeade Drive.
Specifications
Home Stock
Runnymeade Farms contains three distinct structure types within the same master HOA: traditional condominiums at Pritchard Place (148 units), townhomes in the Clusters sections (45 units on Muirfield Court and Sawgrass Lane, plus additional townhomes built by Holloway from 1982–1985), and detached single-family homes in sections including the original Runnymeade Farms, The Ridge, Canter Village, The Reserve at Springton Pointe, and Springton Woods. A Phase VII apartment addition (The Caswell at Runnymeade, 249 units at 1000 Bluebird View, developed by GMH Communities) opened in 2023 but is a separate rental community within the broader Runnymeade Farms address area.

Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Runnymeade Farms carries an active layered HOA structure: individual sub-association fees (e.g., Pritchard Place Condominium Association’s monthly fee covering exterior maintenance, pool, tennis, snow removal, trash, and water) stack on top of the master Runnymeade Farms HOA assessment — buyers should verify both fee obligations before contract, as the total carrying cost differs materially by product type.

Common Questions
What types of homes are available in Runnymeade Farms?
Runnymeade Farms is a mixed-structure community. It includes traditional condominiums at Pritchard Place (a 148-unit association on Pritchard Place), townhomes in the Clusters sections along Muirfield Court and Sawgrass Lane, and detached single-family homes across several named sections such as Canter Village, The Ridge, Springton Woods, and The Reserve at Springton Pointe. Interior sizes range from roughly 1,100 sq ft for entry-level condos up to approximately 4,000 sq ft (median) for detached singles on one-third-acre lots.
What amenities does the HOA provide in Runnymeade Farms?
The Runnymeade Farms Homeowners Association maintains shared outdoor amenities available to all residents: a swimming pool (with lifeguard oversight and a separate membership badge system) and tennis courts that also accommodate pickleball. Condominium owners at Pritchard Place carry an additional sub-association fee that covers exterior building maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, trash, and water. HOA fees and coverage differ by sub-association — buyers should request fee schedules and reserve fund disclosures for the specific section they are purchasing in.
Which schools serve Runnymeade Farms?
Runnymeade Farms sits in Edgmont Township and is served by the Rose Tree Media School District, which covers Media Borough, Edgmont Township, Middletown Township, and Upper Providence Township. Rose Tree Elementary has been identified as the feeder school for Runnymeade Drive addresses. However, the district is actively planning a new elementary school on Middletown Road specifically to address enrollment growth from new Edgmont Township developments, and attendance boundaries may be redrawn when that school opens. Buyers should confirm current elementary assignment directly with the district registrar at 610-627-6019 before relying on any third-party source.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Builder — The Holloway Corporation is documented as builder of the 65 townhomes (1982–1985); Murphy Homes built later single-family infill lots; GMH Communities developed Phase VII apartments. No single builder constructed the entire subdivision — field left null per instructions for organic/multi-builder communities.
- Approx Homes — One source (ActiveRain, 2009) states ‘over 400 homes’; another (ActiveRain/Century21, undated) states ‘approximately 350 homes.’ The 400+ figure is more consistent with the documented sub-association counts (148 condos + 45 Clusters 1 townhomes + 65 Holloway townhomes + undetermined singles across 5 named sections + 249-unit Phase VII apartments). Returned as estimated 400 for the legacy for-sale residential stock only; Phase VII rentals are excluded. Reviewer should confirm with current assessor parcel count.
- Hoa Name — The master HOA is consistently referred to as the ‘Runnymeade Farms Homeowners Association’ across multiple sources including clusters1.com. No official Pennsylvania UCC/state filing was located to confirm legal entity name. Sub-associations (Clusters 1 HOA, Pritchard Place Condominium Association) operate independently under the master.
- Faq 3 A — Elementary School Assignment — Rose Tree Elementary is named as the feeder school on murphyhomes.com and livingplaces.com for Runnymeade Drive/Edgmont Township addresses. However, RTMSD’s official attendance boundary document is a downloadable PDF not accessible in search results, and RTMSD is actively planning a new Edgmont elementary school that could change assignments. Buyers must verify directly with the district.
- Lot Character Text — Phase Vii Boundary — The Caswell at Runnymeade (249-unit apartments at 1000 Bluebird View) shares the Runnymeade Farms address but is a separate rental development. Its relationship to the for-sale HOA governance structure is unclear from available sources. Reviewer should confirm whether Caswell residents have access to the shared pool and tennis facilities.
