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 unit count found across any source. Phase V alone was 45 townhouses per 2003 township minutes, but the total number of phases and units across the full community could not be confirmed. Do not publish a number without verification.
- Hoa Name — The formal legal name of the HOA (e.g., ‘Village of Shannon Homeowners Association’ vs. a slightly different registered entity name) was not confirmed from a recorded document. The Facebook page confirms ‘Village of Shannon’ as the community name and The Kelly Group as manager.
- Elementary School Assignment — The input data specifies E. Goshen (East Goshen Elementary) as the most common elementary school. However, livingplaces.com lists ‘Exton’ as the elementary school for Village of Shannon. Both are WCASD schools. The discrepancy may reflect different phases or sections of the community. Buyers must verify with the WCASD boundary map. The input public sales data is treated as more authoritative for this page.
- Hoa Fee Details — One listing noted an annual HOA fee of approximately $170/year—unusually low for a townhome community. This figure could not be independently verified from HOA documents, and the specific scope of coverage (exterior maintenance, roof, landscaping) is unknown. Buyers should request the full HOA budget and reserve study.
- Flood Plain Status — The June 2003 West Goshen Township board minutes reference a Special Exception for construction within the Flood Hazard District in the vicinity of Boot Road and Phoenixville Pike (adjacent to Village of Shannon). Whether any portion of the community lies within a FEMA-mapped flood zone could not be confirmed without parcel-level FEMA map review. Buyers should verify flood zone status for specific units.
- Builder — Listed as ‘Richard Kelly Group’ on livingplaces.com; the HOA Facebook page names ‘The Kelly Group’ as the current HOA management company—possibly the same entity in a different capacity. The builder attribution could not be confirmed via a primary source (deed records, township permits). Listed as found but flagged for verification.
School District
Village Of Shannon is served by the West Chester Area School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
