Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Builder — No named builder identified for Bryn Erin across any accessible source. Multiple real estate listing sites reference the community without identifying an original developer. Left null per instructions.
- Hoa Name — No HOA exists at Bryn Erin per multiple independent sources (mainlinephillyhomes.com, Redfin listings). Field correctly set to null; this is a structural characteristic, not a gap.
- Approx Homes — The East Whiteland Township trail project page references ‘over 270 homes’ in the neighborhood. This figure is used as an estimate, not a verified unit count from a recorded subdivision plat or assessor data.
- Avg Year Built — appreciation index reports average year built as 1982; LivingPlaces reports ‘circa 1984’; the legacy hint also says ‘circa 1984.’ The two-year difference is within normal range for an approximate construction period, but the precise figure has not been independently verified by Chester County assessor records. Not anomalous; flagged for awareness only.
- Lot Character Text — Cemetery Adjacency — Haym Salomon Memorial Park (a Jewish cemetery) and Philadelphia Memorial Park are both cited as adjacent to Bryn Erin by mainlinephillyhomes.com. This is a factual site characteristic buyers should know; proximity to cemeteries may affect some buyers’ decisions and should be disclosed in buyer consultations.
