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 authoritative source confirms the total number of homes in Bradford Walk. The community is described as ‘medium sized’ by third-party sites but no official plat count was found. BuzzBuzzHome noted 17 photos but that is not a unit count.
- Hoa Fee Current — A third-party source noted dues under $70/month at time of initial sale (circa 2016–2020). Current fee is unverified; buyers must request resale disclosure documents.
- Lot Size Range — Only a single lot size (10,938 sq ft) was documented from one public records record. No comprehensive lot size range was found across all homesites.
- Elementary School Assignment — West Bradford Elementary is the logical assignment given township location, and is confirmed by proximity and the Compass listing citing West Bradford El School as a nearby school. However, no official DASD boundary map was reviewed. Buyers should verify directly with DASD.
