About
Willistown Hunt is a 98-unit townhome subdivision in southwestern Willistown Township, Chester County, built by Orleans (JP Orleans) between 2002 and 2004 under a limited-access plan with a single entry point from Street Road (Route 926) onto Longview Lane. The development delivered three distinct floor plan styles ranging from approximately 2,300 to over 3,500 square feet, each with one- or two-car garages, three or four bedrooms, and two-story family rooms with gas fireplaces; select units include finished walk-out basements. The community falls within the Great Valley School District, which serves Willistown Township through multiple elementary schools including General Wayne and Sugartown, both located within the township.

Worth Asking
Have you considered what it means to buy into the lowest-turnover street in a township-level school district — where comparable units one mile away may carry a significant premium simply because they trade more often and generate more visible comparable sales?
Common Questions
What school district serves Willistown Hunt, and which elementary school is assigned?
Willistown Hunt is served by the Great Valley School District, which covers Willistown Township, East Whiteland Township, Charlestown Township, and Malvern Borough. The district operates four elementary schools; two — General Wayne Elementary and Sugartown Elementary — are physically located within Willistown Township. Specific elementary assignment for Longview Lane addresses should be confirmed directly with Great Valley School District, as attendance boundaries have been redrawn at least once since the community was built (a 2006–2007 redistricting followed Sugartown’s renovation).
How many homes are in Willistown Hunt, and who built them?
The community contains 98 townhomes built by Orleans (now operating as JP Orleans), a multi-generational regional homebuilder. Construction ran from 2002 through approximately 2004, with the majority of original sales completing in 2003–2004. The homes were delivered in three floor plan styles, all within a single limited-access development off Longview Lane.
Is there a homeowners association, and what does it cover?
Yes. The association is named the Willistown Hunt Community Association and is managed by Access Property Management (Horsham office). The HOA’s governing documents address rules, regulations, and quality standards for the community. Prospective buyers should request the current budget, reserve study, meeting minutes, and any open violation notices as part of due diligence — standard practice for any attached-home HOA in Pennsylvania.
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 Source Tier — The 98-unit count comes from a 2010 ActiveRain blog post by a Long & Foster agent, not from township records or a builder prospectus. No independent verification from a municipal or deed source was found. Treat as estimated.
- Faq 1 A (Elementary Assignment) — No authoritative GVSD boundary map could be accessed to confirm whether Longview Lane addresses are zoned for General Wayne Elementary or Sugartown Elementary. The public records structural data field ‘most common elementary’ was blank. A district boundary lookup at gvsd.org is required before publishing.
- Hoa Name — The Access Property Management page for the Willistown Hunt Community Association returned minimal content (only a contact header). HOA fee amount, reserve status, and specific maintenance scope could not be verified from public sources.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — The 2,300–3,500 sq ft range is from a 2010 ActiveRain post; LivingPlaces.com cites a 2,500 sq ft median. Neighborhoods.com cites 2,264–3,850 sq ft. Sources are consistent in direction but not identical; no builder specification sheet was located.
- Lot Character Text — No recorded plat or township land development approval document was located to describe lot sizes, open space dedication, or impervious coverage limits.
