About
Exton Station Community Association is a 684-unit townhouse and condominium community in West Whiteland Township, Chester County, built on what was formerly the Bonny Blink Farms site. Construction occurred across multiple phases by several builders from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, producing a range of unit types — interior row townhouses, end units, and flat-style condominiums — with interior square footage spanning under 900 to over 2,000 sq ft. The community is organized under a master association overseeing four sub-associations (Exton Limited Condominium Association, Jenny Lind Homeowners Association, Railway Square Condominium Association, and Vanderbilt Village Homeowners Association), with the master association handling trash removal, snow removal, landscaping, sidewalks, internal court roads, and shared amenities including an outdoor pool, basketball and tennis courts, a ball field, playgrounds, and walking-path access near the Chester Valley Trail.
Specifications
Home Stock
A mix of interior row townhouses, end-unit townhouses, and flat-style condominiums. The community was built in multiple phases by several different builders from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s. Street names within the community — Roundhouse Court, Railway Square, Pullman Drive — reflect a deliberate railroad-era naming theme tied to the nearby Exton train station.
Location & Access
Located near the intersection of Route 100 and the Route 30 Bypass. Primary community access via King Road (Bonnie Blink Drive entrance) and South Ship Road (Pullman Drive entrance). Routes 202, 30, 100, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike are within driving range. The SEPTA/Amtrak Exton station, which serves the Paoli/Thorndale Line and Amtrak Keystone Service, is a short drive away.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Exton Station’s long-run appreciation pattern — recorded across more than three decades of sales — trails the broader West Chester Area School District average by a substantial margin, a gap that reflects the community’s condominium and townhouse product mix relative to single-family detached homes that dominate the district’s comparison set; buyers acquiring for appreciation should weigh this distinction before assuming district-level returns.

Worth Asking
Have you considered that the four sub-associations within Exton Station each carry their own governing documents, reserve fund status, and rules — meaning that a buyer in Jenny Lind Homeowners Association and a buyer in Railway Square Condominium Association may face materially different fee structures, rental restrictions, and special-assessment risk, even though both addresses say ‘Exton Station’?
Common Questions
What schools serve Exton Station?
Exton Station is in the West Chester Area School District in West Whiteland Township. The most common elementary school assignment for the community is Exton Elementary School, which serves grades K–5 and is located in Exton. West Whiteland Township is split between two middle and high school pathways — roughly half the township feeds to Peirce Middle School and West Chester Henderson High School, while the other half feeds to Fugett Middle School and West Chester East High School. Buyers should confirm their specific unit’s school assignments directly with the district, as boundary lines can shift within the same ZIP code.
How is the master HOA structured, and what does it cover?
Exton Station operates under a two-tier structure: a master association (Exton Station Community Association) that handles functions common to the entire community — trash and snow removal, landscaping, trees and shrubs, sidewalks, curbs, internal court roads, and shared recreational amenities — and four sub-associations, each with its own governing documents. The sub-associations are Exton Limited Condominium Association, Jenny Lind Homeowners Association, Railway Square Condominium Association, and Vanderbilt Village Homeowners Association. Before purchasing, buyers should request the reserve study, budget, and CC&Rs for both the relevant sub-association and the master association, as fee obligations and rules may differ between sub-associations.
What transit and highway access is available from Exton Station?
The SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale Line and Amtrak Keystone Service stop at Exton station on Route 100, a short drive from the community. Exton station provides rail access to Center City Philadelphia and, via Amtrak, to points including New York and Harrisburg. By road, the community has access to Routes 100, 30, 202, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The Chester Valley Trail — a 13.5-mile paved rail-trail running from Exton to King of Prussia — begins near the community and connects to the broader Circuit Trails network; a spur trail links the Chester Valley Trail directly to the Exton train station.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Builder — Multiple sources confirm the community was built by several different builders across multiple phases from the mid-1980s to early 1990s. No single builder name is verifiable; left null per instructions.
- Hoa Fees — Specific HOA fee amounts for the master association and sub-associations are not published in verifiable public sources. Buyers must request documents directly from the association or sub-association.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Saltwater Pool Claim — The Ann Byer Real Estate page describes the pool as ‘saltwater’; the official community portal (enumerate/extonstation) describes it simply as ‘an outdoor pool.’ The saltwater designation could not be independently verified from a primary community source. The more conservative description (‘outdoor pool’) is used in the structural content.
- School Assignment Precision — The specific school pathway (Peirce/Henderson vs. Fugett/East) for Exton Station addresses within 19380 was not confirmed at the parcel level. Wikipedia and township sources confirm the split exists within West Whiteland Township; buyers must verify their specific unit’s assignment with WCASD.
- Approx Homes — Crossings Sub-Community Count — The West Whiteland Township Public Services Commission document (Oct 2024) lists ‘The Crossings @ Exton Station’ separately with 186 townhomes managed by Diamond Community Services. Multiple primary sources (the master association’s own portal and thesoldshoppe.com) give total community count as 684. It is unclear whether The Crossings is counted within the 684 or is a separate adjacent community. This ambiguity should be resolved before publishing.
School District
