About
Chartwell is a detached single-family subdivision in Bethel Township, Delaware County, built circa 1993 on sidewalk-lined streets and cul-de-sacs in the 19317 zip code. The development was offered in four named floorplans — Lehigh, Newport, Radford, and Woodmere — and comprises approximately 169 homes on lots slightly under one-third of an acre each. Residents carry a Chadds Ford mailing address, feed into the Garnet Valley School District, and access regional highway corridors via Naamans Creek Road (Route 491) toward Route 202 and Interstate 95, placing Wilmington approximately 10 miles south and Philadelphia approximately 25 miles northeast.

Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Chartwell’s all-time resale data, tracked across The Cyr Team’s 33-year appreciation index, places the subdivision in the premium price tier for the Garnet Valley district and shows appreciation performance classified as exceptional — a pattern consistent with the district’s trajectory as one of the fastest-growing in Pennsylvania from 1993 to 2006. Buyers should be aware that the subdivision’s limited inventory means the opportunity window on any individual listing is historically short.
For Buyers & Sellers

Worth Asking
Have you considered that Chartwell’s four original floorplans — Lehigh, Newport, Radford, and Woodmere — were built to similar footprints in a single construction window, which means condition, renovation history, and lot position within the cul-de-sac network are likely the primary price differentiators between otherwise similar homes?
Common Questions
What school district serves Chartwell, and which elementary school do Bethel Township children attend?
Chartwell falls within the Garnet Valley School District, which serves Bethel Township, Concord Township, and Chester Heights Borough. Bethel Township children in the district are assigned to Bethel Springs Elementary School (grades 1–5), located at 3280 Foulk Road, Garnet Valley, PA 19060. All district students continue to Garnet Valley Middle School (grades 6–8) and Garnet Valley High School (grades 9–12). Attendance zone boundaries can change; buyers should verify current assignments directly with Garnet Valley School District before making a purchase decision.
Does Chartwell have a homeowners association, and what does it typically cover?
Yes, Chartwell has an active homeowners association confirmed through public records. The HOA oversees community standards and the maintenance of shared common areas. BEX Realty has cited monthly dues in the approximately $11-per-month range, though fee schedules change and should be confirmed directly with the HOA or its management company during the due-diligence period. The specific legal name of the HOA has not been independently verified by The Cyr Team and should be confirmed through the community’s governing documents.
How does Chartwell’s location in Bethel Township relate to commuting access?
Bethel Township borders the Pennsylvania-Delaware state line, placing Chartwell residents approximately 10 miles north of Wilmington and approximately 25 miles southwest of Philadelphia. The subdivision’s primary road exits connect to Naamans Creek Road (Route 491), which feeds into Route 202 (Concord Pike) — a corridor offering access to Interstate 95 for both city directions. SEPTA bus service runs on nearby corridors, though most residents commute by car. The Shoppes at Brinton Lake and Concordville Town Center provide nearby retail access.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Hoa Name — No source found confirming the legal registered name of the Chartwell HOA. Public sales data confirms HOA is active; BEX Realty cites an approximate monthly fee. Formal HOA name should be verified through Delaware County deed records or the community’s governing documents.
- Builder — No source identified the original developer or builder of Chartwell. The four named floorplans (Lehigh, Newport, Radford, Woodmere) suggest a single developer, but no corporate name was found in any accessible source.
- Approx Homes — The figure of ~169 homes comes from The Cyr Team’s existing page, which is not independently verified by a third-party source. Treat as estimated until confirmed against Delaware County parcel records or the HOA’s membership roster.
- Appreciation Range Text / Sales Count — The 33-year appreciation index input lists sales_count of 1, while the MI tool shows 4 sales in 2025 alone. This discrepancy suggests the appreciation index sales count may reflect a filtered or deduplicated dataset. Page uses pattern-language framing (‘more than doubling’) to remain evergreen and avoids relying on the count as a structural claim.
- Avg Year Built — Input avg_year_built is 1990; LivingPlaces documents the subdivision as built circa 1993; one listing (3760 Mayfield Lane) records 1989. All three data points are consistent with a phased build-out from approximately 1989 to 1993. No anomaly flagged, but the 1990 figure is an average across the development window, not a precise single year.
School District
Chartwell is served by the Garnet Valley School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
