Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Hoa Fee Amount — Current monthly HOA fee is not published on the community’s official website or the township’s public roster. One older real estate broker page (dominickrealestate.com) cited a range of $200–$265/month, but this appears to predate current management and cannot be verified as current. Buyers must confirm fees directly with First Resource Residential or in the association disclosure.
- Interior Sqft Range Text (Townhomes And Carriage Homes) — LivingPlaces.com documents median sq ft only for single-family detached homes on Pendula Court and Snowberry Way (~2,850 sq ft). The neighborhoods.com range of 1,996–3,657 sq ft covers all product types but is not broken out by housing type. No authoritative per-model floor plan data was locatable for townhomes or carriage homes; buyers should verify with the association or county records.
- Approx Homes Discrepancy — mainlinephillyhomes.com states 440 homes; the West Whiteland Township Public Services Commission roster (updated 1/31/2024) sums to 439 (235+116+88). The township document is the more authoritative primary source and is used for approx_homes. The 440 figure on the broker site likely reflects a rounding.
School District
Whiteland Woods is served by the West Chester Area School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
