About
Pemberton is an 86-unit townhome community in New Garden Township, Chester County, developed by Bentley Homes between 2015 and approximately 2021 off Pemberton Road in the 19348 ZIP code. The community sits within the Kennett Consolidated School District, with Bancroft Elementary School approximately one-quarter mile from the entrance — close enough that the builder marketed it as walking distance. The Pemberton HOA covers common area maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, trash, and reserve funds, so exterior upkeep of shared spaces is association-managed rather than owner-managed.

Common Questions
Who built Pemberton, and when was it constructed?
Pemberton was developed by Bentley Homes, a Chester County builder. Construction began in 2015 with Phase I comprising 31 units, and Phase II extended the community to 86 total homes with deliveries continuing into at least 2021. Buyers should verify the specific year built for any unit from Chester County tax records or the property’s public records disclosure.
What does the Pemberton HOA cover, and what is the HOA name?
The community association is named the Pemberton HOA. Public records indicate association fees cover common area maintenance, lawn maintenance, snow removal, trash, management fees, and reserve funds. Dues amounts change over time — buyers must request the current fee schedule, budget, and reserve study directly from the HOA or its management company before making an offer.
What schools serve Pemberton, and how does the district rate?
Pemberton falls within the Kennett Consolidated School District, a public district serving approximately 4,000 K–12 students across six schools in southeastern Chester County. The most common elementary assignment for Pemberton residents is Bancroft Elementary, located approximately one-quarter mile from the community. School boundary assignments can change — buyers should confirm current attendance zones directly with the Kennett Consolidated School District before purchase.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Only one confirmed public records sq ft figure (2,333 sq ft at 201 Kestrel Ct, 2019) was located. The Bentley Homes website for Pemberton no longer lists floor plan square footage for individual models. A full range across all Pemberton floor plans could not be independently verified from available public sources; buyers should verify per-unit square footage from Chester County assessment records or public records disclosures.
- Hoa Name — HOA name ‘Pemberton HOA’ is sourced from one public records listing record (homes.com, 201 Kestrel Ct). No independent HOA governing document, state UCC filing, or management company directory entry was located to corroborate the formal legal name. Cyr Team should verify against the community’s recorded Declaration of Covenants or current management company records.
- Hoa Dues — HOA dues are deliberately excluded from page content per evergreen policy. One public records record listed ~$194/month as of 2025, but dues change; buyers must request current figures from the HOA directly.
- Hoa Management Company — No management company name for Pemberton HOA was located in public directories or search results. Public sales data at 201 Kestrel Ct lists ‘Property Manager’ as a data field but does not name the firm. Cyr Team should verify.
- Shared Name Sibling — The name ‘Pemberton’ is shared with Pemberton Township, Burlington County, NJ — an unrelated municipality. Searches did not surface public records confusion, but agents should note this when setting up automated search alerts for clients.
School District
Pemberton is served by the Kennett Consolidated School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
