About

Sold listing records for addresses including 223, 225, 227, and 229 Cedar Crest Lane confirm a cul-de-sac layout with 2-story Colonial-style homes built in the early 2000s, sitting on parcels ranging from approximately 2 to 2.5 acres, with wooded rear yards. The neighborhood falls within the Kennett Consolidated School District, which operates New Garden Elementary, Bancroft Elementary, and Greenwood Elementary as its three K–5 schools, with Kennett Middle School and Kennett High School serving older grades.

What Makes This Distinct
With a very limited number of homes on a single cul-de-sac and no recorded master-planned HOA, Cedar Crest functions as an organic, low-density enclave; buyers should investigate any private road maintenance agreements or deed restrictions before closing, as these are not always captured in public sales data.

Common Questions
What school district serves Cedar Crest in New Garden Township?
Cedar Crest falls within the Kennett Consolidated School District (KCSD). The district operates three K–5 elementary schools — New Garden Elementary, Bancroft Elementary, and Greenwood Elementary — along with Kennett Middle School and Kennett High School. Because school boundary assignments can change, buyers should contact KCSD directly to confirm which elementary school serves a specific Cedar Crest address at the time of purchase.
Are there HOA fees at Cedar Crest?
No master-planned homeowners association has been identified for Cedar Crest Lane through public records or public sources. However, properties on private cul-de-sac roads in New Garden Township may be subject to private road maintenance agreements or deed restrictions that function similarly to HOA obligations. Buyers should review the title commitment and seller disclosures carefully to identify any such encumbrances before settlement.
When were the homes in Cedar Crest built?
Sold listing and public record data for multiple addresses on Cedar Crest Lane indicate construction in the early 2000s — for example, 227 Cedar Crest Lane is documented as built in 2000 or 2001, and 229 Cedar Crest Lane sold in January 2003. The appreciation index carries an average year-built figure of 1976, which is inconsistent with property-level evidence and is flagged as anomalous; buyers should verify the construction year for any specific home from Chester County tax records or a licensed home inspector.
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 — No authoritative source counts the total number of homes in the Cedar Crest enclave. Public records searches surface addresses at 223, 225, 227, 229, and 233 Cedar Crest Lane but this list may be incomplete. A Chester County GIS parcel query (ChescoViews) would be needed to confirm the full parcel count.
- Builder — No builder has been identified for Cedar Crest Lane through public records, LivingPlaces, or public deed searches. The small lot count suggests organic or custom development rather than a single tract builder, but this has not been verified.
- Hoa Name — No HOA name found in any source. Legacy hint and independent research both indicate no master-planned HOA; however, private road or maintenance agreements may exist and would only be discoverable through title review.
- Avg Year Built (Mi Tool Value Of 1976) — ANOMALY FLAGGED: The MI tool reports an average year built of 1976, but all verifiable property-level records for Cedar Crest Lane addresses show construction in 2000–2001. A 1976 average year built is inconsistent with the early-2000s Colonial homes documented in public records. This figure likely reflects a data artifact — possibly a single outlier sale or a broader geographic aggregation — and should not be used in page content. The legacy spreadsheet hint (‘early 2000s’) is consistent with public records evidence and is the more reliable reference.
- Elementary School Assignment — Public sales data field for most common elementary school is blank. One listing (227 Cedar Crest Ln) mentions proximity to Bancroft Elementary; New Garden Elementary is also nearby. KCSD should be contacted to confirm current boundary assignment for Cedar Crest Lane addresses.
- Interior Sqft Range Text (Precise Bounds) — Only four address-level data points are available (2,862 to 4,101 sq ft). A fifth address (233 Cedar Crest Ln) has no confirmed square footage in search results. Range is indicative, not comprehensive.
