What Makes This Distinct

Buyers seeking relative value within the district may find this gap noteworthy; sellers should underwrite expectations against district-wide comps rather than assuming new-construction premium persistence.

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 (recorded plat, township permit count, or Lennar sales materials) provided a total unit count. MainLinePhillyHomes described the development as ‘medium sized’ without a number. Field left null.
- Hoa Name — The formal legal name of the HOA entity (as recorded with Chester County) could not be confirmed from publicly available sources. Access Property Management’s website lists the community but does not publish the HOA’s legal name. Buyers should obtain the HOA disclosure package for the exact entity name.
- Flood Zone Status — No parcel-level FEMA flood zone determination was made. Chester County’s ChescoViews tool (chesco.org) allows address-level lookup. Buyers should verify flood zone status for any specific address before closing.
- 55 Plus Flag Activeadultliving Conflict — ActiveAdultLiving.com lists Townes at Shannon Hill in its 55+ database, which conflicts with the public records 55+ flag of ‘No’ and the community’s marketing materials targeting families and Downingtown school district buyers. The public records flag and Lennar’s own marketing are more authoritative; the ActiveAdultLiving listing appears to be a data error. No review flag triggered because the authoritative source is clear.
