What Makes This Distinct
Because the condominium association fee bundles heat and water into a single monthly charge, buyers should request the full reserve fund study and association financials before going under contract — fee increases directly affect carrying cost and resale appeal in this entry-level price tier.

What does the monthly condominium fee at Aston Arms cover?
Per public records disclosures from multiple settled transactions, the fee has included heat, water, sewer, common area maintenance, exterior building maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, trash, pest control, use of the community pool, and contributions to a reserve fund. Buyers should verify the current fee amount and what line items are included directly with the association prior to settlement, as coverage terms can change.
Which schools serve Aston Arms, and how close are they?

The feeder path continues to Northley Middle School and Sun Valley High School, both within one mile.

Are pets allowed at Aston Arms Condominiums?
Pet policies have varied by listing and over time. Some public records show no pets allowed; at least one 2025 listing noted breed restrictions and a number limit. Buyers and renters should confirm the current pet policy directly with the Aston Arms Condominium Association before executing any contract or lease, as condominium boards can amend rules.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Builder — No named builder identified in any source. Community appears to have been developed as a single project circa 1960 but no developer/builder name surfaced in public records, local news archives, or property data sources.
- Approx Homes — ForRent.com reports 109 units based on community-supplied data; this figure cannot be independently verified against county parcel records or a recorded condominium declaration. Marked ‘estimated’ accordingly.
- Hoa Name — Yahoo Local and Yelp list ‘Aston Arms Condominium Assoc’ at 224 Pennell Rd, Aston; formal legal entity name as registered with PA would require a condominium declaration search at Delaware County Recorder of Deeds — not confirmed at that level.
- Hoa Monthly Fee — Multiple 2024–2025 public records confirm $417/month but this figure is excluded from page content per evergreen rules; noted here for Cyr Team reference. Fee amounts change and buyers must verify directly.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — The vast majority of public records show 840 sq ft for both 1BR and 2BR units; at least one listing (public records PADE2092826) records 924 sq ft. It is unclear whether 924 sq ft reflects a different building, an end unit, or a data entry variation. Floor plan documentation not publicly available.
- Tennis Courts Current Status — LivingPlaces references tennis courts as an amenity; no current public records confirm active tennis courts. Most recent listings reference pool and clubhouse only. Status of tennis courts should be verified with the association.
- Pet Policy — Pet policies conflict across listings: some show no pets, one 2025 listing shows breed restrictions and number limit. Current policy must be confirmed directly with the association.
- Avg Year Built Anomaly Note — Input avg_year_built of 1963 is consistent with county records showing 1960 construction and LivingPlaces noting ‘ca. 1970.’ The slight spread likely reflects a multi-year build-out. NOT flagged as anomalous — the figure is reasonable.
School District
Aston Arms is served by the Penn-Delco School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
