Avon Grove School District · Avondale Borough, Chester County, PA
Avon-Mohr
About
Avon-Mohr is a small detached single-family subdivision situated within Avondale Borough, a 0.49-square-mile municipality incorporated in 1894 in southern Chester County, Pennsylvania. The subdivision is served by the Avon Grove School District, a K–12 public system covering 67 square miles across five townships and two boroughs, located approximately 34 miles southwest of Philadelphia and 18 miles northwest of Wilmington, Delaware. Public records tag at least one home on Miller Drive with the subdivision name ‘AVON MOHR,’ and the legacy hint of construction circa 1988 is consistent with the era-band and with one recorded sale on Miller Drive dating to late 1989.
Specifications
Home Stock
Detached single-family homes. The one property with a confirmed subdivision tag of ‘AVON MOHR’ in public records (12 Miller Drive) is described as a Cape Cod style with aluminum/vinyl exterior, full basement, and 1.5 stories. The legacy hint of ‘detached single-family’ is consistent with this record and with public sales data showing only detached structures transacting.
Location & Access
Miller Drive is the primary internal street. The legacy spreadsheet notes Indian Run Road as the connector to Miller Drive. Route 41 (Pennsylvania Avenue / Gap Newport Pike) runs through Avondale Borough and serves as the primary regional arterial; U.S. Route 1 has a diamond interchange northwest of the borough.

What Makes This Distinct
Avondale Borough’s compact footprint (under half a square mile) and low total housing unit count — 361 units at the 2000 census — mean that a subdivision of approximately 35 homes represents a structurally meaningful share of the borough’s residential stock, which concentrates re-sale liquidity risk when buyer demand softens.
Worth Asking
Have you considered what it means that only one sale has recorded in this subdivision in the past 180 days — and what that low turnover rate implies for your ability to establish a defensible comparable when it’s time to price your own exit?
Common Questions
What school district serves Avon-Mohr, and what schools would children attend?
Avon-Mohr falls within the Avon Grove School District (AGSD), a K–12 public district headquartered in Chester County. AGSD currently operates four schools: Penn London Elementary (K–1 or K–2 depending on the year), Avon Grove Intermediate School (grades 2–5), Avon Grove Middle School (grades 6–8), and Avon Grove High School (grades 9–12). The district covers approximately 67 square miles and serves roughly 5,000 students. Buyers should independently verify current boundary assignments directly with AGSD before purchase, as attendance zone lines can change.
What type of homes are in Avon-Mohr, and how large are the lots?
Avon-Mohr consists of detached single-family homes. Public records for at least one home on Miller Drive — the subdivision’s primary internal street — show a Cape Cod style with approximately 1,960 sq ft of living space on a lot of roughly 9,500 sq ft (approximately 0.22 acres). The legacy data notes a median lot size of slightly under one-third of an acre; individual parcels may differ. The one public records settlement recorded in the past 180 days was a detached single-family home, consistent with the all-detached character of the neighborhood.
How does Avon-Mohr’s location in Avondale Borough affect access to major roads and nearby destinations?
Avondale Borough is served directly by Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike / Pennsylvania Avenue), which passes through the heart of the borough and connects southward to the Delaware state line and northward toward Lancaster County. U.S. Route 1 has a diamond interchange northwest of the borough. The borough sits approximately 34 miles southwest of Philadelphia and 18 miles northwest of Wilmington, Delaware, making it accessible to both metro areas by car. Note that Route 41 carries a documented high-accident rate and is the subject of active PennDOT improvement planning; buyers who commute via this corridor should assess current traffic conditions independently.
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 — The legacy spreadsheet states approximately 35 homes. No independent plat map, borough record, or third-party source was found to verify this count. Retained as an estimate pending a manual review of Chester County parcel data or the recorded subdivision plan.
- Hoa Name — No HOA name, governing documents, or dues amount were found through web search or the referenced livingplaces.com URL (which resolves to the Avondale Borough page, not a subdivision-specific HOA page). Public records-derived HOA status is blank. Cannot confirm or deny existence of an HOA without reviewing Chester County recorder records.
- Builder — No builder has been identified from any verifiable source. The legacy hint does not name a builder. Left null per instructions.
- Avg Year Built — The 33-year appreciation index input lists avg_year_built as ‘unknown.’ The legacy hint states ‘circa 1988’ but this is unverified beyond inference from a single 1989 recorded sale at 12 Miller Drive. Cannot confirm without parcel-level tax assessment data.
- Interior Sqft Range — Only one property (12 Miller Drive, ~1,960 sq ft) has a confirmed ‘AVON MOHR’ subdivision tag in publicly accessible records. Range cannot be established without additional parcel data.
- Lot Character Text — Median Lot Size — The legacy hint of ‘slightly less than 1/3 acre’ median is plausible but conflicts with the one confirmed parcel (9,500 sq ft = ~0.22 acres). The discrepancy is within a reasonable spread for a small subdivision but was not resolved. Both values noted.
- Most Common Elementary — Public records input field is blank. The Avon Grove School District restructured grade-level assignments in recent years; Penn London Elementary (K–1 or K–2) is the likely feeder school but this was not verified by a current official boundary map.
- Hoa Notes Source Url — The legacy hint cites https://www.livingplaces.com/PA/Chester_County/Avondale_Borough/Avon-Mohr.html as a source, but that URL was not found to resolve to a subdivision-specific page during research — only the borough-level page was accessible. The subdivision may not have its own livingplaces.com entry.
