Worth Asking
Have you considered what it means that individual public records for Cambridge Estates list ‘No HOA’ while community-governance infrastructure — including covenants, architectural review requests, and an annual dues structure — appears to exist in the neighborhood’s history? Before you close, you’ll want title to confirm whether any recorded covenants or restrictions run with the specific lot you’re buying.

Students in Cambridge Estates are assigned to Coebourn Elementary School (K–5, located at 1 Coebourn Boulevard in Brookhaven), Northley Middle School (grades 6–8), and Sun Valley High School (grades 9–12), all within the Penn-Delco School District.

When were homes in Cambridge Estates built, and what styles are most common?
Based on public records, the majority of Cambridge Estates homes were constructed in the late 1950s through the 1960s — a pattern consistent with Brookhaven Borough’s documented post-war suburban expansion. Split-level and Colonial styles predominate, with brick, frame, and masonry construction. Most homes have 3 to 4 bedrooms, 1 to 2.5 bathrooms, attached garages, and finished lower-level family rooms.
Is there an HOA in Cambridge Estates?
This requires careful due diligence. Individual public records for homes on Cambridge Road have recorded ‘No’ for homeowner association status, and no HOA fees appear in recent sales data. However, historic community records reference covenants, restrictions, architectural review processes, and annual dues associated with the Cambridge Estates name. A title search and review of any recorded deed restrictions on the specific property you are purchasing is the only reliable way to confirm what obligations, if any, run with a given lot.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Hoa Name — HOA status is genuinely conflicted. Individual public records for homes on Cambridge Road list ‘Homeowners Assoc: No.’ The public records-derived input also shows ‘None found.’ However, historic records reference covenants, architectural review, and dues for a ‘Cambridge Estates’ community. A ‘Cambridge Estates Homeowners Association, Inc.’ exists in Elim Services’ Florida-based management portfolio — it cannot be confirmed as the Brookhaven, PA entity. Buyers must conduct a title search to determine whether any recorded covenants or restrictions run with a specific lot.
- Approx Homes — No verifiable home count for the Cambridge Estates subdivision was found in any named source. The LivingPlaces entry and public sales data do not state a unit count.
- Builder — No single builder has been identified in any source. Brookhaven Borough’s post-war growth pattern suggests organic development by multiple builders through the 1950s-1960s rather than a master developer.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Neighborhoods.com cites 1,434–2,988 sq ft; individual public records show 1,440–1,864 sq ft for homes that have sold. The upper bound of 2,988 may reflect finished lower levels or additions and has not been independently verified against a recorded public records listing.
- Lot Character Text — The 80×135-foot lot dimension comes from a single public records record (708 Cambridge Rd). LivingPlaces describes lots as 1/4 to 1/2 acre broadly. Lot sizes may vary within the subdivision.
