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 — Two sources give slightly different counts: malvernarearealestate.com lists 334 units; pencomanagement.com lists 335 units of residency. Both are consistent at ~334–335. Neither is a primary HOA document; the figure is marked ‘estimated.’
- Hoa Fee Current — HOA monthly fees cited in public records range from $78–$79/month but are drawn from listings dated 2019–2024; current fee should be verified directly with PENCO Management before publishing.
- Entity Type Mls Vs Actual — Public records community type is listed as ‘townhome,’ but Charlestown Hunt is a mixed-product community including condos, townhomes, and detached single-family homes. The 180-day public records settlements skew toward attached product, which may explain the public records classification. The subdivision label is correct; the ‘townhome’ community type in public records is a simplification.
- Hoa Name Formal — Court records and PENCO’s website both confirm ‘Charlestown Hunt Community Association’ as the HOA’s legal name. The Yelp and Redfin listings refer to a ‘Charlestown Hunt Recreation Center’ at 101–141 Charlestown Hunt Drive. No separate condominium association bylaws were located; buyers in the condo product should request governing documents from PENCO.
