About
Charlton Farms is a detached single-family subdivision in Penn Township, Chester County, sited along the Lewis Farm Drive corridor off North Jennersville Road (Route 796). Homes were built in the early 2000s on lots consistent with Penn Township’s R-1 minimum of one acre for on-lot-utility parcels, placing the subdivision squarely in the agricultural-residential character that defines this section of southern Chester County. Students attend Avon Grove School District, whose four-school structure — Penn London Elementary (K–1/2), Avon Grove Intermediate (grades 2–5), Avon Grove Middle School, and Avon Grove High School — serves Penn Township along with five other municipalities.

What Makes This Distinct
Penn Township’s zoning ordinance requires a minimum of one acre per single-family lot when on-lot utilities (well and septic) are used, which structurally limits density in Charlton Farms and keeps lot counts low relative to comparable subdivisions built on public sewer in Chester County.

Common Questions
What school district serves Charlton Farms, and which schools would my children attend?
Charlton Farms is in the Avon Grove School District (AGSD), which serves Penn Township and four neighboring municipalities across 67 square miles. The district operates four schools: Penn London Elementary School (kindergarten through grade 1 or 2, located on South Jennersville Road/Route 796 in West Grove), Avon Grove Intermediate School (grades 2–5, same campus), Avon Grove Middle School (grades 6–8), and Avon Grove High School (grades 9–12). Buyers should confirm current attendance boundaries directly with the district, as grade-span assignments have been adjusted in recent years.
What are typical lot sizes in Charlton Farms, and are there deed restrictions or an HOA?
Parcels within Charlton Farms are consistent with Penn Township’s R-1 zoning, which requires a minimum of one acre per single-family dwelling when the home relies on on-lot well and septic systems. Individual recorded lots have ranged from approximately one to just over two acres. No formal HOA name or management company has been publicly identified for Charlton Farms in available records; buyers should order a title search and request any recorded declaration of covenants from the Chester County Recorder of Deeds before assuming the community is or is not deed-restricted.
How does Charlton Farms’ long-run appreciation compare to the broader Avon Grove district?
The Cyr Team’s 33-year appreciation index, which tracks all recorded sales across the Avon Grove School District, classifies Charlton Farms as an ‘Exceptional’ performer — meaning homes in this subdivision have appreciated at a rate that exceeds the district average by a material margin over the full index period. The subdivision’s performance tier is ‘Mid-Range’ by price, meaning it is not the highest-priced community in the district but has delivered above-average percentage returns. Buyers should treat this as a long-run pattern, not a guarantee of future performance, and consult a fiduciary agent before making any pricing decision.
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 — Legacy hint suggested approximately 50 homes; no deed-plan, subdivision plat, or authoritative source was found to verify total lot count. The figure is not published. Left null per instructions.
- Builder — No single builder has been identified in public records, public records, or any named source. Individual homes show characteristics consistent with custom or semi-custom construction circa 2000–2002. Left null.
- Hoa Name — The legacy hint referenced livingplaces.com as an HOA source but that page contains no HOA name or management company. No HOA name appears in BrightMLS, Chester County recorder searches, or any management company roster found. HOA existence is unconfirmed; buyers must conduct independent due diligence.
- Cross Border Note — Not applicable — subdivision is entirely within Penn Township, Chester County.
- Most Common Elementary — Avon Grove School District has a single elementary facility (Penn London Elementary School) serving all Penn Township students at the K–1/2 level, but no published attendance boundary map was located to formally confirm this for Charlton Farms’ specific parcel addresses. Penn London is the only AGSD elementary, making it the de facto assignment, but should be verified with the district.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Square footage data is sourced from individual public records at specific addresses (208, 210, 217 Lewis Farm Drive and 90 Lewis Road), not from a comprehensive subdivision data set. Range of approximately 2,100–3,100 sq ft is directional, not exhaustive.
