About
Downingtown Commons is a 64-unit, three-story brick condominium complex at 335 East Lancaster Avenue in Downingtown Borough, built in 1965. The property sits directly across Lancaster Avenue from Kerr Park, placing residents within walking distance of the Struble Trail — a 2.6-mile paved rail-trail managed by Chester County Parks along the East Branch of the Brandywine Creek — as well as the Downingtown Amtrak/SEPTA station, which provides rail service to Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station in approximately 39 minutes. The condominium association fee covers heat, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, lawn maintenance, exterior building maintenance, and use of an on-site pool, making out-of-pocket utility exposure limited primarily to electricity and cable.

What Makes This Distinct
With 64 units built in 1965, Downingtown Commons is among the older condominium communities in Chester County; buyers should request reserve fund disclosures, a current budget, and any pending special assessment information from the association before making an offer, because Pennsylvania does not require condominium associations to maintain reserve accounts.
