About
Green Ridge is a mid-century residential neighborhood in Aston Township, Delaware County, composed entirely of detached single-family homes built primarily in the 1940s and 1950s—a development pattern consistent with post-World War II suburban expansion documented across the area. The neighborhood is accessed from East Dutton Mill Road via Rosalie Lane, with interior streets including Bunting Lane, Florence Avenue, and Ridge Road. The Church of St. Joseph at Green Ridge was formally founded on July 2, 1947, placing the neighborhood’s formation squarely in the immediate postwar period; the congregation initially held services in a Grange Hall until their first church was built in 1949. Within Aston Township, residents are approximately one mile from IceWorks Skating Complex at 3100 Dutton Mill Road—a four-rink facility that has hosted U.S. regional and Olympic-qualifying figure skating competitions and supports over 180 hockey teams.

When were the homes in Green Ridge built, and what style are they?
Homes in Green Ridge were built primarily in the 1940s and 1950s, consistent with the post-World War II suburban development wave that shaped much of southern Delaware County. The housing stock is entirely detached single-family homes. Individual examples on record include Cape Cod-style houses of roughly 1,100–1,700 square feet on lots of approximately 0.11 acres, though lot sizes across the neighborhood range from about one-tenth to one-half acre. Because these are older homes, buyers should budget for updated systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) and commission a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
Is there an HOA in Green Ridge, Aston, PA?
No homeowners association has been verified for Green Ridge through public records, the Aston Township website, or public sales data reviewed by The Cyr Team. The public records structural data carries no HOA flag for this neighborhood. However, individual deed restrictions from the original development era could still apply to specific parcels. A title search and review of recorded covenants is advisable before purchase to confirm whether any private deed restrictions govern the property.
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 — No authoritative source confirmed a specific home count for the Green Ridge subdivision as a discrete unit. The legacy hint of 75 homes cannot be verified or refuted with available sources. LivingPlaces lists approximately 9 named interior streets but does not quantify total units.
- Hoa Name — No HOA was found for Green Ridge in Aston, PA through public records, Aston Township website, or public sales data. The greenridgehoa.org domain resolved to a gated community in Arizona (Waste Management contact with 520 area code). The public records structural data carries no HOA flag. No HOA is believed to exist, but individual deed covenants from the 1940s–1950s platting era cannot be ruled out without a title search.
- Builder — No single builder identified. Post-WWII organic development across multiple parcels and years is the documented pattern for this area; no builder name surfaced in any searched source.
- Nearby Roads Text (Valley Road) — The legacy hint lists ‘Valley Road’ as a nearby road, but this street name does not appear in any verified source for Green Ridge. LivingPlaces lists the internal streets by name without mentioning Valley Road. Could not confirm or refute; omitted from content to avoid propagating unverified data.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — No authoritative square footage range for the neighborhood as a whole was found. The range cited (700–1,700 sq ft) is derived from two specific public records listing records (94 Mildred Lane at 700 sq ft and 47 Bunting Lane at 1,700 sq ft) and should be treated as illustrative, not definitive.
- Flood Zone Status — Parcel-specific FEMA flood zone data for Green Ridge streets was not retrieved. Aston Township has documented flood history along Chester Creek tributaries. Buyers should run individual addresses through the FEMA Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) before purchase.
