About
Highlands at Millview is a 190-home detached single-family subdivision in Chester County’s only city, built by Chetty Builders beginning in the late 1990s on 100-plus acres at the northwest corner of Coatesville’s city limits. Homes are Colonial in style, constructed circa 2000–2003, with three to four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, attached garages, and lot sizes near 0.2 acres. The community operates under an active homeowners association — with its own governing website at highlandsatmillview.org, where bylaws are published in searchable text — and HOA fees released for this community at roughly $11 per month, with a $250 capital-contribution fee collected at settlement.
Specifications
Home Stock
Colonial-style detached single-family homes built primarily around 2000–2003. Typical configuration is three to four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, with forced-air gas heat, central air, vinyl or aluminum exterior, and an unfinished or partially finished walkout basement. Hardwood flooring and gas fireplaces appear frequently in listing records. Decks off the kitchen/family room are a recurring feature.
Location & Access
The subdivision sits within the City of Coatesville, Chester County. Route 30 (the Lincoln Highway/US-30 Business) serves as the primary east-west corridor, connecting Coatesville to Downingtown (roughly 8 miles east) and Lancaster (roughly 30 miles west). Route 82 intersects the Lincoln Highway within the city. The Coatesville Amtrak station on the Keystone Corridor provides rail access; SEPTA’s Paoli/Thorndale Line terminus at Thorndale is approximately 3 miles east.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Chetty Builders’ total investment across the Highlands at Millview homes and the adjacent Millview Apartments exceeded $55 million, making this subdivision the anchor of a deliberate mixed-use development strategy on the northwest edge of the city — a context buyers should understand when evaluating long-run neighborhood trajectory. The Coatesville Area School District serves the subdivision; buyers with school-age children should verify the specific elementary feeder school directly with the district, as the public sales data did not confirm a single most-common elementary assignment.

Worth Asking

Common Questions
Who built Highlands at Millview, and when was it developed?
Highlands at Millview was developed by Chetty Builders, a Kennett Square, PA-based residential builder that began acquiring land in Coatesville in the mid-1990s. The 190 detached single-family homes were constructed primarily around 2000–2003 and, according to a 2010 Main Line Today profile, sold out within three years of initial offering.
What does the HOA cover at Highlands at Millview?
Public records confirm an active HOA with monthly fees documented at approximately $11 per month, plus a $250 capital-contribution fee due at settlement. HOA fees are listed as covering common-area maintenance. The community maintains its own governing website (highlandsatmillview.org) where bylaws are published. Buyers should review the full declaration and bylaws before settlement to confirm the precise scope of maintenance obligations — common areas vs. individual lot responsibilities.
Which schools serve Highlands at Millview?
The subdivision is served by the Coatesville Area School District (CASD). The district operates five elementary schools (Caln, East Fallowfield, King’s Highway, Rainbow, and Reeceville), a 6th Grade Center (Scott), North Brandywine Middle School (7th grade), Coatesville Area Intermediate High School (8th–9th), and Coatesville Area Senior High School (10th–12th). The specific elementary school assigned to Highlands at Millview was not confirmed in available public records or district data; buyers should contact CASD directly to verify current feeder-school boundaries, which can change.
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 — The community website (highlandsatmillview.org) confirms an active HOA with published bylaws, but the formal legal name of the association as filed with Chester County is not confirmed from available sources. ‘Highlands at Millview Homeowners Association’ is the working name inferred from the website domain and public records subdivision label.
- Most Common Elementary — Public sales data did not identify a single most-common elementary feeder. The Coatesville Area School District serves multiple elementary schools in the 19320 ZIP; the specific feeder for Highlands at Millview lots (which are within Coatesville city limits per parcel records) was not confirmed. Buyers must verify directly with CASD.
- Hoa Fee Consistency — Most public records show $11/month HOA fee, but one 2025/2026-era listing (100 Marquis Dr, Metro DMV Realty) shows $190 HOA. This discrepancy may reflect a fee increase, a different phase, or a data error. The $11/month figure is the most frequently documented. Recommend confirming current HOA fee with the association directly before publication.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — The 1,563–2,114 sq ft range is drawn from neighborhoods.com aggregated data and individual public records. No single authoritative source (e.g., Chester County recorder or builder records) was available to confirm the full range across all 190 homes.
- Lot Character Text — Lot sizes of approximately 0.2 acres (roughly 6,352–8,700 sq ft) are based on individual public records. Not all 190 lots were individually verified.
- Community Park — One Coldwell Banker listing (133 Millview Dr) references ‘access to a community park,’ but no independent source confirmed the park’s name, acreage, or specific amenities. Could not verify whether the park is HOA-owned or a city/township facility.
