Worth Asking
Have you considered that Charlestown Township is served exclusively by Pennsylvania State Police (Zone 18, Troop J, Embreville Barracks) rather than a municipal police department — and that the stated maximum response time is 15–20 minutes — when evaluating this community against others in Chester County that maintain their own police forces?
Common Questions
What school does a child in Hollow Run Farm attend for elementary school?
Hollow Run Farm is zoned to Charlestown Elementary School, located at 2060 Charlestown Road, Malvern, PA 19355, within the Great Valley School District. The district serves Charlestown Township, East Whiteland Township, Willistown Township, and Malvern Borough at the K–12 level. School boundary assignments can change; buyers should confirm directly with the Great Valley School District before relying on any specific attendance zone.
Does Hollow Run Farm have a homeowners association?
Yes. Charlestown Township Planning Commission minutes from September 2020 reference the ‘Hollow Run Farm HOA’ and its open space plan, confirming an HOA exists with recorded common area obligations. The Cyr Team recommends requesting the current HOA declaration, bylaws, meeting minutes, and resale certificate as part of any offer due diligence. HOA fee amounts and management contact information are not publicly documented in verified sources at this time.
How is Hollow Run Farm positioned relative to the Pennsylvania Turnpike widening project?
The PA Turnpike Commission is planning to widen a section of I-76 through Charlestown Township from two to three lanes, targeting a 2027 opening. Hollow Run Farm sits in Charlestown Township along the Route 29 corridor, which provides the township’s primary interchange with the Turnpike. Buyers should review the project scope and construction timeline with the PA Turnpike Commission to assess any noise, traffic, or access impacts during and after construction.
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 verified home count for Hollow Run Farm was found in any named source. LivingPlaces.com does not publish a unit count for this subdivision. Left null to avoid fabrication.
- Builder — No builder name for Hollow Run Farm is documented in any verified source. The subdivision appears to have been organically developed or by an unidentified builder circa 1982–1985. Left null.
- Hoa Name — Fee And Management Contact — While the HOA name ‘Hollow Run Farm HOA’ is confirmed by Charlestown Township Planning Commission minutes, no verified source documents the current HOA fee amount, management company, or contact information.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Upper Bound — LivingPlaces.com cites 3,000 sq ft as the typical size; Movoto listing for 69 Dickson Drive shows 2,696 sq ft. The range likely reflects variation by home and by whether finished basement area is included. A true verified range cannot be established from two data points.
- Mls Data Depth — Only 1 settlement is available in the 33-year appreciation index and 1 in the last 180 days — both the same transaction. Appreciation pattern and performance vs. district cannot be computed. The page is written without numeric price or DOM per evergreen rules, but the data limitation means structural market claims are constrained.
- Elementary School Boundary — Change Risk — Great Valley School District conducted an Elementary Attendance Boundaries realignment (CAC process noted on gvsd.org/Page/15616). The current boundary assignment to Charlestown Elementary should be confirmed directly with the district before publication, as boundaries may have shifted.
