About
Hunters Run is a townhouse community in Newtown Township, Delaware County, built between approximately 1984 and 1986 along Bishop Hollow Road just off West Chester Pike. The HOA covers exterior building maintenance, lawn care on all sides, snow removal, trash, water, sewer, and road and driveway upkeep — buyers assume no individual lot maintenance responsibility. The community sits roughly five minutes from Ridley Creek State Park’s 2,606-acre trail network and within about one mile of the Ellis Preserve mixed-use development, which is anchored by a Whole Foods Market at 3737 West Chester Pike.

What Makes This Distinct
Hunters Run trades a below-district appreciation trajectory for a fully managed exterior envelope: the monthly HOA fee covers structural maintenance items — roof, siding, exterior building — that would otherwise fall to individual owners in a detached-home purchase at a comparable price point.

Worth Asking
Have you considered what the all-in monthly cost looks like once you add HOA fees to your mortgage payment, and whether the exterior-maintenance coverage the HOA provides changes how you should compare this community against detached homes priced similarly in the Marple Newtown district?
Common Questions
What does the Hunters Run HOA cover, and how does that affect ownership costs?
Public records confirm the HOA fee covers common area maintenance, exterior building maintenance, lawn care (front, rear, and sides), snow removal from driveways and roads, trash, water, and sewer. That scope means owners are not independently responsible for landscaping, exterior structural repairs, or driveway maintenance — costs that accumulate over time in detached-home ownership. Buyers should request the current fee schedule, reserve fund balance, and any pending special assessments before making an offer.
Which schools serve Hunters Run, and what is the Marple Newtown School District’s academic profile?
Multiple public records for Hunters Run addresses assign students to Culbertson Elementary School, Paxon Hollow Middle School, and Marple Newtown Senior High School — all within the Marple Newtown School District (MNSD). MNSD serves Newtown Township and Marple Township across six schools. U.S. News data show 76% of elementary students tested at or above proficient in reading and 66% in math district-wide. School boundary assignments can change; buyers should confirm current attendance zones directly with MNSD before closing.
How does Hunters Run’s location affect commute options and everyday access?
The community is accessed via Bishop Hollow Road, which intersects West Chester Pike (PA-3) at a signalized junction. I-476 (the Blue Route) reaches Center City Philadelphia, Philadelphia International Airport, and King of Prussia via the West Chester Pike interchange (Exit 9) approximately two miles east. West Chester Pike carries direct bus service (SEPTA Route 104) along the corridor. The Ellis Preserve development on West Chester Pike provides grocery, dining, and retail within about one mile of the community entrance.
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 of 53 homes conflicts with Ownerly’s count of 75 properties on Hunters Run. The higher count may include the ‘Estates at Hunters Run’ addresses (e.g., 118 Hunters Run, which is described as a single-family home in a distinct sub-section). No authoritative recorded plat count was found. Left null pending a title/recorder search or HOA document review.
- Hoa Name — No formal HOA corporate name was found in search results. HOA existence is confirmed by public records citing monthly fees and covered services, but the legal entity name (e.g., ‘Hunters Run Homeowners Association’) was not verifiable from public sources searched.
- Builder — County assessor subdivision names reference ‘REID NEWTOWN CORP’ on some parcels (e.g., 41 Hunters Run, 86 Hunters Run), which may indicate Reid Newtown Corporation as a developer or recorded plat holder, but no independent source confirmed this entity as the builder. Left null to avoid misattribution.
- Seo Focus Keyphrase — Elementary School Assignment — The structural data input lists ‘Sugartown’ as the most common elementary. Sugartown Elementary is a Great Valley School District school in Malvern, PA — it is not a Marple Newtown SD school. Multiple public records for Hunters Run addresses consistently show Culbertson Elementary (MNSD). The Sugartown designation in the input data appears to be an error. Buyers must confirm current school assignments with MNSD directly, as boundary lines can change.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Upper Bound — 96 Hunters Run (sold 2022) is described as the largest townhouse in the community at over 3,000 sq ft. 118 Hunters Run is described as ‘Estates at Hunters Run’ — a possible distinct sub-phase with a single-family home at 3,259 sq ft. Whether ‘Estates at Hunters Run’ is the same HOA as the main townhouse community was not confirmed.
- Hoa Fee Current — HOA fees appearing in public records range from $360 to $410/month across listings from 2018 through 2025. Fees are not static; buyers must obtain the current fee schedule from the HOA or property manager before making an offer.
