Kennett Pointe & Townes at Kennett Pointe
About
Kennett Pointe is a master-planned, mixed-use development sited on 13 acres at the corner of East Cypress Street and Ways Lane in Kennett Township, Chester County — a location chosen through a formal 2016 Kennett Region Economic Development Study that identified the corridor as a catalyst site for new residential and commercial investment. The residential component, the Townes at Kennett Pointe, consists of exactly 53 fee-simple townhomes built by Montchanin Builders (in partnership with The Commonwealth Group) beginning in the early 2020s; the broader development also includes the Lofts at Kennett Pointe rental apartments above a 41,000-square-foot mixed-use building and the ground-floor Shoppes at Kennett Pointe, whose tenants have included a creamery, art and clay studios, fitness and wellness providers, physical therapy offices, and an indoor golf simulator club. The development was originally submitted to Kennett Township in August 2018 under the name ‘Kennett Gateway’ before receiving approval and being rebranded; the site also incorporates a restored 1923 Italian American Club building repurposed as a pottery and clay studio.

Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
HOA fees were reported at $170 per month in public records for 2023 closings, with disclosed coverage including common-area maintenance, front and rear lawn care, snow removal, and trash — a fee structure consistent with a builder-controlled declarant HOA that has not yet transitioned to homeowner control, which buyers in a still-selling community should verify and monitor.
Worth Asking
Have you considered that because Kennett Pointe was still in active sell-down as of early 2026, the HOA remains under declarant (builder) control — meaning the board, budget, and fee structure have not yet been voted on by homeowners — and that the transition timeline and reserve-funding posture are facts worth requesting in writing before you close?
Common Questions
What school does a child living in the Townes at Kennett Pointe attend?
The community is located in Kennett Township, which is served by the Kennett Consolidated School District (KCSD). KCSD operates three elementary schools — Bancroft, Greenwood, and New Garden — and the specific assignment for a Kennett Pointe address should be confirmed directly with KCSD, as attendance zone boundaries can change. The district also includes Kennett Middle School and Kennett High School.
What does the HOA fee cover at the Townes at Kennett Pointe, and how much is it?
Public records from 2023 closings disclosed a monthly HOA fee of $170, with coverage listed as common-area maintenance, front lawn care, rear lawn care, lawn maintenance, snow removal, and trash. Because the community was still in active new-construction sell-down as of early 2026, the HOA may still be under builder/declarant control. Buyers should request and review the current Declaration, budget, reserve study, and any transition documents before closing.
How does the mixed-use format of Kennett Pointe affect what a townhome buyer owns and is responsible for?
The Townes at Kennett Pointe are fee-simple townhomes — buyers own their unit and lot — but the broader Kennett Pointe site also includes rental apartments (Lofts at Kennett Pointe) and ground-floor commercial tenants (Shoppes at Kennett Pointe) that are not part of the for-sale residential HOA. A buyer acquires the townhome, not a stake in the commercial or rental components. The shared streetscape, plaza, and walkways create a village-style environment, but the legal boundaries between the residential HOA’s obligations and the broader mixed-use property should be reviewed carefully in the governing documents.
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 — No formal legal name for the townhome HOA (e.g., ‘Townes at Kennett Pointe Homeowners Association’) was found in any public records record, county filing, or builder document reviewed. The HOA name should be confirmed from the recorded Declaration or association management documents.
- Hoa Name — No third-party HOA management company name was found in any source; the HOA may still be under declarant (builder) control as of early 2026 given the active sell-down status.
- Most Common Elementary — Public sales data provided no elementary school flag. Kennett Township addresses are served by KCSD, which has three elementary schools (Bancroft, Greenwood, New Garden). The specific boundary assignment for Ways Lane / Pointe Place addresses was not confirmed in any source reviewed; must be verified with KCSD.
- Appreciation Range Text — The 33-year appreciation index returned no pattern for this community because the sales count used was 1 — insufficient for any statistical appreciation pattern. Community is too new (early 2020s) to have a meaningful long-run appreciation history.
- Interior Sqft Range Text (Upper Bound) — Base floor plans run 1,876–2,285 sq ft per builder and press sources. The Cyr Team’s own existing page notes ~1,875–2,600+ sq ft when optional basement finish is included, but no single source confirms the exact upper bound with the basement option. The wider range is a reasonable inference from optional features listed in floor-plan documents.
