Quick Facts — Knolls of Birmingham

Square footage, bedroom/bath count, and lot size differ significantly between townhomes, twins, and single-family
homes. Always confirm details for a specific property using current listing data and public records.

Homes & Floor Plans

Knolls of Birmingham offers several product types. Townhomes and twins typically range from about 2,000 to just under
3,000 square feet, with 2 to 4 bedrooms and 2.5 to 3 or more baths, attached garages, and many with finished
basements. These homes often feature open main levels with combined kitchen, dining, and family spaces, plus decks or
patios that look out over landscaped common areas or tree lines.

Single-family homes in the community can extend to 4,000+ square feet above grade, commonly with 4 bedrooms, 2.5
baths, and 2-car garages. Floor plans frequently include two-story foyers, separate living and dining rooms, larger
kitchens with islands or breakfast areas, and family rooms with fireplaces. Many homes have walkout or daylight
basements offering additional finished space for media rooms, home offices, or hobby areas.

When evaluating homes here, consider the product type (townhome vs. twin vs. single), total square footage, basement
finish, outdoor living upgrades, and location within the community—especially cul-de-sac settings and lots that
back to trees or preserved open space.

HOA, Amenities & Neighborhood Lifestyle

Knolls of Birmingham is governed by homeowners associations that manage common areas, exterior elements for attached
homes, and use of the community amenities. Published quick facts note that monthly dues typically cover common-area
maintenance, exterior maintenance for many townhome and twin buildings, lawn care, snow removal, and trash service,
along with access to shared amenities. Exact dues and coverage can vary by home type and change over time, so buyers
should review the most recent HOA and resale documents for specifics.

Community features include a swimming pool, tennis courts, walking/jogging trails, and a community center/clubhouse
located along Knolls Road. Many homes enjoy views of mature trees and open lawns, and the internal street network
creates several cul-de-sacs with limited through-traffic. The combination of amenities and open space gives the
neighborhood a planned-community feel, while still being close to major roads and services.

Any rules on architectural changes, leasing, or use of the amenities are set out in the HOA governing documents, so
it is important for both buyers and sellers to review those carefully as part of their due diligence.

and West Chester–area communities.

When comparing neighborhoods, buyers often consider Knolls of Birmingham alongside other planned communities in
Birmingham and Pennsbury Townships and southern West Chester, looking at age of construction, HOA structure, and
amenity access.

School District & Taxes

Knolls of Birmingham is in the Unionville–Chadds Ford School District, and listings commonly
reference Chadds Ford-area elementary schools along with Unionville middle and high schools. Because attendance
zones can change over time and may vary within the neighborhood, anyone making decisions based on schools should
verify current assignments directly with the district for the specific property address they are considering.

Property taxes are based on the assessed value of each home and the current tax rates for Chester County, Birmingham
Township, and Unionville–Chadds Ford School District. For planning purposes, your lender, tax professional,
or local tax office can provide up-to-date estimates tailored to your budget and timeline.

Market Snapshot & Next Steps

Market activity in Knolls of Birmingham can look different for townhomes, twins, and single-family homes, and there
may only be a small number of listings in each category at any given time. That means neighborhood-level averages
can shift quickly and may not accurately represent the value of a particular home, especially when comparing
attached units to larger detached homes.

A solid pricing and strategy discussion should focus on recent comparable sales within the same product type and the
same community or nearby Birmingham Township neighborhoods, adjusting for square footage, lot position (including
cul-de-sac and tree-line or open-space views), finished basement space, and the level of interior and exterior
updating. Online data is useful as a starting point but can become outdated quickly as new properties list and
others go under contract.
