About
Lochiel Farm is a Lennar-built master-planned townhome community in West Whiteland Township, Chester County, constructed beginning in 2021 on approximately 32 acres that were formerly part of a historic agricultural estate listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The community includes 142 townhomes and carriage homes, managed by Camco Management Company, and sits directly adjacent to the 727-acre Exton Park with on-site walking path access to the 18.6-mile Chester Valley Trail—a paved, rail-to-trail conversion. Students attend Exton Elementary School, Fugett Middle School, and East High School within the West Chester Area School District.

Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Lochiel Farm’s all-time resale appreciation has trailed the West Chester Area School District average by a wide margin—a pattern consistent with new-construction communities where initial buyer premiums compress early resale gains. Buyers entering this community should weigh the post-2021 construction quality and HOA-maintained common areas against a resale track record that, to date, reflects the structural ceiling of a recently delivered product.

Worth Asking
Have you considered what happens to resale values in a Lennar community once the builder closes out and stops subsidizing buyer incentives—and whether the HOA fee structure, currently managed by Camco Management Company, has reserve funding adequate for the first major capital replacement cycle on a 2021-built common-area infrastructure?

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 — West Whiteland Township public records (Oct 2024) list 142 townhomes for the Lochiel Farms Townhouses HOA. Grokipedia and Bentley Homes approval documents reference 140 townhomes (the original conditional use approval count). The two-unit discrepancy likely reflects the adaptive reuse of two historic single-family homes counted separately, or a minor administrative variance. The 142 figure from the township’s own HOA registry is treated as authoritative.
- Hoa Fee — The $155/month figure is sourced from a single public records listing (255 Red Leaf Lane, 2024). HOA fees can change annually with budget adoption. Buyers must request the current HOA budget and fee schedule from Camco Management Company before closing.
- Lot Character Text — Individual Lot Sizes — Public sales data shows lot size listed as 0 acres for end-unit and interior townhomes, consistent with fee-simple townhome ownership where exterior maintenance is HOA-managed. No verified per-unit lot dimensions were found.
- Builder — Carriage Home Product — The Grokipedia entry attributes both the townhomes and the initial conditional use approval to Bentley Homes (2019), with Lennar entering in late 2020. It is possible Lennar acquired the project from Bentley Homes. The Lennar press release (Dec 2020) and all public sales data confirm Lennar as the builder of record for all units sold to date. Bentley Homes’ role, if any, in completed construction is unverified.
School District
Lochiel Farm is served by the West Chester Area School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
