What Makes This Distinct
The Cyr Team’s 33-year appreciation index classifies Locksley Glen as a mid-range, limited-activity subdivision that has historically trailed the Oxford Area School District median by a meaningful margin — a structural signal that buyers in this price band have room to negotiate, while sellers should price with district-wide comparables firmly in view.

Common Questions
Who governs Locksley Glen, and is there an active HOA?
Yes. The Locksley Glen Homeowners Association operates under its own bylaws and declarations, maintains a dedicated website at lghoa.org, and collects annual dues (most recently $150 per home per year as of 2024). The HOA is self-managed by an elected board, reachable at locksleyglen@lghoa.org, and uses a formal rule-violation notification process.
Which schools do Locksley Glen children attend?
Locksley Glen falls within the Oxford Area School District. The district uses a grade-band structure: Jordan Bank Elementary (kindergarten), Elk Ridge Elementary (grades 1–2), Nottingham Elementary (grades 3–4), Hopewell Elementary (grades 5–6), Penn’s Grove School (grades 7–8), and Oxford Area High School (grades 9–12). School boundary assignments can change; buyers should confirm directly with the district at oxfordasd.org.
What builder constructed Locksley Glen, and when were the homes built?
Locksley Glen was built by Dilsheimer Homes, a regional builder with more than 50 years of operation across Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Construction in the subdivision is documented circa 2001, and individual deed records on homes along Wedgewood Road and Yorklyn Road confirm year-built values of 1999–2000 for the earliest completed lots, consistent with a late-1990s land-development phase and 2001 build completion.
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 parcel count for Locksley Glen found in any named public record, county GIS source, or HOA document. Nextdoor cites 50 residents (not homes), which is insufficient to derive a home count. Left null per instructions.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — LivingPlaces reports a 1,800 sq ft median; neighborhoods.com reports a range of 1,876–2,626 sq ft; BEX Realty (older data, likely stale pricing) references up to 4,200 sq ft. The wide upper bound from BEX is not corroborated by other sources and may reflect outlier finished basements or data error. The range presented uses the two more authoritative sources.
- Hoa Name — HOA name confirmed as ‘Locksley Glen Homeowners Association’ via lghoa.org, but no management company or professional property manager identified — the HOA appears self-managed by a volunteer board.
- Builder — Builder confirmed as Dilsheimer Homes via LivingPlaces, which cites the builder by name. No primary deed or permit record independently verified, but Dilsheimer’s active website and regional presence are consistent with the attribution.
