About
Locust Knolls is a residential subdivision in East Brandywine Township, Chester County, where detached single-family homes on approximately 1-acre lots were built circa 1974–1975 along Locust Knoll Road and a cluster of patriotically named side streets — Constitution Drive, Independence Lane, and Tradition Lane. The community carries no homeowners association and no HOA dues, a condition confirmed by fee-simple deed structure and zero-dollar HOA disclosures across multiple public records. Homes feed into the Downingtown Area School District, with Beaver Creek Elementary serving the neighborhood and Downingtown High School West as the assigned secondary school.
