About
Oakcrest is a detached single-family subdivision in Valley Township, Chester County, platted for 169 lots and built out primarily between 2006 and 2016. The initial builder constructed roughly 40 homes before the remaining lots transferred to new ownership through a bank REO transaction; Envision Land Use was subsequently retained to market the remaining paved lots, resulting in a community built by multiple contractors over a roughly ten-year span. Homes are two-story colonials typically offering four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, attached two-car garages, and full basements on quarter-acre lots served by public water and sewer, with interior square footage ranging from approximately 1,500 to more than 4,000 sq ft. The community sits within Valley Township, places elementary-age children at King’s Highway Elementary — a K–5 school within the Coatesville Area School District located at 841 W. Kings Hwy — and connects residents to U.S. Route 30 and PA Route 82 for regional access.

Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Oakcrest’s subdivision history — a 169-lot plan that passed through a bank REO before full build-out — means homes were constructed by more than one builder across a decade-long window (circa 2006–2016), so construction quality, finishes, and remaining warranty coverage can vary meaningfully from home to home and should be independently verified before purchase.

Worth Asking
Have you considered that because Oakcrest’s lots transferred through a bank REO mid-development, the original builder’s warranty and construction documentation may not follow the home — and asked specifically which builder constructed the home you are evaluating?

Oakcrest is located in Valley Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The subdivision is governed by Oakcrest Homeowners Association Inc, which is managed by Associated Asset Management. The community manager can be reached directly through the association’s contact page at oakcresthoa.org.

King’s Highway is the highest-performing elementary school within the Coatesville Area School District on state standardized assessments, though its scores remain below Pennsylvania’s statewide average. Buyers with school-age children should confirm current boundary assignments directly with the district before closing.
How large is the Oakcrest subdivision, and what does a typical home look like?
The subdivision was originally platted for 169 lots, and LivingPlaces.com estimates approximately 100 detached single-family homes were built, primarily between 2006 and 2016. Typical homes are two-story colonials with three to four bedrooms, ranging from roughly 1,500 to more than 4,000 square feet, on lots of approximately one-quarter acre. Most homes include attached two-car garages and full basements. Because build-out spanned multiple contractors following a mid-development ownership change, square footage, finishes, and floor plans vary across the community.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Builder — The Envision Land Use portfolio page confirms the initial builder constructed approximately 40 homes before the REO transfer, but does not name the builder. No named builder has been verified from any source. Ryan Homes appears associated with an archived NewHomeSource listing for ‘Oakcrest in Coatesville, PA’ (community-55288) but the page content was not accessible to confirm this refers to the same Valley Township subdivision rather than a different community; left null pending Cyr Team verification.
- Hoa Name — The HOA portal at oakcresthoa.org uses the name ‘Oakcrest Homeowners Association Inc’ in its resource center URL structure and community contacts page. The domain oakcresthoa.org resolves to an Indiana-based Oakcrest HOA at its root URL, but the sub-page paths (e.g., /resourcecenter/48124/) and the Associated Asset Management email domain are consistent with the Valley Township, PA community. Cyr Team should confirm the legal HOA entity name via Chester County recorder or HOA documents before publishing.
- Approx Homes — LivingPlaces.com estimates approximately 100 detached homes; the Envision Land Use page references 169 total lots with 40 built by the initial builder and 65 remaining paved lots available at the time of the REO sale. The final total built-out count is not confirmed from a primary source; 100 is used as the LivingPlaces estimate with tier ‘estimated’.
- Hoa Fee Amount — No verified HOA fee amount for the Valley Township Oakcrest was found. The oakcrestestateshoa.com figures ($1,824/year) are for a different ‘Oak Crest Estates’ community unrelated to this subdivision and were excluded.
