About
Park Place is a 1991-era attached townhome community in Upper Providence Township, Delaware County, sited directly across North Providence Road from Rose Tree Park — a 118-acre Delaware County park that hosts a free nine-week summer concert series in its outdoor amphitheater and an annual Festival of Lights each December. The community falls within the Rose Tree Media School District, whose elementary-age students in Upper Providence Township attend either Rose Tree Elementary or Media Elementary (K–5) depending on address, with all students advancing to Springton Lake Middle School and Penncrest High School. Ridley Creek State Park, a 2,606-acre state park with 12 miles of hiking trails, a paved multi-use trail, and trout fishing, is located within the same township, approximately 5 miles north of Media.
Specifications
Home Stock
Park Place consists of attached townhomes built in 1991, arranged in multi-unit rows with colonial detailing. Typical configurations include 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across multiple floors, with an attached one-car garage, a private rear deck, and a finished or partially finished lower level. Some end-unit configurations include 3 full bathrooms and larger floor plans. The HOA is responsible for roofs, gutters, downspouts, exterior wood trim, garage doors, and painting and staining of all exterior front doors. Buyers should verify bedroom and bathroom counts, garage configuration, and HOA scope directly with the listing agent and association documents.
Location & Access

What Makes This Distinct
The HOA governing documents on file with multiple public records specify that the association carries responsibility for roofs, gutters, downspouts, exterior wood trim, garage doors, front door finishes, common open space, retention basins, walkways, driveways, and snow removal — a broader exterior envelope than many Delaware County townhome associations. Buyers should obtain and review the current HOA budget, reserve study, and declaration before submitting an offer, as the scope of covered items directly affects both monthly dues and long-term capital exposure.

Worth Asking
Have you considered what it means for your monthly cost basis that the Park Place HOA covers the roof, gutters, garage doors, and exterior wood trim — and then asked what the association’s current reserve fund balance is relative to the age of those components, given that the buildings were constructed in 1991?
Common Questions
What school district serves Park Place, and which schools would my children attend?
Park Place is within the Rose Tree Media School District. Elementary-age students in Upper Providence Township attend either Rose Tree Elementary or Media Elementary (grades K–5) depending on their specific address; all students then advance to Springton Lake Middle School (grades 6–8) and Penncrest High School (grades 9–12). Because elementary boundaries can change, buyers should verify the assignment for their specific unit directly with the Rose Tree Media School District registration office at 610-627-6019 before relying on any boundary map.
What does the Park Place HOA cover, and what are owners responsible for maintaining themselves?
Per public records for multiple Park Place units, the association’s documented scope includes roofs, gutters, downspouts, exterior wood trim on windows, cross boards above garages, garage doors, painting and staining of all exterior front doors including garage access doors, common open space and common lawn areas, retention basins and drainage rights-of-way, walkways and driveways including snow removal, community sewer lines and pumping stations, and removal of dead trees and shrubs from lots and shrubs in front of units. Interior maintenance, interior finishes, and individual unit systems are generally the owner’s responsibility, but the exact boundary varies by unit type. Buyers must obtain the current declaration, bylaws, rules and regulations, current budget, and reserve study to verify current dues, coverage, and financial health before closing.
What recreational resources are within walking or biking distance of Park Place?
Rose Tree Park, a 118-acre Delaware County park at 1671 N. Providence Road directly across the street, offers woodland trails, a playground, a gazebo, a community garden program with over 100 leasable plots, and a free outdoor summer concert series that runs nine weeks annually. Ridley Creek State Park, approximately 5 miles north of Media in the same township, encompasses 2,606 acres with 12 miles of hiking trails, a 5-mile paved multi-use trail, and trout stocked fishing.

SEPTA bus routes 110 and 118 and the Media/Wawa Regional Rail station provide public transit access.
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 home count for Park Place (Upper Providence Township, Delaware County) found in any named source. Public records sales data and listing records confirm the community exists but do not enumerate total units. Do not publish a count without a verified plat or HOA document.
- Builder — No single builder identified in any public records listing, township record, or named source for Park Place at 19063. Cannot verify builder without a subdivision plan or permit record.
- Hoa Name — Multiple public records confirm an HOA exists and document its scope, but no formal legal HOA entity name (e.g., ‘Park Place at Upper Providence Condominium Association’) was found in any accessible named source. The HOA fee has appeared as both $220 and $240/month across different listing years; buyers must verify current dues directly with the association or management company.
- Elementary School Assignment — Wikipedia confirms Upper Providence Township students attend either Rose Tree Elementary or Media Elementary depending on address within the township. The RTMSD boundary list is street-level and the specific Park Place street assignment was not confirmed in a publicly accessible named source. Buyers must contact RTMSD registration at 610-627-6019 to confirm.
- Most Common Elementary (Structural Input Field) — The public records structural data input lists ‘Schwenksville’ as the most common elementary school. Schwenksville Elementary School is located in Montgomery County and is part of the Perkiomen Valley School District — not Rose Tree Media School District. This field contains a data error; see supersedes. The correct answer for this ZIP/township is either Rose Tree Elementary or Media Elementary (RTMSD), to be confirmed by RTMSD for the specific address.
- Community Sewer Note — Several public records include ‘community sewer lines and pumping stations, if any’ in the HOA scope language. It is not confirmed whether a pumping station is present on the property. Buyers should verify with the HOA and Upper Providence Township.
