About
Penns Grant is a detached single-family subdivision in Concord Township, Delaware County, divided into two sections: Penns Grant I, built primarily in the 1970s, and Penns Grant II, built primarily in the 1980s. The approximately 150 homes across both sections sit on lots averaging close to four-fifths of an acre, a lot size that distinguishes the neighborhood from higher-density subdivisions that came later in Concord Township’s growth cycle. Concord Township’s public sewer infrastructure has been extended into both sections, and Concord Township Ordinance No. 291 requires properties within 150 feet of a Township sewer line to connect — buyers should confirm each parcel’s connection status and any outstanding tap-in fees directly with the Concord Township Sewer Department before settlement.
Specifications
Home Stock
Two-story detached colonials are the predominant style, typically featuring four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a center-hall floor plan, full basements, and two-car attached garages. Penns Grant I homes date primarily to the 1970s; Penns Grant II homes were built primarily in the 1980s.
Location & Access
Primary access is from Concord Road (SR 3007) via Ivy Mills Road, John Hannum Circle, or Edward Jennings Road. U.S. Route 1 (Baltimore Pike), U.S. Route 202 (Wilmington–West Chester Pike), and U.S. Route 322 (Conchester Highway) all intersect near the western edge of Concord Township.

What Makes This Distinct
Penns Grant I carries no HOA obligation, while Penns Grant II has a small HOA with dues reported near $29/month — a structural difference that affects both carrying costs and deed-restriction exposure, and one that buyers and sellers should verify in current recorded documents before relying on any published figure.

Common Questions
Which schools serve Penns Grant?
Penns Grant is within the Garnet Valley School District, which serves Concord Township, Bethel Township, and Chester Heights Borough. The district was founded in 1959 and has ranked among the top 20 school districts in Pennsylvania on Niche’s annual analysis. Elementary school assignment within the district — Concord Elementary (114 Station Road, Glen Mills) or Garnet Valley Elementary (599 Smithbridge Road, Glen Mills) — depends on the specific street address. Buyers should confirm current attendance zone assignments directly with the Garnet Valley School District before relying on any third-party source, as attendance boundaries can change.
Does Penns Grant have an HOA, and what does it cover?
The two sections differ. Penns Grant I does not have a homeowners association. Penns Grant II has a small HOA; published listing data has cited dues near $29 per month. Neither section includes shared amenities such as a pool, clubhouse, or sports courts. Because HOA dues and governing documents can change, buyers should request current bylaws, the most recent budget, and any recorded deed restrictions directly from the seller’s settlement documents and from the Penns Grant II association itself — not from listing databases.
What parks and open space are accessible from Penns Grant?
Newlin Grist Mill, located at 219 Cheyney Road in Glen Mills (about two miles from the neighborhood), is a private non-profit historic site and nature preserve covering 160 acres with 8 miles of hiking trails, seasonal fishing, and educational programs — it has been operating on the same Chester Creek site since 1704. The Concord Township Municipal Complex on Thornton Road includes a paved walking trail, multi-purpose fields, pickleball courts, and a small playground. The Township’s open-space network also connects to Clayton Park and the broader Brandywine Valley trail system.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Builder — No builder has been identified in public records, county documents, or third-party sources for either Penns Grant I or Penns Grant II. The subdivision appears to have been developed organically or by a builder whose identity is not documented in accessible public records.
- Hoa Name — The formal legal name of the Penns Grant II HOA is not confirmed in any official recorded document found in this research. ‘Penns Grant II HOA’ is a descriptive label; the entity’s registered name with the Pennsylvania Department of State should be verified.
- Approx Homes — The figure of approximately 150 homes across both sections comes from The Cyr Team’s own prior page content (thecyrteam.com). No independent tax parcel count, plat record, or county GIS confirmation was located. Treat as an estimate until verified against Delaware County parcel data.
- Most Common Elementary — The specific elementary school attendance zone for Penns Grant streets was not confirmed via an official GVSD boundary map. Both Concord Elementary and Garnet Valley Elementary serve parts of Concord Township. Assignment depends on street address and is subject to change; verify with GVSD directly.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — The full range of approximately 1,900–3,800 sq ft is synthesized from listing data on neighborhoods.com and homesale.com. No county assessor bulk data was reviewed. Outliers above 3,500 sq ft likely reflect additions and expansions made by long-term owners.
- Sewer Connection Status Per Parcel — While Concord Township has extended sewer infrastructure into both sections (confirmed by township announcement and Cyr Team page), individual parcel connection status, outstanding tap-in fees, and remaining assessments were not verified. Buyers must confirm with Concord Township Sewer Department (610-459-8911 x108) before settlement.
- Avg Year Built — The MI tool reports an average year built of 1971. This is consistent with Penns Grant I construction (1970s) per livingplaces.com and public records listing data. However, the average does not reflect Penns Grant II (1980s), suggesting the MI tool’s sales sample skews toward Penns Grant I parcels. No anomaly flag needed — the figure is plausible given the two-section split — but users should note it understates the full era band.
