Homes & Floor Plans
Homes in Penns Manor are attached, fee-simple townhomes with primarily brick-front exteriors and one-car garages.
Public data and past listings show most homes offering three bedrooms and multiple baths, often with two above-grade

Many floor plans feature an open kitchen and family room concept, separate dining or living areas, and a primary
bedroom suite with its own bath and walk-in closet. Some homes include gas fireplaces, decks or patios backing to
common open space, and walkout lower levels, depending on the specific model and any updates completed by prior owners.
Because each townhome has its own combination of upgrades and improvements, reviewing recent sales and current listings
is the best way to understand how one property compares to others in the community.
HOA, Amenities & Lifestyle
Penns Manor is governed by a homeowners association that oversees the shared grounds and community standards.
Available information from listings indicates that HOA services typically cover common-area maintenance, lawn care,
and snow removal, contributing to a lower level of exterior maintenance for individual owners.
The neighborhood includes sidewalks and a small playground/tot lot area, along with open green space behind some homes.
There is no widely advertised clubhouse or community pool; lifestyle here centers on the townhomes themselves and the
convenient location close to downtown Kennett Square.
Exact HOA fees, included services, and any additional amenities can change over time, so buyers and owners should always
review the most recent association documents and disclosures.

School District & Taxes
