About
Rolling Heights is a small, private single-family subdivision in Chester Heights Borough, Delaware County, accessed exclusively from Lenni Road via Llewellyn Road and Valleybrook Road to U.S. Route 1. The development is organized around two cul-de-sac streets and includes a shared open common area with a pond; homes are Colonial-style detached residences built primarily in 1988–1989 on lots of approximately three-quarters of an acre. Residents are served by the Garnet Valley School District, which is based in Glen Mills and serves Chester Heights Borough, Bethel Township, and Concord Township.
Specifications
Home Stock
Detached Colonial-style single-family homes, typically offering four bedrooms and 2.5 to 3 bathrooms, built primarily in 1988–1989. Multiple address-level public records confirm the Colonial form, four-bedroom count, and late-1980s construction dates.
Location & Access
Rolling Heights Lane is accessed via Lenni Road, which connects to Llewellyn Road, then to Valleybrook Road, and ultimately to U.S. Route 1 (Baltimore Pike). Route 1 provides direct access to I-476 (the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s Northeast Extension interchange at Route 1). Wawa Station on SEPTA’s Media/Wawa Regional Rail Line — which restored service in August 2022 — is the nearest rail access point to Center City Philadelphia; buyers should verify current schedules and driving time to the station.

What Makes This Distinct
Chester Heights Borough was incorporated in 1945, carved from Aston Township, and Rolling Heights represents one of the borough’s late-1980s residential infill phases — constructed after the borough had already existed for more than four decades in a municipality where some structures date to the early 18th century. Because the subdivision is small and infrequently trades, each sale carries significant weight in any appreciation analysis, and buyers or sellers should weight per-sale data accordingly.

Worth Asking
Have you considered that a subdivision with two cul-de-sacs, a shared common area, and an public records-noted HOA fee line item may carry deed restrictions or association obligations that don’t surface until the title search — and that the Delaware County Recorder of Deeds is the authoritative source for confirming whether a recorded declaration exists for Rolling Heights?

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 — The legacy hint of approximately 20 homes could not be verified from any named public source. No subdivision plat, borough permit record, or tax parcel count was accessible to confirm the total unit count. Left null per no-invented-numbers rule.
- Builder — No builder of record for Rolling Heights has been identified in any accessible public source, public records history, or permit database. Multiple homes show 1988–1989 construction but no single developer is named.
- Hoa Name — A small HOA fee line item (as low as $25) appears in at least one historical public records record, but no formal HOA name, recorded declaration, or management company has been publicly identified for Rolling Heights. The existence, scope, and current status of any association must be verified at the Delaware County Recorder of Deeds.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Only a small number of address-level records were accessible; the sq ft range of approximately 2,327–2,471 is based on three verified addresses. The full range across all homes in the subdivision is unknown.
- Most Common Elementary — Public sales data for one Rolling Heights Lane address (12 Rolling Heights Ln) cites Bethel Springs Elementary (grades 1–5); another address (18 Rolling Heights Ln) does not specify the feeder elementary. GVSD boundary assignments should be confirmed directly with the district.
