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 source confirms the total number of homes within Rose Tree Woods as a defined subdivision in Upper Providence Township. The name is loosely applied in public records to addresses along the Rose Tree Road corridor; no recorded plat count was found.
- Builder — No single builder has been identified for Rose Tree Woods in Upper Providence Township. Public records show varied architectural styles and construction years from the late 1950s through 1979, consistent with organic, multi-builder development rather than a single-developer tract.
- Hoa Name — No formal HOA name or recorded mandatory HOA documents were found for Rose Tree Woods in Upper Providence Township through public records or public sources. Any deed restrictions must be verified through title work.
- Interior Sqft Range — Only two confirmed public records for addresses explicitly tagged ‘Rose Tree Woods’ in Upper Providence were found (approx. 2,000–3,211 sq ft). Insufficient sample to establish a reliable range; buyers should verify from assessor records.
- Shared Name Sibling — Rose Tree Woods also exists in Marple Township (Broomall), Delaware County — a different municipality and school district (Marple Newtown SD). The communities are distinct but share an identical name, creating potential for buyer confusion and mis-routing during school enrollment.
- Lot Size Range — Only one confirmed public records parcel (0.89 acres at 430 E Rose Tree Rd) was found within the Upper Providence Rose Tree Woods subdivision tag. The legacy hint range of 0.7–1.1 acres is plausible given Upper Providence’s one-acre minimum zoning in some districts, but has not been verified across multiple confirmed subdivision parcels.
School District
Rose Tree Woods is served by the Rose Tree Media School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
