About
Stargazer Village is a Ryan Homes community in the Romansville section of West Bradford Township, Chester County, built on approximately 63 acres between 2017 and the early 2020s. The development comprises a planned mix of detached single-family homes and attached townhomes — 95 single-family and 39 townhome units per pre-construction filings — entered through a PennDOT-built roundabout off Strasburg Road. The community feeds into the Downingtown Area School District, with students assigned to West Bradford Elementary (ranked in the top 10% of Pennsylvania public elementary schools) and zoned to Downingtown High School West Campus; the district also includes the application-based Downingtown STEM Academy, a nationally ranked IB World School that opened in 2011.
Specifications
Home Stock
Ryan Homes built two distinct product types: detached single-family homes (including the Ballenger floor plan, which offers a flex room, open-concept kitchen island, and a choice of four bedrooms or a loft configuration) and three-story attached townhomes (including the Mendelssohn series, offering three bedrooms and an attached two-car garage). All homes feature open layouts, stainless steel appliances, and attached garages. Every single-family home in the community has a side-entry garage. Buyers should verify specific floor plan and finish level from builder documents or listing disclosures.

The community entrance is off Strasburg Road in the Romansville section of West Bradford Township, accessed via a PennDOT-constructed roundabout at Strasburg Road that connects Strasburg, Romansville Road, and Shadyside Road. U.S. Route 322 and Pennsylvania Route 162 are the numbered roads serving West Bradford Township, providing access to the broader Downingtown/Exton/West Chester corridor. Buyers should verify current routing and commute times independently.

What Makes This Distinct
Stargazer Village is classified as a mid-range, low-activity community that has trailed district-wide appreciation over its full sales history, which suggests buyers entering at today’s prices are not paying a premium for demonstrated outperformance — but also means sellers should price carefully relative to comparable Downingtown Area communities. The community’s value-play flag indicates it may represent a lower entry point into the Downingtown Area School District relative to peer subdivisions.

Worth Asking
Have you considered what the HOA’s scope of lawn maintenance — covering front and side yards but not necessarily rear yards — means for your actual outdoor maintenance obligations once you close, and whether the current monthly fee reflects a fully-funded reserve or a reserve that may require a special assessment in coming years?
Common Questions
Who built Stargazer Village and when was construction completed?
Ryan Homes built Stargazer Village in the Romansville section of West Bradford Township. Construction began in 2017 and was substantially completed by the early 2020s. The community is now sold out by the builder. Buyers purchasing resale homes should verify the specific year of construction for any given home from public records or settlement documents, as build years varied across phases.
What does the Stargazer Village HOA cover and manage?
Stargazer Village has a formal homeowners association — the Stargazer Village Homeowners Association — that covers common area maintenance, front and side lawn care, and snow removal, according to public records disclosures on recorded sales. Community amenities associated with the HOA include tot lots/playground, common grounds, and a jog/walk path. A capital contribution of $1,000 has appeared in prior public records. Buyers must obtain the current HOA disclosure packet, review the association’s reserve study, and confirm the current monthly fee and any pending assessments directly with the management company before settlement.
Which schools serve Stargazer Village?
Stargazer Village is in the Downingtown Area School District. Public records consistently assign residents to West Bradford Elementary School (K–5), Downingtown Middle School, and Downingtown High School West Campus. The district also includes the Downingtown STEM Academy, a separate application-based IB high school that opened in 2011 and is ranked among the top public high schools nationally. School boundaries can change; buyers should verify current assignments directly with the Downingtown Area School District before making any enrollment-dependent decisions.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Hoa Name (Management Company) — The HOA name ‘Stargazer Village Homeowners Association’ is confirmed via Compass/public records. The phone number 610-358-5580 appeared in one listing but the named property management company was not identified in search results. Buyers should obtain the current management company name and contact from the HOA disclosure packet.
- Approx Homes (Exact Count) — Pre-construction filings and multiple secondary sources consistently cite 95 single-family + 39 townhomes = 134 total planned units, but no recorded final plat or township document was retrieved to confirm every unit was built as planned. Classified as ‘estimated’ accordingly.
- Interior Sqft Range Text (Mendelssohn Specific To Stargazer Village) — The Ryan Homes Mendelssohn A base is 1,584 sq ft per the current Ryan Homes website; the legacy hint stated ~1,877 sq ft. BuzzBuzzHome lists townhomes up to 2,186 sq ft. The specific Mendelssohn variant built at Stargazer Village may differ from the current base model. Buyers should verify from builder documents.
- Hoa Monthly Fee (Current) — One public records-derived source cited under $170/month (circa 2021-2022); a Redfin listing showed $180/month for a townhome unit. HOA fees change over time and vary by unit type. No current audited figure was found. The page intentionally omits a specific dollar figure.
- Zip Code (Mailing Address) — Input data and multiple public records use ZIP 19320 (Coatesville mailing). Legacy hints and at least two early community listings reference 19335 (Downingtown mailing). The 19320 designation is confirmed by more recent sold-property records and is used here, but buyers should confirm their mailing address at settlement.
- Flood Plain — No FEMA flood zone data was retrieved for specific parcels. Buyers should obtain a flood zone determination for any specific property.
School District
Stargazer Village is served by the Downingtown Area School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
