What Makes This Distinct
Because The Square at West Chester sits inside West Chester Borough rather than an outlying township, buyers should verify their specific elementary school feeder pattern directly with the West Chester Area School District; public sales data flags East Goshen Elementary as the most common assignment, but the WCASD boundary map governs and boundaries can change. The community’s appreciation history trails the broader West Chester Area School District index by a material margin, which buyers treating the purchase as an investment should weigh against the in-borough location premium.
