About
Traymore is a 47-home carriage-home community built on the former 25-acre Saul estate — the last remaining undeveloped parcel in Rose Valley Borough — by Vaughan & Sautter Builders beginning in 2007. The architect, McIntyre Capron & Associates of Paoli, designed each home to reference the borough’s Arts and Crafts architectural heritage without literal reproduction, using HardiePlank siding, Kohler fixtures, Bosch appliances, and entry piers that replicate the red-tile-roofed street markers unique to Rose Valley. Rose Valley Borough itself was founded as an Arts and Crafts colony in 1901, and the Rose Valley Historic District — covering essentially all of the borough — was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 19, 2010, the same period during which Traymore was being built and sold.
Specifications
Home Stock
Arts & Crafts-inspired attached carriage homes built by Vaughan & Sautter Builders, opening in October 2007 and continuing through approximately 2016. The community offers three primary floor plans — the Calvert (first-floor primary suite), the Hadleigh (second-floor primary with elevator option), and the Broughton — each with 3 bedrooms, 3–4 bathrooms, a two-car attached garage, and standard features including site-finished hardwood floors, built-in bookcases flanking a gas fireplace, granite countertops, and Kohler plumbing fixtures. Rear decks are positioned away from shared walls for privacy, and exterior privacy walls separate rear yards. The Traymore subdivision was the borough’s first new-home development since Todmorden was built in the 1960s.
Location & Access
Traymore Lane intersects Rose Valley Road, reached via Brookhaven Road or Manchester Avenue off Baltimore Pike (PA 320). No numbered state highways pass directly through Rose Valley Borough. The Wallingford SEPTA station (Media/Wawa Line) and the Moylan–Rose Valley SEPTA station are both accessible within the borough area, providing rail service to Center City Philadelphia. I-95 and I-476 (Blue Route) are accessible within minutes. The Saul Wildlife Sanctuary trail system abuts the community and connects to Ridley Creek walking corridors.

What Makes This Distinct
Because Traymore occupies the final developable parcel in a 0.73-square-mile borough where virtually no new residential construction occurred between the 1960s and 2007, replacement supply is structurally constrained — new carriage-home competition cannot be added within the borough.

Worth Asking
Have you considered what the HOA’s scope of maintenance — lawn care, landscaping, snow removal, and trash, all managed by CCR Management, Inc. — means for your actual annual carrying cost, and whether the quarterly fee structure and reserve fund balance are adequate given the community’s relatively young (post-2007) building envelope?
Common Questions
What school buildings do Traymore residents typically attend in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District?
Rose Valley Borough is served by the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. The district operates three elementary schools — Nether Providence Elementary, Wallingford Elementary, and Swarthmore-Rutledge — one middle school (Strath Haven Middle), and Strath Haven High School, which explicitly serves Rose Valley Borough. Buyers should confirm the specific elementary school assignment for their address directly with the district, as boundary lines can shift. The Wallingford-Swarthmore district website is wssd.org.
Is Traymore part of the Rose Valley Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places?
The Rose Valley Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 19, 2010, and covers a large portion of the borough. Traymore is a new-construction community (built 2007 onward) on what was previously undeveloped estate land. Whether any Traymore parcels are within the historic district boundary is a title and planning question buyers should verify directly with Rose Valley Borough and a title attorney. National Register listing generally does not restrict how private owners use their homes unless federal funds or permits are involved.
What does the Traymore HOA cover, and who manages it?
Public records for Traymore identify CCR Management, Inc. as the HOA management company. Multiple listing disclosures confirm HOA fee coverage includes common area maintenance, lawn maintenance, snow removal, trash, insurance, and management. Buyers should obtain the current budget, reserve study, meeting minutes, and CCRs directly from the association before making an offer, as fees and covered services can change. The HOA does not appear to operate a pool or recreational facility within the Traymore community itself, though the Rose Valley Swimming Pool (established 1926, listed on the National Register) is open to non-residents.
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 — Final Count May Be 47 Vs. 43 — The Pro Builder article (2008) references Vaughan proposing 43 carriage homes; multiple public records consistently describe ’47 elegant Carriage homes.’ The 47 figure likely reflects the final approved and built count vs. the original proposal. The 47 figure is used as the verified count since it appears consistently in builder and public records marketing language, but a Cyr Team reviewer should confirm against county permit records.
- Hoa Name — Formal Legal Entity Name — CCR Management, Inc. is identified as the management company in Compass public sales data, not the legal HOA entity name. The HOA’s formal legal name (e.g., ‘Traymore Homeowners Association’) was not found in a public corporate filing or HOA declaration. Buyers must obtain the association’s governing documents directly.
- Most Common Elementary — Both Nether Providence Elementary and Wallingford Elementary are referenced in listing data for Traymore addresses. The district boundary for Rose Valley Borough elementary assignments is not explicitly stated in verified sources. Buyers must confirm with the district at wssd.org.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Upper Bound — Finished sq ft varies widely (2,726 to 5,203 per individual listing records) depending on finished basement inclusion. The builder’s base range (2,544–2,912 sq ft) is the most defensible evergreen figure; individual unit size must be verified from tax records.
- Appreciation Range Text — MI tool shows no appreciation pattern data for Traymore; only 3 sales in 2025 and 0 public records settlements in the 180-day window. Insufficient transaction volume for a pattern-language range.
- Lot Size — 26-Acre Vs. 25-Acre Estate — The legacy hint says ’26-acre estate’; the Pro Builder source says ’25-acre Saul estate.’ The Pro Builder contemporaneous trade publication is treated as more authoritative. See supersedes.
- Avg Year Built = 2010 Anomaly Note — The MI tool’s average year built of 2010 is consistent with the verified construction timeline (2007–2016, with most homes built 2008–2012). This figure is not anomalous and can be used with confidence as an era indicator, though individual unit year built must always be verified.
