About
Williamsburg is a master-planned community of 461 homes set on 258 acres spanning Uwchlan and East Caln Townships, approximately two miles north of Downingtown Borough. Built from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s, it is organized into named villages—Jefferson Grove, Madison Estates, and Uwchlan Woods among them—each with its own lot character but all governed by a single HOA managed by PENCO Management. Shared amenities include an adult pool, a children’s pool, a clubhouse with kitchen and entertainment space, ball fields, play areas, and paved access to the county-managed Struble Trail; the HOA’s social committee organizes calendar events including an Easter Egg Hunt, Movie Night in the Park, and Oktoberfest.

Home Stock
The dominant structure type is the two-story detached colonial or traditional, with brick-front elevations common in the Uwchlan Woods section. The broader community also includes twin/duplex and carriage-style homes. Most detached homes were built between 1995 and 2002 and feature two-car attached garages, 9-foot first-floor ceilings, and walk-out or full basements on many lots. Public records confirm 4-bedroom, 2.5–3.5 bath layouts as the most frequently sold configuration.

Common Questions
What does the Williamsburg HOA actually cover, and who manages it?
The Williamsburg Homeowners Association is managed by PENCO Management (610-358-5580, Chadds Ford, PA). According to the HOA’s own site, a grounds and maintenance committee solicits bids and monitors vendors responsible for upkeep of the pool, clubhouse, and common and private road areas. HOA dues also fund pool access and common-area maintenance. The architectural committee reviews and approves homeowner modification requests at monthly Board meetings. Specific fee amounts and what is currently included can change; buyers should request the most recent budget, reserve study, and resale certificate before settlement.
Which schools serve Williamsburg, and does the feeder pattern differ by address?
Williamsburg falls within the Downingtown Area School District (DASD). Public records and the existing Cyr Team page both reference East Ward Elementary as the most commonly cited elementary school, with Lionville Middle School and Downingtown High School East appearing in listing data for Uwchlan Township parcels. However, because the community spans two townships—Uwchlan and East Caln—school assignments can vary by specific parcel. DASD has adjusted boundary lines over time. Anyone making a purchase decision based on a specific school assignment should confirm the current feeder pattern directly with DASD for their exact address before going under contract.
Is Williamsburg walkable, and how do residents access the Struble Trail?
Williamsburg’s internal street network features sidewalks throughout, and public records for homes in the Uwchlan Woods section specifically note paved access to the Struble Trail. The Struble Trail is a 2.6-mile paved, multi-use rail-trail managed by Chester County Parks that follows the East Branch of the Brandywine Creek; it connects to the Uwchlan Trail and Lions’ Trail, extending the off-road network further. For most destinations beyond the neighborhood—grocery stores, employment centers, the Route 30 corridor—a car is required.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Builder — No single builder verified for the Williamsburg community. The community appears to have been developed across multiple phases and sections (Jefferson Grove, Madison Estates, Uwchlan Woods) possibly by different builders. No named builder was found in HOA records, public sales data, or public permit filings accessible via web search.
- Hoa Fee Current — Historic public records show quarterly fees of $46–$53 (2018–2022 era). Current fee not verified; buyers must obtain current resale certificate from PENCO Management.
- Approx Homes By Village — Total home count of 461 is verified via the HOA’s own site, but the per-village breakdown (Jefferson Grove, Madison Estates, Uwchlan Woods, core Williamsburg) is not publicly documented in any source found.
- Tennis Court Current Status — One older public records listing references a tennis court in the Uwchlan Woods recreation area; the HOA’s own amenities page (williamsburghoa.net) does not list tennis as a current amenity. Status is unconfirmed.
School District
Williamsburg is served by the Downingtown Area School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
