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 plat map, township subdivision record, or authoritative source confirmed a total home count for Willistown Acres. The name appears used as a broader public records geographic designator in the Malvern/Willistown area, making a precise lot count unverifiable without access to original recorded subdivision plans.
- Builder — No single builder could be confirmed. Individual homes reference different construction eras (1958 documented, average 1968 per public sales data), consistent with organic lot-by-lot development rather than a single tract builder.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Range is inferred from two individually documented public records (1,835 sq ft and 4,222 sq ft); a comprehensive sqft range across all homes in the subdivision has not been independently verified.
- Hoa Name — No HOA name or governing documents found in public records, township subdivision applications, or any recorded source. Absence is consistent across multiple listing portals, but buyers should confirm via title search.
- Lot Character Text — Upper Bound — Lot sizes of 1 and 2 acres are documented in specific public records; whether larger lots (e.g., 3+ acres) exist within the named subdivision boundary has not been independently confirmed.
School District
Willistown Acres is served by the Great Valley School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
