About
Willistown Knoll is a 203-unit townhome subdivision in Willistown Township, Chester County, built on a historic Penn Grant farm property in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The community is managed by PENCO Management Inc. (Chadds Ford, PA), with the HOA covering lawn care, landscaping, roof maintenance, and snow removal. Homes are two-and-a-half stories with walk-out basements; in 2018 the association completed a community-wide exterior remediation, replacing original stucco with Hardie Board fiber-cement siding under a $10,000-per-unit special assessment, which also raised monthly HOA fees. Ridley Creek State Park — 2,600 acres of trails and fishing — is approximately five minutes away, and the community feeds into the Great Valley School District, with Sugartown Elementary (located in Willistown Township) as the most common elementary assignment.
