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 — NeighborWho identifies 25 addresses on Willowbrook Road itself, but the neighborhood boundary (which includes Mill Road and other streets per listing descriptions) is undefined. Total home count is unverifiable without a recorded plat map or HOA roster.
  • Hoa Name — No HOA name or recorded covenants found for the detached SFH area of Willowbrook. Legacy hint suggested HOA/condo; this appears to have been based on the Willowbrook Condominiums complex at 3360 Chichester Ave, not the SFH neighborhood. See supersedes.
  • Builder — No single named builder identified for the Willowbrook SFH neighborhood. The 1970s construction era and organic lot-by-lot pattern suggests multiple builders or custom construction rather than a single developer.
  • Interior Sqft Range Text — Square footage range derived from a small number of individual public records (1,998 sq ft at 316 Willowbrook Rd; ~2,000 sq ft at 1727 Mill Rd; 1,612 sq ft cited nearby). Insufficient data for a precise verified range.
  • Most Common Elementary — Structural data input left this blank. Township-wide, students in Boothwyn attend either Boothwyn Elementary or Hilltop Elementary. Specific boundary for the Willowbrook street cluster not confirmed; buyers must verify with Chichester School District.
  • Lot Character Text — Precise Range — Lot sizes of 0.26–0.45 acres come from only two NeighborWho records (322 and 325 Willowbrook Rd). Additional lots in the broader neighborhood may vary.

School District

Willowbrook is served by the Chichester School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
