About
Woodleigh is a low-density, single-family detached subdivision in Upper Uwchlan Township, Chester County, located within the Downingtown Area School District. Public records document Colonial-style homes on Yarmouth Lane built primarily between the late 1980s and mid-1990s, with Moser Homes confirmed as the builder of record on at least two sold properties. The subdivision carries a nominal annual HOA fee — Public records cite $100 per year for common area maintenance — and sits minutes from the 1,705-acre Marsh Creek State Park, which offers boating, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and a swimming pool on a 535-acre lake in Upper Uwchlan and Wallace Townships.
Specifications
Home Stock
Detached single-family Colonial-style homes, predominantly four bedrooms with 2.5 to 3.5 baths, two-story foyers, attached two- or three-car garages, and finished basements. Public records document 9-foot first-floor ceilings and vaulted ceiling features on specific lots. Construction dates on record range from approximately 1987 to 1995; buyers should verify the year built for any specific property through county tax records.
Location & Access
Woodleigh sits in Upper Uwchlan Township with access to Route 100 (Pottstown Pike), which runs along the Route 100 corridor through the township and connects south to the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) interchange at Downingtown and to the U.S. Route 30 Bypass near Exton. Directions from listing records cite Rt. 100 North from Eagle to Font Road, then right onto Yarmouth Lane. Buyers should confirm preferred commuting routes and anticipated travel times independently.

What Makes This Distinct
Woodleigh’s all-time appreciation record in The Cyr Team’s 33-year index places it in the Premium price tier and Exceptional performance classification, outperforming the broader Downingtown Area School District appreciation index by a substantial margin — a pattern consistent with limited inventory in a low-turnover subdivision where acreage-scale lots are the norm.

Worth Asking
Have you considered that Woodleigh falls within Upper Uwchlan Township, where Wikipedia confirms multiple elementary school boundaries serve different streets — meaning the specific address you’re under contract on may feed Pickering Valley rather than Springton Manor, and you should request the exact school assignment in writing from the Downingtown Area School District before settling?
Common Questions
Which schools serve Woodleigh?
Woodleigh is within the Downingtown Area School District. Upper Uwchlan Township spans multiple elementary school attendance zones, including Springton Manor and Pickering Valley elementaries, with Marsh Creek Sixth Grade Center at grade 6, and Downingtown High School East Campus serving grades 9-12. The Downingtown STEM Academy, a public magnet IB World School ranked among the top high schools in Pennsylvania by U.S. News & World Report, is open to all district students by application in 8th grade. Because elementary assignments vary by address, buyers should confirm the specific feeder school for any property directly with the Downingtown Area School District at dasd.org.
Is there a homeowners association in Woodleigh, and what does it cover?
Yes. Public records for Yarmouth Lane properties cite an HOA fee of $100 annually, described as covering common area maintenance. No formal HOA name was found in publicly available records. Buyers should request and review the complete HOA governing documents — including any declaration of covenants, rules, and current financials — from the seller prior to or during the inspection contingency period, and independently verify whether a specific lot is subject to the association.
What outdoor recreation is accessible from Woodleigh?
Marsh Creek State Park, a 1,705-acre Pennsylvania state park spanning Upper Uwchlan and Wallace Townships, is located approximately 2 miles west of Eagle on Route 100. The park features the 535-acre Marsh Creek Lake — open to fishing, sailing, kayaking, and non-gasoline-powered boating — along with hiking and mountain biking trails, a swimming pool, and picnic areas. Upper Uwchlan Township’s Trail Network Master Plan, adopted in 2005, outlines paved multi-use trails, signed walking streets, and bike routes, including a connector path to the village of Eagle.
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 source documents the total number of homes in Woodleigh. The subdivision appears to consist of a small number of lots on Yarmouth Lane and nearby streets, but no plat or county subdivision record listing a home count was located in public web sources.
- Hoa Name — Public records confirm a $100/year HOA exists for common area maintenance, but no formal HOA name (e.g., ‘Woodleigh Homeowners Association’) appeared in any publicly accessible source. Chester County recorder of deeds or the listing agent would be the authoritative source.
- Builder — Moser Homes is confirmed as builder of record for 5 and 6 Yarmouth Lane. The listing for 55 Yarmouth Lane (built 1987, predating the primary 1994-1995 cluster) does not cite a builder, raising the possibility that Woodleigh had more than one builder or that not all lots were developed simultaneously. Buyer should verify builder for any specific home.
- Elementary School Assignment — Input data and legacy hint specify Springton Manor Elementary as the most common feeder. However, Redfin/public sales data for 6 Yarmouth Ln (PACT177020, sold 2000) lists Pickering Valley Elementary. Wikipedia confirms Upper Uwchlan spans Brandywine-Wallace, Pickering Valley, Shamona Creek, and Springton Manor elementary boundaries. School assignment likely varies by specific address within the subdivision. Buyers must confirm their lot’s current feeder school directly with DASD.
- Lot Character Text — On-Site Septic Vs. Public Sewer — 55 Yarmouth Ln (29-2) is listed with on-site septic, while 5 Yarmouth Ln (brettfurman.com) shows public sewer. Utility infrastructure may vary by lot. Buyers should independently verify water and sewer connections for any specific property.
