Which part of West Chester Borough?
A West Chester mailing address can belong to the borough or a separate township. These places are in Chester County; send us the complete address to confirm coverage. Local records help describe a property, but do not establish its value.
Downtown West Chester: twins and rowhouses are common in the historic districts. Tell us about alterations or planned exterior work; the borough’s Historical and Architectural Review Board advises on demolition, renovation and alterations within its historic district.
The Everhart tract: the southwest blocks between Market and Barnard Streets grew from William Everhart’s 1829 purchase of the 110-acre Wollerton Farm. Comparable borough houses can differ from newer township subdivisions.
The East End: the borough’s 2011 preservation plan identifies flood-plain conditions along Goose Creek. Confirm the parcel’s flood zone and share records of basement water, drainage work and repairs.
Near West Chester University: provide the rental license, legal unit count and leases for a rental property. The borough’s rental tracker identifies licensed addresses, unit counts and whether students are permitted.

Is the property in West Goshen or East Goshen?
West Goshen and East Goshen are separate townships, divided from old Goshen Township in 1817. Confirm the municipality and parcel number even when the mailing address says West Chester.
West Goshen: share records of additions, the home’s age and lot size. Older houses and later suburban developments can call for different comparable sales.
East Goshen: for a condominium or townhouse, include the community name, association fee and assessment notices. For an older village house around Goshenville or the township’s former mill communities, describe alterations and setting.

Is the property in East Bradford or West Bradford?
East Bradford: Strode’s Mill is a historic crossroads village in a separate township beside the borough. For an older house, gather records of renovations, additions and outbuildings; age and setting matter when selecting comparable sales.
West Bradford and Marshallton: the township is in the Downingtown Area School District, and its office uses a Downingtown address. Marshallton, Trimblesville and Northbrook are historic districts. Provide the parcel location and exterior-change records. For a manufactured home, tell us whether the land is owned or leased.
East Bradford: Strode’s Mill is a historic crossroads village in a separate township beside the borough.
Westtown, Thornbury or Birmingham?
Westtown: identify public sewer or an on-lot septic system, and provide inspection, pumping and repair records. Include additions and known land restrictions. The township’s on-lot sewage program sets record requirements for septic systems.
Thornbury, Chester County: this is a separate municipality from Thornbury Township in Delaware County. Both are in the West Chester Area School District. Start with the county and parcel number, then include the community name and property type.
Birmingham: the township is in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District and includes part of the Brandywine Battlefield National Historic Landmark. A West Chester mailing address alone does not identify the school district. Provide the parcel record and known easements or historic restrictions.
