Peaceful Chester County suburb with historic charm and a bevy of amenities
Lionville may be a peaceful and quiet suburb, but it’s roaring with historic charm, connected to an excellent school district and close to nearby amenities. Lionville is a national historic district with dozens of homes and buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, especially along the half-mile strip of S Village Avenue. That’s where buyers will find a collection of Colonial homes, including what was once the Red Lion Inn, where the town gets its name. The inn was notable for housing George Washington during the Revolutionary War. “It’s convenient to most major roads like the Penn Turnpike and local train stations, so residents can get into Philly for shows or work pretty easy. That’s the main draw of the community,” says Realtor Charlie Pennypacker with RE/MAX Professional Realty, an agent with over 16 years of experience.
Lionville is a busy and countryside suburb with plenty of things to enjoy.
The Uwchlan Meetinghouse is a historic building in Lionville and is available to rent privately.

Buyers find a mix of historic homes, midcentury homes and contemporary estates
Along with these historic structures are a variety of single-family homes developed between the 1960s and 1990s. A vast majority of homes here are Colonial Revivals with a mix of split-level and ranch-style homes blended in. Most have ample yard space on quarter-to-half-acre, making it easy for residents to relax in their lush backyards. These homes typically range from $400,000 to $550,000. Larger Colonial Revival and contemporary homes that average around $650,000 may be found in communities within the neighborhood with homeowner’s associations. Additionally, Lionville is home to HOA townhouse developments, which have amenities like a community pool and tennis courts. A townhouse offers a more budget-friendly option, typically costing around $375,000.
The wooded areas in Lionville provide privacy for neighbors.

Students attend Downingtown Area School District
“The school district is excellent here. It’s super important to a lot of people who move to the area and all the schools have A ratings on Niche,” Pennypacker says. Education begins at Lionville Elementary School, after which students attend Lionville Middle School. For high school, students attend Downingtown High School East. The high school was established in 2003 following population growth and is currently ranked in the top 50 for best college preparation schools in Pennsylvania by NICHE. It also has a healthy sports rivalry with its sister school, Downingtown High School West.
The Lionville Elementary School serves grades K-5 with an A rating on Niche.com.

The quality of life, safety and school district are all top of the line. The only complaint I have about this area is that the chain stores and restaurants have taken over from the family businesses.
