Many of these styles are found inside the three Brookmeade developments near the center of the community. On average, residences in the area are valued from $300,000 to $600,000. Properties in Greenville Overlook and north of Lancaster Pike enter the market for around $800,000 to over $1 million.

Greenbank Park provides sports, history and Little League games

Athletes have many options for play at Greenbank Park. The tennis, pickleball and handball courts are popular among solo and paired players. Residents also cheer on Little League games from the stands of the ball diamonds. The park contains the George White Commemorative Historic Marker and the remnants of a red-brick prison tower dating back over a century. Brandywine Springs Park has ball fields, basketball courts, playgrounds and trails. Locals may also find a serene moment near the creeks and woodlands. The grounds were once home to an amusement park, and the details are woven throughout the park on markers with photos connecting the park's past to the present. Passing through the greenspace is the scenic Western Railroads track that tours the surrounding historic tri-state area.


In addition to the area's historical landmarks are Greenbank Mills and Philips Farms. The functional farm hosts tours and events throughout the year. Among the most frequented are the markets, Folklore Friday, and the annual Shearing Day, demonstrating hand-processing wool from the livestock.
