Population has exploded since the 70s
Located 36 miles west of Philadelphia, Upper Uwchlan is a thriving community that has grown steadily since the 1970s. In fact, the population in the 70s was about 1,000 residents — as of 2020, the community had grown to include 12,275 people. The neighborhood is north of the Uwchlan community and residents embrace the area’s rich history. The West Vincent Highlands Historic District, Wheelen House, Larkin Covered Bridge, and Byers Station Historic District are all included on the National Register of Historic Places. The community’s centerpiece, Eagle Tavern, dates back to 1702 and was once a hangout for outlaws. The tavern still operates today and was renamed Bloom Southern Kitchen in 2020.
The area’s proximity to the Main Line, the western suburbs, Center City, West Chester and King of Prussia, Pa., helps attract residents who don’t want to live in the more expensive communities. “It is a cute, unique community,” says Peggy Julicher, a Realtor with BHHS Fox & Roach-Malvern who has sold homes in the area for 32 years. She adds that Upper Uwchlan has a “live, work and play” vibe.

Homes can cost up to $1.1 million
Homes in the area cost between $378,000 to $1.1 million. Most of the housing stock consists of single-family homes and townhouses. According to Anna Abbatemarco of eXp Realty, parts of the area have a cookie-cutter appearance. An attached townhouse typically costs between $340,000 and $422,000, while a single-family, detached home might vary between $590,000 and $1.2 million. Home sizes average 3,020 square feet and the average lot is 32,670 square feet. Homes and lots here are slightly larger than homes in Uwchlan and Abbatemarco says Upper Uwchlan has newer structures. Many were built over the past few decades. “The neighborhood is one of the best-kept secrets,” she says. If the population growth continues, it's safe to say that the secret is out.
Homes can range up to over a million dollars in Upper Uwchlan.

There are chain restaurants like Olive Garden, Bonefish Grille and Cracker Barrel, and local eateries like Ron’s Original Bar & Grille, Bloom Southern Kitchen & Pasta and The Stables Kitchen & Beer Garden.

Year-round outdoor fun
Marsh Creek State Park, open year-round, is a hotbed for outdoor activities. The park is 1,800 acres where guests can launch their boats and spend the day sailing and fishing on the 535-acre Marsh Creek Lake or go mushroom hunting and hiking on the trails. There is also a seasonal pool at the park. Another local park, Andrew Evans Park, is a 13-acre green space complete with trails, sports fields and a picnic area with a gazebo. For those who like to multi-task, the Chester Valley Trail conveniently accesses local shopping centers. Upland Farm Park hosts a farmers market every Thursday year-round and the Music in the Park series every Tuesday in the summer months.

Multiple commuting options
There are two SEPTA bus stations in the neighborhood. Those who want to access points beyond via subway must travel to nearby Uwchlan, which has stations at Downingtown and Whitford. Those who prefer to commute via car can expect a one-hour drive to Philadelphia on Interstate 76 East. Uwchlan is a car-dependent area but is bikeable in certain areas. “There’s plenty of access,” says Abbatemarco.
