Situated 35 miles west of Philadelphia, the Uwchlan Neighborhood, which is part of Uwchlan Neighborhood, is conveniently located between the Main Line, the western suburbs, Center City, West Chester and King of Prussia, Pa. The area’s name dates back to 1712, when Welsh Quakers settled there. Before the Welsh settlers, Uwchlan was home to the Leni-Lenape and Iroquoian-speaking Susquehannock Native Americans. The neighborhood spans 10 square miles. Additionally, Uwchlan Meetinghouse and Lionville Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. According to Anna Abbatemarco of eXp Realty, walking to shops and restaurants is another advantage of living in the area. Peggy Julicher, a Realtor with BHHS Fox & Roach-Malvern, adds that affordability also attracts home buyers to Uwchlan. She has sold homes in the area for 32 years.

Uwchlan housing stock favors single-family homes

Abbatemarco says the housing stock in the area is predominately single-family homes and townhouses. She adds that some areas tend to have a cookie-cutter appearance. A single-family, detached home may range between $590,000 and $1.2 million, while an attached townhouse generally costs $340,000 to $422,000. Housing prices tend to sit between $327,000 and $1.1 million. The average size of a home in the area is 2,600 square feet and lots are 19,602 square feet but can be as large as an acre in some cases. Since the area is still semi-rural, many homes are spread out instead of side-by-side.

Lots of outdoor options

Locals value their outdoor spaces — there are nearly 15 parks in the area, including Dowlin Forge Park and Charles H. Martin Memorial Park. Dowlin Forge Park dates back to the 18th Century. The park originates from a former forge that made iron for the Continental Army during the American Revolution. The forge building has since been restored and serves as a museum at the site. The park is popular amongst bird and animal watchers, as well as nature walks and historical reenactments. The 240-acre Charles H. Martin Memorial Park attracts hikers, campers and fishers. Residents also visit nearby Marsh Creek State Park, a 1,800-acre park. The 535-acre Marsh Creek Lake is where visitors can mushroom hunt, launch their boats and spend the day fishing and sailing. The park is open year-round and also has a seasonal pool. There is also the Chester Valley Trail for hikers with access to local shopping.

Area restaurants have lots of diversity

Sushi lovers can find their favorite rolls at Bluefin Restaurant & Sushi Bar in Wellington Square. Brickside Grille serves more traditional seafood and raw oysters and Limoncello West Chester serves traditional Italian fare. Abbatemarco says that there are plenty of grocery stores and local shops, but those seeking more retail therapy head to the malls in the King of Prussia area, a 20-mile trek.

Park hosts weekly happy hours

There are two local farms that locals flock to for fresh dairy products and events. Birchrun Hills Farm hosts Friday happy hours all year featuring the farm’s handmade artisan cheeses, prepared dishes and wine by local winemaker Le Garage Winery. Milky Way Farm has been owned by a family for four generations. The working farm has also established Chester Springs Creamery and hosts farm-to-table dinners and educates school children about modern-day farming. “There is a live, work and play lifestyle (in Uwchlan),” Julicher says. She adds that the farm is a “cute and unique community site.”

Many commuting option

Locally, there are two SEPTA bus stops and two subway stations in Downingtown and Whitford. The closest airport, Philadelphia International, is about one hour away.
