The Willistown Hunt townhomes in Willistown Township provide the perfect blend of luxury and location in rural Chester County PA.
Located in south western Willistown Township, Willistown Hunt is a newer townhome planned community in Chester County that was established in 2002. The community is located just off the intersection of Route 926/ Street Rd and Route 3/ the West Chester Pike. This location allows for quick access to most of Delaware County to the east on West Chester Pike or West Chester to the west. It also is an easy commute to Wilmington following Route 926 and Route 202 or into the Philadlephia area by the Blue Route and I-95.
Willistown Hunt was established in 2002 with the bulk of the construction and sales continuing through 2003 and 2004. 
The community was planned and built by Orleans homebuilders in this convenient semi-rural location with a history dating back to the 1600s when William Penn surveyed the Welsh Tract. It continues to be surrounded by nice undisturbed wooded and wetland areas while still convenient to many shopping and entertainment options.
The Willistown Hunt development includes 98 townhomes in three basic styles with all utilizing numerous energy saving features and having luxurious amenities. 
The designs include homes ranging from 2300 to over 3500 square feet with many including gracious formal living rooms and dining rooms combined with large two story family rooms with gas fireplaces. Homes also enjoy one or two car garages with 3 or 4 bedrooms and could have large finished basements - some with walk-outs.
When originally built, the townhomes were priced starting in the mid $300,000s. Over the course of the development, units sold from the mid $300,000s to almost $500,000. 
The average sales prices for the community peaked in 2007 with four resales averaging $460,000. Since then prices declined to an average of $438,000 with 3 sales in 2008, $394,000 with 2 sales in 2009, and $350,000 with 2 sales year-to-date in 2010. Today there are also 2 pending sales with an average asking price of $439,000 while no homes are currently listed for sale.
If you are looking for the convenience of luxury townhome living in a rural setting but with easy access to Philadelphia, Wilmington, Chester County, and Delaware County, Willistown Hunt is an ideal choice in the area and should be included in any home search.

Pike just west of its intersection with Route 926 along the Delaware County / Chester County border. This location in southwest Willistown Township provides direct access to West Chester just minutes to the west, to Delaware via Route 926/Street Rd and then 202 south, Southern Delaware County and Media by Route 352, and to Newtown Square, the Blue Route, and all points east on West Chester Pike.
Just off the entrance to Willistown Woods is Worington Commons. Built in the late 1980s, this is a smaller, less expensive alternative to its neighbor up the hill. The community of about 60 units had only one sale in 2008 for $211,000 and there are currently two units on the market starting at $210,000. This pricing is in line with the last couple years as the pricing has remained in the $205,000-$210,000 range since 2005.
Abutting Willistown Woods over the crest of the hill is Willistown Knoll with its entrance off Route 926 / Street Rd. This community was also built in the late 80s. The homes here tend to be more spacious and the community boasts more common ground and a more open flow resulting in a higher average sales price of $309,000 in 2008 (10 units sold). This is actually up just slight from sales averaging between $297,000 and $301,000 from 2005-2007. There is currently only one home on the market for $318,900.
