Best of Both Worlds: Enjoy Suburban Comfort with Easy Access to Philadelphia

When You Want Space to Breathe—But Don’t Want to Leave the City Behind

Whether you’re commuting, visiting family, or just want the option to head into the city for a concert, dinner, or game, our homes in the Kennett Square area offer all the access with none of the stress.

  • And the freedom to enjoy nature, trails, and quiet streets—without giving up your go-to Philly favorites

  • Near major routes like U.S. 1 and Route 202 for quick highway access

Whether you work in the city or just like to play there, you’ll have the flexibility to hop in and out on your own terms.

What You Can Do With the Extra Time (and Space)

And if your weekend needs a little more energy? Hop on I-95 and be in Philly in time for a Sixers, Eagles, or Phillies game, or dinner in Fishtown.

That’s the beauty of this location. You don’t have to pick one lifestyle—you get both.
