The Smartest Move for Your Family: New Homes in the Kennett Consolidated School District
If you’re raising a family in Kennett Square, chances are you’ve already experienced the benefits of the Kennett Consolidated School District (KCSD) — a district known for its strong academics, supportive environment, and community focus. When it comes time to move, whether for more space, updated finishes, or a low-maintenance lifestyle, there’s no reason to leave the district behind.
Montchanin Builders now offers two thoughtfully designed new home communities that allow you to stay rooted in KCSD while upgrading your day-to-day life: The Enclave at Longwood Preserve and Kennett Pointe. Both are zoned for Greenwood Elementary School and offer direct access to the very schools, streets, and neighbors that make Kennett Square so special.
Let’s explore why these communities are such a smart choice for families who want to move without disrupting their children’s educational path or their lifestyle.
