West Chester Borough is the Chester County Seat, and home to The Chester County Hospital and West Chester University. What makes West Chester real estate so desirable? The location, appreciating property values, diverse business enterprises, as well as the proximity to three major cities: Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and New York City... ALL make this area so attractive. Within minutes from the hustle-bustle of the downtown area, you will find yourself in the rolling hills -- with not a house in sight.
Downtown West Chester is a big city little town. It offers upscale to casual dining, unique boutiques, and a history that begs to be explored. The Downtown District is on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Chester County Historic Society is busy managing the records of the more than 3,000 buildings dating back to the 1600s. Stroll along the brick walkways of West Chester Borough and you will discover almost every architectural period represented in the homes and businesses there. Open the door to history at the John Cope House, one of the oldest stone homes in Chester County. Baldwin’s Book Barn offers five floors of rare and antique books, manuscripts, paintings, prints and other collectibles. |
