Selling Real Estate in Chester County, PA
Chester County spreads across the rolling Piedmont west of Philadelphia, from Main Line suburbs in the east to open farm country along the Lancaster County line and the Mason-Dixon Line to the south. West Chester is the county seat, while the western and southern townships center on Coatesville, Parkesburg, Honey Brook and Oxford. US 30, US 322, US 1 and PA 10 carry traffic through this side of the county, and the Brandywine and Octoraro creeks drain its hills. One of Pennsylvania’s three original counties, it dates to 1682.
Western Chester County Farm Country
Agriculture is still a major part of the county’s economy, with about 1,600 farms on more than 140,000 acres. Chester County leads Pennsylvania in nursery and greenhouse sales, its southern townships are known for mushroom growing, and horse farms continue to multiply. Honey Brook Township, at the headwaters of the Brandywine, is mostly farmland and home to an Amish community, while Coatesville, the county’s only city, and nearby Parkesburg sit on the Amtrak Keystone line. Oxford’s historic downtown is ringed by farmland.
