I live and work in East Goshen, Chester County.  It's a lovely township, some liken to the suburbs of Delaware County, as East Goshen is sometimes as far West of the city of Philadelphia as some buyers would like to be.  The mission statement of the township, as per their website is as follows:

           Endeavor to be one of the premier communities in Chester County by continually
           improving the quality of life while, at the same time, managing growth and development
           in a manner consistent with the protection of our environment and preservation of our
           natural and historic resources.

I can speak to my experience here as a convenient, clean and welcoming township that boasts two gorgeous parks, with great walking paths, a responsive township, some decent pizza places and a place to get one of the best Italian hoagies and cheese-steaks this side of the river!

East Goshen is part of the West Chester area School District.  My college aged son, now at Kutztown, had a very nice education going through the school system and my younger son is having a successful time in middle school.

The following are market statistics form the past year, October 2008 to the present time.  All numbers are compliments of TREND MLS.  The numbers show that East Goshen is quite a diverse township with homes ranging from modest condominiums to large executive homes.
