The Willistown Hunt townhomes in Willistown Township provide the perfect blend of luxury and location in rural Chester County PA.
Located in south western Willistown Township, Willistown Hunt is a newer townhome planned community in Chester County that was established in 2002.

It also is an easy commute to Wilmington following Route 926 and Route 202 or into the Philadlephia area by the Blue Route and I-95.
Willistown Hunt was established in 2002 with the bulk of the construction and sales continuing through 2003 and 2004. The community was planned and built by Orleans homebuilders in this convenient semi-rural location with a history dating back to the 1600s when William Penn surveyed the Welsh Tract. It continues to be surrounded by nice undisturbed wooded and wetland areas while still convenient to many shopping and entertainment options.
The Willistown Hunt development includes 98 townhomes in three basic styles with all utilizing numerous energy saving features and having luxurious amenities. The designs include homes ranging from 2300 to over 3500 square feet with many including gracious formal living rooms and dining rooms combined with large two story family rooms with gas fireplaces. Homes also enjoy one or two car garages with 3 or 4 bedrooms and could have large finished basements - some with walk-outs.
When originally built, the townhomes were priced starting in the mid $300,000s. Over the course of the development, units sold from the mid $300,000s to almost $500,000. The average sales prices for the community peaked in 2007 with four resales averaging $460,000. Since then prices declined to an average of $438,000 with 3 sales in 2008, $394,000 with 2 sales in 2009, and $350,000 with 2 sales year-to-date in 2010.
