If home is where the heart is, the heart of Chester County housing these days is multifamily homes, particularly apartments.
There were nearly 3,000 multifamily units proposed in 2016, which was an increase of approximately 1,000 since 2015. In particular, there was a drastic increase in the apartment development proposals over the past year. There were 2,231 apartment units proposed in 2016 compared to 1,150 in 2015.
Wish there was a small 55+ community housing development in our area for independent living !! We have been living in East Whiteland township for over 35 years and love it here ! As were are seniors now we need to move to one level smaller houses ! Any plans in near future for this type of housing developments here !?
Since 2010, the Act 247 Plan Review section of the Chester County Planning Commission has been tracking plan submissions, which include age-restricted housing units. While none are located in East Whiteland, there are other units in the region: https://www.chesco.org/DocumentCenter/View/45027
Hi, Sorry for the late reply ! Thank you for your reply ! Living in Frazer was a wonderful experience ! Wish to live here as long as we can ! Lot of housing developments are coming ! some already built ! But this town will be one congested town once all the constructions finished ! Wish they had built a 55+ community here ! Would have been sold all the houses in a zip !! So many people who lived here are looking for 55+ community homes !! Too many apartments would create too much traffic ! Plus schools will be crowded ! Peace of this small town will be gone !! Hope there is still a chance they will consider building 55+ independent living homes ! Thank you !
