County records describe a proposal to build 147 attached townhouses on about 38 acres in Avondale Borough, Chester County. The site is a former quarry. The plan includes new internal roads and open space. It would also combine several existing parcels into a single site before construction.
Townhouses are homes joined by shared walls in rows. At about 4 homes per acre across the whole site, this is a fairly compact neighborhood for a small borough.
No news coverage, borough meeting records, developer website or state permit specific to this project was found online. Who will build it, whether anyone opposes it, and whether it has been approved are not known from public sources. The latest county filing is dated January 13, 2026.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: 147 new households would add daily car trips, but no traffic study was found, so the effect on local roads is unknown.
- Housing: the project would add 147 homes to a small borough, which could be a large share of its housing.
- Open space: the plan includes open space, but its size and public access are not stated in the records found.
- Reuse: building on a former quarry would put a long-idle industrial site back into use.
