Strafford Walk would replace a long-vacant estate of about 8.3 acres in the Strafford area of Wayne, Radnor Township, with 29 single-family detached homes on a new street. The county filing covers combining five parcels and re-dividing them into 29 lots.
According to local coverage from March 2025, the plan follows two earlier townhome proposals (41 units in 2020 and 38 in 2023). Radnor refused the density waivers those plans needed, and the developer's court appeals failed. Neighbors had objected over stormwater, traffic and density. The single-family plan was drafted with a township settlement in mind. Most lots are well under a quarter-acre, and the homes are described as 2,400 to 4,000 square feet. Marketing listings say prices start around $2.8 million.
Rockwell Custom, a Wayne-based builder, agreed to buy the land from the estate's trustees.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: neighbors raised congestion on Strafford Avenue and nearby roads for the earlier townhome plans. The sources do not include a traffic study for this plan.
- Stormwater: coverage says management facilities would be built before construction starts. Stormwater was a main neighbor concern.
- Housing: 29 new detached homes at the high end of the market, replacing the larger townhome plans.
- Streetscape: reports mention sidewalks, landscape and fence buffers, and traffic controls.
Where it stands
A county filing dated October 2025 shows the subdivision plan is in Radnor's multi-step land-development review. Next come township planning and commissioner reviews and, if approved, final plan approval and permits before construction.
