Grace Manor Homes proposes dividing about 2.3 acres in Chester City into 21 lots. The lots would hold 18 semi-detached homes (two homes sharing a wall) and 3 detached single-family homes.
The site is at the northwest corner of Grace Street and West 7th Street. The county's October 2025 agenda lists it as a subdivision and land development review. One summary line in the same agenda describes a different home count and a new residential street, so the final unit mix should be checked against the city's filing.
No developer website, news coverage, or opposition was found online. No city approvals were found either.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds up to 21 new homes on a 2.3-acre site, which would increase the number of households on nearby blocks.
- A new residential street may be part of the plan, according to one county agenda summary. Local traffic and access could change if so.
- The records do not address schools, utilities, or open space.
Where it stands
The county planning commission reviewed the plan in October 2025. That review is advisory, and the city decides on the subdivision. Next steps usually include city planning review and approval, then permits, before any construction.
