Close to airports (Wilmington, Philadelphia) and rail systems the world is within reach. Right off Route 95, major cities including Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York and D.C. are easily accessed, as well as smaller but quaint towns like West Chester, Media, Lancaster, and King of Prussia. Despite being close to it all, Chadds Ford is tucked away in nature providing the ideal private retreat.

Rich History

Many books have been written about Chadds Ford and her events and people. From the Battle of the Brandywine to the famed Wyeth Family, among the most influential artists of the last century, Chadds Ford is central to American history, despite its purposefully undeveloped, sleepy appearance.

Closed Community

Residents are fond of the rich natural setting and have avoided the “progress” that’s impacted most semi-rural areas nearby, now decked with strip malls and dense developments. There are no billboards in Chadds Ford, and frankly, people don’t want to be bothered by solicitation or other intrusions. Many families have lived in the area for generations.

Private Enclave

Drive through Chadds Ford and you will see few homes and businesses, by design. Families enjoy privacy tucked into wooded acres where large homes are built for entertaining. Historic homes harken back to an age when men made their wealth in the City and then retreated to large estates in the country.

Interesting People

Tucked into Chadds Ford is a remarkable population. They possess a love for learning (an astonishing 60% have advanced degrees), a love for the arts, a love for nature and equestrian sports including eventing and fox hunting. They are engineers and makers, writers and photographers. Untold awards have been bestowed upon its residents, and yet this is not a flashy group, understatement is key.
