About Malvern
Housing Character
Malvern sits at the western edge of the Main Line, combining that region's quality expectations with Chester County's more accessible pricing. The borough itself features charming historic homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Surrounding areas in Willistown and East Whiteland include larger estate properties, upscale developments, and executive colonials. Home sizes tend larger than Chester County averages, which impacts service costs accordingly.
Local Considerations
Malvern Borough handles permits within borough limits. Surrounding properties fall under Willistown Township or East Whiteland Township jurisdiction. Many properties have private wells and septic systems rather than public utilities—important for plumbing considerations. The area's larger lots and premium homes mean contractors often charge Main Line rates, though competition from Chester County keeps pricing somewhat in check.
