About West Chester
Housing Stock
West Chester features a mix of historic Victorian homes in the Borough, newer colonial and contemporary builds in surrounding townships, and converted stone farmhouses. The Borough's historic district has specific requirements for exterior work. Surrounding areas like East Goshen and Westtown have strong 1970s-90s suburban developments.
Local Considerations
West Chester Borough requires permits for most exterior work, with HARB (Historic Architectural Review Board) approval needed in the historic district. Chester County labor rates run 10-12% above state average. Four-season climate with hot, humid summers and cold winters means HVAC systems work year-round.
