Kennett Square
Quality-of-life is why many call Kennett Square home. This cool, comfortable community located in Chester County and surrounded by the beautiful Brandywine Valley offers something for families, singles, and seniors. Historic homes, a bustling downtown with upscale boutiques, retailers and restaurants, ample amenities, and exceptional public and private schools can all be found within its borders. Several active adult and retirement communities are located close by.
Nearly three-quarters of the buildings within Kennett Square - including its homes - are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many date from between 1875 and 1924. From Federal through Italianate and Queen Anne, to early 20th century revivals, a variety of styles are represented, however, all have been lovingly maintained by their owners to preserve both the quality and beauty of the community.
Kennett Square’s accessibility adds to its charm. The entire Borough is bike and pedestrian friendly. Local bus service is also provided through SCCOOT, which provides service between Oxford and West Chester with stops in West Grove, Lincoln University, Kennett Square, and Longwood Gardens. The service runs Monday through Saturday. Connections to SEPTA are available in West Chester.
