West Chester is a popular suburb
of Philadelphia, about 30 minutes from the city, but far from
the ordinary. Here you'll find picturesque, sprawling suburbs
surrounding a vintage, Victorian-style town center. It all comes
together to offer an artful blend of old-fashioned values and
contemporary conveniences..
Downtown West Chester's charming tree-lined streets are filled with well-preserved
historic structures, most now serving as residences, shops, cafes and
commercial buildings. Brick sidewalks, weathered stepping stones and hitching
posts- originally used to access horse-drawn carriages-are still in evidence.
One such stone on Lafayette Street was engraved to mark the spot where
General Lafayette stood to review troops marching in his honor on July
26, 1825.
Historic West Chester dates back to the 1600's, when the Lenape Indians
populated the area, pre-dating European settlers. Today, a fast food restaurant
and a university dormitory sit atop two ancient campgrounds. The town
has taken great care to preserve the best of the past, while complementing
the area with businesses and services that are essential to everyday life.
Take a walk along Walnut Street or Gay Street and you'll find general
stores next to contemporary clothing boutiques, quaint taverns across
from cafes offering nouvelle cuisine, antique
shops next to fine furniture stores... you'll find pharmacies, banks,
business centers, every kind of store and service for everything you need.
Sharples Works is a short drive to the scenic rolling hills and farmland
of Chester County... historic battlefields, a world renowned botanical
garden, a museum showcasing the art works of the Wyeth family... and
just minutes from the incomparable shopping centers and corporate centers
of Exton, Wilmington, Valley Forge, King of Prussia and the prestigious
Main Line.
If you're looking for an area that offers an interesting mix of small-town
urbanization and suburban modernization, you'll love the West Chester
lifestyle and the exhilarating experience of living in a landmark!
