Pennsylvania is a historical and charming state filled with hidden gems, boasting small towns, vibrant cities, and a strong economy. Between the scenic landscapes and thriving cultural arts scene, it’s no wonder that we see so many visitors and newcomers.

One place in the state that people flock to is Kennett Square. 

New townhomes and apartments are popping up around the town with easy walkability to local restaurants and pubs, parks, and exercise facilities,” said Paul Greenholt, real estate agent at Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate

A Chester County beauty, Kennett Square is 40 miles west of Philadelphia and hugs the northern border of Delaware. The community is known for its wonderful school district, prompting parents to settle there while their children are school-age.  

It has a lively and idyllic town center, where people can walk from business to business, grabbing local cuisine and shopping artisan goods. It also gives residents access to stunning views, with many hiking and outdoor activities.  

Named the ‘Mushroom Capital of the World’ due to the borough’s numerous mushroom farms, the town throws the Mushroom Festival every year for locals and out-of-towners.
