Moving to Chesterbrook Villages in Wayne PA
Your complete guide to relocating within America’s #1 ranked community and its 28 unique villages
Chesterbrook stands as a 1.6-square-mile planned community of 28 independently managed villages in Tredyffrin Township. Ranked the #1 Place to Live in America by Niche.com for four consecutive years, this Chester County gem offers everything from affordable condos to million-dollar estates. LiteMovers specializes in navigating the unique requirements of each Chesterbrook village to ensure your move goes smoothly.
About Chesterbrook
Located in Tredyffrin Township, Chesterbrook was built between 1977 and 2018 on the former Chesterbrook Farm estate. Unlike typical planned communities with a master HOA, each of the 28 villages operates independently with its own board, budget, and property manager. The Chesterbrook Civic Association coordinates community-wide activities but lacks binding authority over individual villages.
This distinction matters significantly for moving. Each village maintains different move-in procedures, insurance requirements, and time restrictions. LiteMovers has worked with every Chesterbrook village and understands the specific protocols required by each management company. We handle the coordination so you can focus on settling into your new home.
The community houses approximately 4,600 residents within the acclaimed Tredyffrin-Easttown School District, consistently ranked among Pennsylvania’s top three. Students attend Valley Forge Elementary, Valley Forge Middle School, and Conestoga High School.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chesterbrook Moves
Why does Chesterbrook have 28 different HOAs instead of one?
Chesterbrook was developed as independent villages over four decades (1977-2018) rather than as a single community. Each village maintains its own board, budget, and property manager. The Chesterbrook Civic Association coordinates community events but has no binding authority over individual villages.
How do I find out which village my new home is in?
Your street address determines your village. For example, Algonquin Court addresses belong to Sullivan’s Bridge, while Brigade Court addresses are in The Paddock. Your real estate agent or seller can confirm your specific village. LiteMovers can also identify your village based on your address.
What insurance does LiteMovers carry for Chesterbrook moves?
LiteMovers maintains comprehensive general liability insurance and Workers’ Compensation coverage meeting the requirements of all Chesterbrook management companies. We provide Certificates of Insurance naming your specific village HOA as additionally insured.
