Anfield at Malvern is a community of 280 twin and townhouse homes on the former Knickerbocker tract in East Whiteland Township, near Lapp Road and Old Morehall Road. The county record covers roughly 177 acres. It also covers a revised layout for the community clubhouse.
The builder is Toll Brothers. Its materials describe luxury townhomes in several collections, with a clubhouse, pool, pickleball courts, a playground and walking trails. Real-estate listings show homes now being sold on Alroy, Anfield and Kemlyn roads, so building and sales are well underway.
No news coverage of opposition was found. No township meeting minutes or hearing records were found either. The county filing is an amended final plan, which usually means the project was already approved and the owner is adjusting details.
What it could mean nearby
- About 280 new households would be added near Lapp Road and Old Morehall Road, which could increase local traffic.
- Listings place the community in the Great Valley School District, so new students could affect that district.
- Amenities such as trails, a playground and a clubhouse are planned inside the community. Public access is not confirmed.
- Construction activity (trucks, noise) is likely to continue while homes are still being built.
Where it stands
