Marsh Harbour is a wonderful and welcoming Chester County neighborhood in Upper Uwchlan Township.   Often, one not only hears the expression “friendly neighbors” in reference to Marsh Harbour but experiences it first-hand, when driving through the community to be greeted by waves and warm hellos from residents out and about.  

The neighborhood offers plenty of reasons to be outdoors from its swimming pool, tennis courts, tot lot, and impeccably groomed grounds.  An on-site fitness center in the clubhouse means one less excuse between you and an invigorating early morning workout.  This Gold Star Community (as designated by the Community Association Institute) can boast of its excellence in governance and conformance to the highest standards and its residents can enjoy the quality of the environment they proudly call home.   The HOA conveniently takes lawn care and snow removal off your to-do list.   

A blend of single-family homes and townhomes, this neighborhood is part of the Downingtown School district (ranked #1 in the state and home to the STEM Academy).  Community spirit is evident in the events regularly organized and easily accessible by way of a resident website which includes local news bulletins and classifieds about yard sales, babysitting, and more.  Sidewalks and well-lit streets sparkle and glow even brighter as residents light up their yards for the holidays.

A short (5 minute) walk away is the beautiful 1700+ acre Marsh Creek State Park, home to a 500+ acre lake, and needless to say, abundant recreational opportunities on and off the water.  From water sports like kayaking, canoeing, paddle-boarding and fishing (even ice fishing in winter!) to picnicking, hiking, and mountain biking in the mild seasons to cross-country skiing, ice skating, and 7 acres of sledding in the frosty months, all spell year-round enjoyment.  

Also remarkably close by is Hickory Park with its impressive array of sports fields including basketball, baseball, soccer, football, even sand volleyball and a 3-season event venue, the Barn at Upland Farms.

Only a five-minute drive from the Pennsylvania Turnpike, weary commuters can rejoice at the proximity they have to home once they take the Downingtown exit onto Route 100.  Several train stations and major roadways, including Routes 100, 113, 401, 30 and 202, make getting around the Chester County area a breeze.  

Nearby restaurants – from fine dining to casual ethnic eateries and all points in between, shopping – both malls and specialty boutiques, gyms, health care, and business parks leave no wants and needs unanswered for the residents who wisely chose to make Marsh Harbour their home.
