Borough Streets

Lafayette Street, Kennett Square, PA Real Estate

Lafayette Street runs through the heart of Kennett Square Borough, and like most streets in town it changes character block by block. Lot depth, parking, renovation quality and how close you are to State Street all move value here, sometimes by more than square footage does.

The market on Lafayette Street

Values along this street reflect the Borough as a whole: proximity to State Street, off-street parking, lot depth, updated systems and how sympathetically any renovation was done.

Because so few homes on any given Borough street come up in a year, comparable sales have to be pulled thoughtfully from surrounding blocks rather than from the wider ZIP code.

Historic downtown Kennett Square storefronts on State Street — Walkable State Street living is the reason many buyers choose Kennett Square.

What to check before buying here

Older Borough housing stock means asking about the roof, electrical service, heating system, drainage and any remaining knob-and-tube wiring. Radon testing is standard in Chester County and inexpensive.
