About Chester Heights

Chester Heights is a quiet, leafy borough in Delaware County with just under 3,000 residents. Located just south of Route 1, the area keeps a relaxed, semi-rural feel with winding roads, mature trees along Chester Creek, and historic stone homes scattered among newer residential neighborhoods. It offers plenty of green space and privacy while keeping you close to the rest of the region.

Chester Heights is home to Wawa's corporate headquarters, though the rest of the borough is almost entirely residential. Without a traditional commercial downtown, locals head into neighboring Media, Glen Mills, or Concordville for groceries, dining, and shopping. Families often move here for the top-rated Garnet Valley School District, and commuters benefit from quick access to Route 1 and Baltimore Pike for easy trips to Philadelphia, Wilmington, and nearby train stations.
