01The Destination
Glen Mills is an unincorporated community in western Delaware County, about 25 miles southwest of Center City Philadelphia, where US 1 (Baltimore Pike) crosses US 202 at Concordville.
Concord Township first appears in court records on June 27, 1683, and it stayed part of Chester County until Delaware County was created in 1789. Water power built the place. The Newlin Grist Mill has stood on Chester Creek since 1704, and Thomas Willcox opened Ivy Mills in 1729, making paper for Benjamin Franklin and for Continental currency. After the Civil War, papermaking moved to larger mills at the nearby settlement of Glen Mills.
The anchors are a short drive apart. Concordville sits at the US 1 and US 202 crossroads with Wegmans and the Shoppes at Brinton Lake. Newlin Grist Mill keeps about 150 acres of meadow and trails, and Clayton County Park is Delaware County's largest county park. The Chester Creek Trail follows an old rail line, and Booths Corner Farmers Market fills every Friday and Saturday.
Here is what makes buying here distinct. The 19342 ZIP code covers parts of several townships in two counties, and more than one school district. The Garnet Valley School District serves Concord and Bethel townships and Chester Heights Borough. I confirm the district, taxes and utilities for every address before you write an offer.

I work with Keller Williams through KW Empower and hold licenses in Pennsylvania (RS-348119), Delaware (RS-0025567) and Maryland (5001082). I serve Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties, the City of Philadelphia, the State of Delaware and Cecil County, Maryland. Here, that means Glen Mills, Concordville, Garnet Valley and Chester Heights.
Jim took a stressful process and made it stress free and easy.
How past clients describe working with Jim · Zillow review
My marketing approach for sellers starts with the numbers. In late August 2026, four of the six 19342 closings Redfin lists sold above their asking price, and one sold 20% over. Others sat and sold under list. I price from closed sales and prepare the home before it goes live, so yours lands in the first group.
My recognition comes from inside Keller Williams: Market Center Rookie of the Year, Market Center MVP 2025, Cultural Ambassador and Team MVP. My career production stands at 200 units and $75 million in volume. I share these as a record of work, not a ranking.
The part of this job I value most is the relationship. My goal is to understand what each client actually needs, then stay their resource long after the closing. Many of my clients come back for their next move, or send a friend.

Glen Mills 19342
I represent buyers and sellers in Glen Mills, Concordville, Garnet Valley and Chester Heights, from first condos to estate homes.
View homes for saleLicensed in three states, team leader of Next Move Delaware Valley, and recognized as Market Center MVP 2025.
As of September 2026, homes in Glen Mills 19342 sold at a median of $597,000 over the three months ending July, down 15.3% from a year earlier, while price per square foot rose 13.8% to $293. Redfin counted 21 sales in the past month, and four of the six late-August closings sold at or over list. At the median with 20% down and Freddie Mac's 7.03% average, principal and interest run about $3,187 a month, and the 2.34% median effective tax rate adds roughly $1,164.
My read: The headline drop is mostly a mix shift: more condos and smaller homes sold, so the median fell while value per foot rose. For buyers, the payment on the median home is actually lower than last year. The big local swing is taxes, which change with the township and school district.

Each reading below is tagged by which side it helps. Sources differ in period, so each card states its own.
Realtor.com data put the median at 42 days on market in May 2026, about 5% slower than a year earlier. Well-priced homes still move: four of the six closings Redfin listed for late August sold at or above list, one at 20% over.
At Redfin's $597,000 median with 20% down and a 7.03% rate, principal and interest run about $3,187 a month. Property tax at the 2.34% median effective rate adds about $1,164, before insurance and HOA dues.
It depends on the measure. Redfin's median sale price fell 15.3% while price per square foot rose 13.8%, which points to smaller homes selling, not falling values. Zillow's typical value rose about 3.2%.

$303less per month than last year
Redfin's median sale price fell 15.3%, which more than offset the rate rising from 6.30% to 7.03% on the median home.
Why it matters: part of the drop is a mix shift to smaller homes, so compare like for like before you count on it.
Redfin and Freddie Mac · 20% down on the median
4 of 6late-August closings at or over list
One estate home on Nathaniel Court sold 20% over its list price in August 2026.

$293per sq ft, up 13.8%
Redfin's price per square foot rose 13.8% over the three months ending July 2026, even as the median sale price fell.

Taxes here have three layers: Delaware County, your township or borough, and your school district. The school district is by far the largest share, so the same price can mean a different bill a mile apart.
Your bill is assessed value times the combined millage, divided by 1,000. On Delaware County's 2026 chart, totals in the Garnet Valley district are 25.1141 mills in Chester Heights, 25.4483 in Concord and 26.1055 in Bethel. The 2025-26 school share is about 19.9 to 20.1 mills.
Sources: Delaware County 2026 tax rates; Concord Township tax information, accessed .Approved homesteads in the district all receive the same assessment reduction on the school bill, credited directly on the tax bill. The district also allows installment payments under Act 1 of 2006. Qualifying seniors can apply for the state Property Tax/Rent Rebate.
Sources: Garnet Valley tax information; Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, accessed .In Concord, Delaware County bills are mailed February 1, township bills February 15 and Garnet Valley school bills July 1. The district's real estate transfer tax is 0.5%, on top of the state and local shares.

Jim is amazing to work with. We had originally started our journey before the pandemic, and as a young home buyer at the time (20) we didn’t know what to expect. He was very patient with us and even though we didn’t buy the first home we saw with him, he kept in touch with us as well as helped us lock down our new home in 2022. Him and his team are amazing to work with, and helped us with any issues we made along the way

Jim made the process of buying a new home and selling our old home easy and painless. He was able to get us into the first house we looked at! He was then able to help sell our condo without needing to list it and worry about showings. Jim took a stressful process and made it stress free and easy.

We got so lucky with Jim. As first time home buyers we had no idea what to expect and no idea what we were doing. Jim never got annoyed by my seemingly endless questions and he was always comfortable sharing his opinion which is something we valued. He was also willing to make any day or time work for a viewing which was so important when houses were selling in days. We truly could not have bought a home in this market without his assistance.

Architecture
The 19342 housing stock runs from 18th-century stone farmhouses to townhome and condo communities and estate homes on acreage. Price follows lot size and school district as much as square footage.
Photography is royalty-free from Pexels and shows Pennsylvania and East Coast homes in the styles you will tour, not specific listings. Sale figures come from Redfin recent sales for August 2026.
These six pockets show how wide the 19342 market runs. I check the school district, tax rate and HOA rules for any address before you fall in love with it.

Buying or selling a home is one of the largest financial moves most people make. You deserve someone who tells you the truth, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.
My clients describe the process as calm and organized. That comes from preparation: knowing the comparable sales, the school district and the tax bill before we ever write an offer or set a price.
Start The Conversation
You will always know where things stand. I explain each step before it happens and put the important numbers in writing.
Promise · 01
Call or text me from 8 AM to 8 PM and you reach me, not a call center. Questions get answered the same day.
Promise · 02
I negotiate as if it were my own money, from the offer to the inspection credits. Your goals set the plan, not my calendar.
Promise · 03
Four steps, one point of contact. Whether you are buying your first condo or selling an estate home, the process stays the same and so does the communication.
Call, text or use the form. I learn your timeline, budget and must-haves in a short first conversation.
Buyers get a search plan and a lender introduction. Sellers get a written price range and marketing plan.
I tour with you and review every home in writing, or I launch your listing with photos, pricing and showings lined up.
I manage inspections, appraisal and the title company so settlement day holds no surprises. Then I hand you the keys.
There is no single best agent for everyone in the Garnet Valley School District, and I would be wary of anyone who claims the title. Judge agents on recent sales in Concord, Bethel and Chester Heights, how they price from closed comparables, how fast they answer and what verified reviews say. Interview two or three. I hold a 5.0 rating across 22 Zillow reviews and will share my recent numbers.
The Garnet Valley School District serves Concord and Bethel townships and Chester Heights Borough with five schools. Children attend Concord Elementary (K to 2) and Garnet Valley Elementary (3 to 5), or Bethel Springs Elementary (K to 5), then Garnet Valley Middle School and Garnet Valley High School. A Glen Mills mailing address does not guarantee the district, because 19342 also reaches Unionville-Chadds Ford and West Chester Area parcels. I confirm assignment before you offer.
Multiply the Delaware County assessed value by the combined millage and divide by 1,000. On the county's 2026 chart, combined rates are 25.1141 mills in Chester Heights, 25.4483 in Concord and 26.1055 in Bethel, and the school share is about 20 mills. School bills arrive July 1. A homestead exclusion lowers the school portion on a primary home.
Since August 2024, buyers sign a written agreement with their agent before touring homes through the MLS. That agreement states what the agent is paid and who pays it. Every fee is negotiable, and a seller may offer to cover some or all of it. I walk you through the agreement line by line before we start.
Yes. I have helped families buy from out of state using live video tours, same-day inspection reports and electronic signatures. Many title companies can arrange a remote or mail-away closing. We plan one in-person visit if you can manage it, but it is not required. Because I am licensed in Pennsylvania and Delaware, I can also coordinate a move across the state line.
Center City is about 25 miles from Concordville, roughly 40 to 50 minutes by car off peak via US 1, US 322 and I-95. Rush hour can add a lot. Many commuters drive about ten minutes to Wawa Station on Baltimore Pike, the end of SEPTA's Media/Wawa Line since August 2022. Check SEPTA's current schedule for ride times.
Walk more than 8 miles of trails through a park of about 150 acres on South Cheyney Road. The 1704 stone mill still stands, and staff demonstrate Colonial crafts such as millwrighting and blacksmithing. There is a fishing pond, a mill race and seasonal naturalist programs. The park and trails are generally open daily from 7 AM to 7 PM; check before you go.
Wegmans at 100 Applied Bank Boulevard, at the US 1 and US 202 crossroads, covers most weekly shopping. Booths Corner Farmers Market at 1362 Naamans Creek Road sells produce, meats and baked goods on Fridays and Saturdays. GIANT has announced a new store at the planned Shoppes at Concord on US 202.
Newlin Grist Mill has more than 8 miles of trails. Clayton County Park is Delaware County's largest county park, set mostly in Concord Township. The Chester Creek Trail runs about 2.8 paved miles from Lenni Road to Chester Creek Road along an old rail line, with trailhead parking off Lenni Road and Knowlton Road.
