West Acres has the architectural variety and mature residential character buyers expect from an older Yardley neighborhood. Built from the early 1940s through the mid-1950s, the homes were not developed around one uniform floor plan. Original designs, later additions, renovations, exterior styles, and lot placement create noticeable differences from one property to another.
The neighborhood includes detached homes with 2 to 5 bedrooms and approximately 1,700 to 3,900 square feet on lots of about 0.4 to 0.7 acres. Basements are common, including finished and walkout lower levels, and buyers may find either 1- or 2-car garages. Decks, patios, porches, fenced yards, and private backyard areas are also found throughout West Acres.
Because the homes vary considerably in size and renovation history, buyers should look closely at usable living space, additions, garage configuration, lot characteristics, and the condition of major systems when comparing properties.
What Buyers Should Compare in West Acres
The broad range of home sizes is one of the biggest factors when comparing West Acres properties. A smaller 2-bedroom home near 1,700 square feet provides a very different layout and ownership experience from a larger residence approaching 3,900 square feet. Additions and finished lower levels can further change the amount and usefulness of the living space.
Renovation quality deserves the same attention as appearance. Buyers should consider kitchens and bathrooms along with roofs, windows, heating and cooling equipment, electrical service, plumbing, foundations, basements, and any additions made over the years.
Outside, lot placement, usable yard space, privacy, drainage, landscaping, fencing, driveway configuration, decks, patios, and porches can distinguish one property from another. Looking at the complete home and lot provides a much better comparison than relying only on bedroom count or advertised square footage.
Schools Serving West Acres
West Acres is served by the Pennsbury School District. The neighborhood is associated with Makefield Elementary School, William Penn Middle School, and Pennsbury High School.
