Malvern Borough combines a walkable King Street downtown, Victorian character, SEPTA Regional Rail, historic parks and a varied housing market across the wider 19355 area.
Malvern Borough is a 1.3-square-mile municipality in Chester County, approximately 25 miles west of Philadelphia. King Street forms its pedestrian-friendly downtown, with Victorian facades, brick paving, restaurants, shops, civic buildings and Malvern Station on SEPTA’s Paoli/Thorndale Regional Rail Line. The borough was incorporated in 1889 and retains a distinct small-town identity shaped by rail history and nearby Revolutionary War sites.
The Malvern mailing address and ZIP code 19355 extend well beyond the borough into East Whiteland, Willistown, Charlestown and other nearby areas. Housing, taxes, zoning, school assignments, transit access and neighborhood character vary substantially, so buyers should confirm the exact municipality and school assignment for each property.
The Meghan Chorin Team brings more than 20 years of Chester County and Main Line experience and over $1 billion in closed transactions. In Malvern, the team evaluates each property by municipality, school assignment, housing type, condition, lot characteristics, association terms, transit access and current comparable sales.
