What's It Actually Like in Unionville?
A National Register historic district
The Unionville Village Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, which is a fair indication of how much of the original village fabric is still standing.
The school district that carries the name
Unionville-Chadds Ford School District is headquartered on Unionville Road and spans roughly 77 square miles across seven townships in two counties — so the name reaches far beyond the village itself.

What school district serves Unionville?
East Marlborough Township is served by Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. Verify the exact school assignment for the specific property address before you buy.
What are property taxes like in Unionville?
A Chester County property tax bill generally combines three separate taxes — county, municipal and school district — applied to the county assessed value of that individual property. Assessments, exemptions and millage rates differ by property and are set each year, so the only reliable number is the one for the specific address. Ask for the current tax detail on any home you're considering and verify it with the county and the taxing bodies. This is general information, not tax or legal advice.
What you'll actually find in Unionville
The village core is historic and small. Around it, East Marlborough Township is low-density, with detached homes and rural and agricultural properties on larger lots. Expect to be comparing a handful of distinctive properties rather than a deep inventory of similar ones.
The local detail people miss
People searching "Unionville" are usually searching the school district
Because UCFSD spans about 77 square miles across seven townships in Chester and Delaware Counties, a home in the district may be nowhere near the village of Unionville, and may carry a Kennett Square, West Chester or Chadds Ford mailing address. If the district is the goal, search by district boundary and verify the assignment for the specific parcel — the mailing name will not tell you.

That is the municipality of record for taxes, permits and services — not Unionville.
