The feel
The borough has an old main street along Lancaster Avenue and steady new investment, while surrounding East Caln, Uwchlan and Upper Uwchlan offer a wide range of subdivisions built from the 1980s onward.
Downingtown Area School District — including the STEM Academy — is a major reason families focus their search here.
