Surrounded by Chester Township, Chester Borough is a small, historic community of quaint shops, fine antique stores, craft boutiques, remarkable churches, and lovely homes.  Charming neighborhoods create a delightful contrast to the area’s picturesque farms.  The township offers a decidedly rural environment that harmonizes secluded estates, well-preserved historic homes, and exclusive single-family residences on meticulously landscaped lots.  The area is characterized by open space, new development, vast acres of state and county parks, and well-developed recreational facilities.  One of the highlights for new residents is the “Neighbors & Newcomers of Chester” group, where more than 200 family members plan social activities and events for the community.  Route 206, Interstates 287 and 80, and bus or train service to New York City provide transportation efficiencies.
