Yes, Devon is a good place to live if you want top public schools and a quick drive to work along Route 202. Devon is in the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District, has a train station and everyday shopping, and is home to one of the country’s oldest horse shows. It is especially good for families and for people who work in King of Prussia. Buyers on a tighter budget may find more value farther west in Paoli or Malvern.
What Devon is like
Devon is an unincorporated community in Easttown Township, Chester County, between Wayne and Berwyn on the Upper Main Line. It feels residential and settled, with tree-lined streets and homes ranging from townhomes to large houses on wooded lots. Lancaster Avenue has the shops, and the neighborhoods spread north and south of it.
Schools
Devon is in the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District (T/E). Most homes are assigned to Devon Elementary, some to Hillside Elementary, and all attend Conestoga High School. Private options close by include Devon Preparatory School, a Catholic school for boys in grades 6 to 12, and the elementary campus of Delaware County Christian School.
The Horse Show and daily life
The Devon Horse Show and Country Fair has been held every spring since 1896 and benefits Bryn Mawr Hospital. For residents, it is a local tradition, and it also means extra traffic for about 11 days in late May and early June.
Day to day, Lancaster Avenue near Devon has a Whole Foods Market and other shops, and Wayne’s downtown is about 5 minutes away. Jenkins Arboretum, just north of town, offers free woodland gardens and walking paths.
What homes cost
In ZIP 19333, Zillow’s typical single-family home value was about $1.20 million in August 2026, up about 9 percent over the year, one of the larger gains on the Main Line. Across all home types, the least expensive third of homes was valued at about $385,000 and the most expensive third at about $1.63 million. Condominiums and townhomes make up much of the lower end.
Getting around
Devon station on SEPTA’s Paoli/Thorndale Line is about 16.4 rail miles from Suburban Station, and weekday trains take roughly 40 minutes. By car, King of Prussia is about 11 minutes away and Center City about 35 minutes without traffic.
Points to consider
- Prices climbed quickly over the past year, so careful pricing matters for buyers and sellers alike.
- School taxes are rising. T/E’s 2026-27 rate is about $388 more for the average home.
- Horse Show traffic each spring along Lancaster Avenue.
- Township by address. Easttown has a 2 percent transfer tax, while some nearby Tredyffrin addresses pay 2.5 percent.
Who Devon is right for
Devon suits families who want T/E schools, people who work in King of Prussia or along Route 202, and buyers who want an established Main Line setting a few minutes from Wayne. To compare nearby towns, see Berwyn and Wayne, or the Devon community page.
