Chester County Pennsylvania USDA Loan

What areas of Chester County are eligible for the USDA Mortgage Program?

As expected, the areas in Chester County that are restricted from this program can mainly be found in the eastern portions of the county closer to Philadelphia and portions of the populated Route 30 corridor running from Berwyn through Coatesville.  Once you travel west of Coatesville, the rest of Chester County opens up as geographically eligible for the No Down Payment USDA Program. You don’t have to travel too far north or south of the Route 30 corridor to reach USDA Eligible areas. Large portions of Chester County, including Kennett Square and Oxford, are in a USDA eligible area.

 

The Route 30 Corridor and the eastern part of Chester County approaching the Philadelphia metro area is Not Eligible for USDA Financing. The rest of Chester County is eligible.
