Just a quick observation that may be of interest to Rhondda homeowners. While reviewing the local market, I noticed that a two bedroom townhome in a community very similar to Rhondda sold in 9 days! Is there a seller’s market forming in this price range ??? Could it be due to the tax credit ??? Want to be a part of it ? Ask us how !

Chester County LibraryChester County looks like the winter weather hasn’t left us yet. I wish for a day of hot chocolate, a warm blanket, and a capturing book !
I love free resources that give value. The Chester County Library System is a great example. It is one of the best that I’ve experienced as far as a public library goes. I know many people aren’t reading with those old fashioned spiny things with pages to turn instead of click… but in my opinion, those books will always adorn shelves and feel good in my hands.
The closest library to the Rhondda Community is the main branch near Exton Square Mall. Parking is a bear – but the turnover is fairly quick – so be patient 
For other Chester County Library Locations check out their website here.
Oh! And if you do like to listen to audio books, did you know about the free downloads of books you can get on their website for members? They have many titles – check out the Audio Library here.
Many free resources are available through the library – story hours, free classes, online databases, book reservations, movies, so much more!

Two ponds are nestled in the heart of Rhondda, just off Newcomen Road. The one closest to the road is clearly visible to people driving by. Passengers may catch a glimpse of ducks or geese as the flock makes a stop on their way to somewhere. One of my favorite sights is when the moon is full and the reflection is on the water. On a cold winter night when snow covers the land, it is breathtaking!
The pond closest to the club house is home to “Tank”. He is a huge snapping turtle with a shell about two feet across. He appeared on one of my granddaughter’s frequent visits to the pond. She and her mother were pond gazing one day when all of sudden he appeared. After that day, their walks were to go see Tank but he did not show his face at every visit. After all, as Yertle the Turtle explains, “I know up on the top you are seeing great sights, but down at the bottom we, too, should have rights.” (Dr. Seuss) That tells me we should not go to great lengths to find Tank but just let it up to him whether or not he is seen.
We are curious, have you seen “Tank”?

I’m partial to snow… I don’t like to tell everyone that, cause I see the wide eyes gaze back to me like “AHHH, you’re crazy!” I like taking pictures of snow covered objects and I like watching from the warmth of my home. But, some people like to go out and travel … if you do, please stay safe!
Remember the road crews work hard to keep the roads cleaned off – and emergency workers need to get to work, so less is better for a while. I was in one of the many accidents on the 30 Bypass last week when another driver hit a patch of ice and lost control – it happens fast !
If you have somewhere you need to be, you can check out road conditions here on The Team website.
Stay warm!

One of the great things about the location of the Rhondda Community in Chester County is the proximity to lots of shopping options. OK, and food ! Not only Exton Square Mall and stores all along Rt 100, but also a strip mall right in the neighborhood…
The Colonial 100 shops right on Rt 100 (Pottstown Pike) even have a walkway you can access from Bausman Road. You can get to the Dry Cleaners, Hair Salon, Medical Center, Chester County Travel, and FOOD! Did I mention I like food? 
Our family often orders pizza (hoagies, salads too depending on the mood) from Rocco’s Pizza. But my favorite place of all is The Drafting Room for Sunday brunch. The Drafting Room, Exton is often my parents’ dinner out option. They offer really good food at fair prices. It’s fun just to see what the Chef’s specials are!
Just in case you like food too….
Drafting Room phone number (610) 363-0521.
Rocco’s Pizza phone number (610) 363-0405.
