Back in the summer of 2013, Howell presented the West Chester Area School District with a rough concept plan to develop a portion of their remaining lands at the Bayard Rustin High School Site.

The plan proposed 50 single family homes, over 30 acres of open space, a multi-purpose athletic field and a walking trail. Now almost ten years later, Rustin Walk, as it has been officially named, is finally complete. The site is located northwest of the Rustin High School and has its own access off Shiloh Road. Throughout the Conditional Use and Land Development process, Howell worked closely with the School District and Westtown Township to create a community that met ordinance requirements, but also preserved the sensitive natural resources of the site, provided an area for active and passive recreation and most importantly provided a viable, highly sought after project. Each home sits on a 1/4 to 1/3 acre lot and is serviced by public water and sewer.
