Phoenixville is a pretty neat town and if you like craft breweries it can't be beat. Good restaurants, neat shops, near Valley Forge National Historic park, other historic places nearby. The town hosts a couple neat festivals every year with Blobfest probably being the highlight. Or maybe the burning of the Phoenix... Man, I miss that place.

That place used to be a shit hole but in like the last 10 years it became amazing. I love going to see classic movies at the colonial. I've seen princess bride, transformers the movie, time bandits, alien, so many amazing movies.

For sure. The borough did a great job of using tax abatements to bring businesses in and revitalize the town. I had looked to move there in 2008 because it was cheap but never found anything I liked at my price point. I didn't end up there until 2016 (renting) stayed for 6 years and loved it! When we were looking to buy we decided the we wanted more house for our money and moved out to a more country area.

They stopped the burning of the Phoenix this past year. People were pissed.
