Along the Schuylkill River, Pottsgrove is a rural-suburban community ideal for living in quiet seclusion without being isolated from city conveniences and diversions. “You have to mention downtown whenever you’re talking about any neighborhood near Pottstown,” says Jennifer Davidheiser, an agent with The Real Estate Professionals, a family-owned firm established in the Pottstown area 30 years ago. The neighborhood is only minutes from downtown Pottstown, where new beer gardens, boutique shops and businesses have opened along the High Street corridor. But being on the outskirts means that Pottsgrove residents still get to live on tree-lined streets among peaceful parks.

On the higher end, near the back nine of the Brookside Country Club, larger colonial-style homes built in the past decade with more than 3,000 square feet of living space along a more suburban, sidewalk-lined street have recently sold for upward of $550,000.
