Beech-Wilson offers a neighborhood with historic charm
Beaming with historic charm, Beech-Wilson feels like an escape to the turn of the 20th century. Homes from the late 1800s to the early 1900s are found from Beech Street to the south and Wilson Street to the north. Gary Pace, real estate agent with Zuber Realty, has lived in the neighborhood since 1974. He says, “The homes are the biggest attraction. All of my clients fall in love with the architecture. If they built houses like these today, they would be a million dollars. But they’re much more affordable and full of rich character that you can’t get from a new home.”

Mike's Brick Oven Pizza and Urban's are dining staples
Not only have the neighborhood homes been around for a while, but so have some of the local businesses. While there aren’t many businesses, most are on N Charlotte Street, including North End Florist, which has been selling flowers to the community since 1985. There’s also Mike’s Brick Oven Pizza, a popular spot for pizza, cheesesteaks and other comfort Italian dishes for decades. Newer restaurants like Urban’s, a casual spot for breakfast and lunch, opened in 2022. “That building used to be a bar until it went out of business about 50 years ago. It’s been sitting empty ever since, so it’s really nice to see how Urban’s has brought it back to life.” Urban’s isn’t entirely new to the area. The restaurant started out making wood-fired pizza from a food truck about 10 years ago and continues to do so today, so they're frequently seen around Pottstown.
For a fresh slice and a soda, locals head to Mike's Brick Oven Pizza in Beech-Wilson.
Urban's in Beech-Wilson is perfect for family breakfasts or lunches with friends.
