Small town feel with big city perks
Pottstown is a borough of about 23,000 people, located about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia, that offers quiet, suburban living and, until recently, not much else. However, with the slow and steady revitalization of downtown Pottstown, North End's residents benefit from a small-town feel with a burgeoning dining scene and the emergence of fun annual events that give this neighborhood a big-city flavor. “There have been stops and starts to the revitalization of downtown, but over the last seven or eight years, it’s been on an upswing,” says Brian Kelly, a real estate broker and the owner of Kelly Real Estate, who has been selling in Pottstown for over 30 years. “Because of that, there are a lot of cool restaurants and brew pubs.” Residents have easy access to downtown, but when they live in the north end, they get bigger yards and a quieter way of life. “It has a real Norman Rockwell feel,” Kelly says.
North End residents are a short drive from the beauty and recreation along the Schuylkill RIver.

Dining in downtown Pottstown
Dining is limited in the neighborhood, so locals head downtown to go out to eat. Stave and Sable is popular for its upscale dining, with meals like Elk Strip Loin and Seared Foie Gras. Off North Charlotte Street, Mike’s Brick Oven Pizza has been serving the area since 1999 and is a go-to for stromboli, cheese steaks and, of course, pizza. Closer to home, residents can walk to HG Palermo’s Pizza, located in the North End Shopping Center, and find pizza, plus burgers, hoagies and seafood dishes. Redner’s Warehouse Market is in the same shopping plaza and a convenient spot to pick up groceries.

Ranch-style, Minimal Traditional and Colonial houses are common
The homes in North End sit on spacious, grassy lots and vary in architectural style, from compact ranch-style and Minimal Traditional to bigger Colonials and Cape Cods. Most homes were built in the 1950s, but it’s possible to find some from the turn of the 20th century. While front yards are roomy, houses sit close enough to have a more suburban feel rather than a rural one. Mature trees dot sidewalks and line backyards, and the streets are wide and quiet. Prices range from $200,000 for three bedrooms and one bathroom to $425,000 for four bedrooms and two and a half baths. Those looking for a home with less upkeep can find condos and townhouses, ranging from $94,000 for two bedrooms and one bathroom to $208,000 for three bedrooms and one bathroom.
