Very Horribly Bad 1.5 rating By Anonymous ( Sep 01, 2018) I grew up here in my childhood. I grew up here Kindergarten through the 8th grade. I tried to attend the Pottstown School District for Kindergarten. It was so bad that I switched within the first month to go to the Blessed of Teresa of Calcutta Educational Center in Limerick. ...Read More Even though I lived in Pottsgrove which isn't that bad of a neighborhood for Pottstown, it still wasn't good. There were two incidents on my street. One, a pit bull attacked a bunch of pedestrians passing by. And there was a shooting on my street at a Rita's. Not a very good place to live. Read Less

Lil ole town 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 16, 2018) Great small town feel! It's definitely not country, but it is still close enough to Philadelphia's "cheese-steak haven."

Breweries Are Popping Up 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I loved living in Pottstown PA. Living in Pottstown was living in a quiet little town in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I found Pottstown to be one of the best areas for an outdoorsy person like myself. The Perkiomen Trail would take me to the Schuykill River Trail that would take ...Read More me to the Art Museum in Philadelphia. The trail would take me to Reading if I headed the other way. I could take the train partially back if the 30 miles became too far.

Living in Pottstown allowed me to expand my beer tasting knowledge by visiting one the breweries in the afternoons. The people were fun and the atmosphere was contagious and entertainment was offered.

Another one of the best things in about living in Pottstown would be the all the shopping conveniently available. The outlet mall was right there! If I preferred the bigger mall, the largest mall on the East Coast, it was only a short drive away. Read Less
