I have a new listing in Phoenixville, and as I do with all new listings, I've been spending a lot of time there. I've always loved this neck of the woods and my clients who move here often like to stay here. But if you've never ventured this far West or even heard of Phoenixville from your Center City seat, then let me introduce you! Indoor/Outdoor Photo courtesy of the Phoenixville Historical Society Phoenixville is such a wonderful outdoor town. Its a quaint steel town sandwiched between the Schuylkill River and two branches - the Pickering and French Creeks. Its surrounded by lovely farms to the West and Valley Forge Park and Valley Forge to the South. So its a mecca of outdoor fun, including... Port Providence Paddle - A lovely little kayak rental spot with low-key restaurant where you can paddle up and down the canal. Black Rock Sanctuary - Over 100 acres of wildlife refuge and trails on the North end of the borough. Also home to the boat launch
