Phoenixville

At the intersection of the Schuylkill River and French Creek, Phoenixville blends historic charm with a modern mindset. Today, the town of Phoenixville relies less on the manufacturing of nails and rails and more on its artsy, low-key vibe that attracts both visitors craving relaxation with a creative twist and residents looking to put down roots. Bridge Street — the town’s main drag — offers a mix of wine-tasting rooms, low-key restaurants and artsy, locally owned shops. Bridge Street is divided in the center of town by Main Street, home to boutique retail and food outlets.
