[quote name='RBM']Does anyone live in/near the area of Limerick, PA? To be more specific, does anyone live within a 10 mile radius of the Limerick nuclear power plant? Pottstown, Lower Pottsgrove, East Coventry, Royersford, Schwenksville, Perkiomen, Collegeville..?
I am wavering over the notion of moving to Lower Pottsgrove/Collegeville, and with any luck, someone from the region will be able to tell me of positive/negative aspects of living there.[/QUOTE]
I rented an apartment in Phoenixville for a couple years before buying a home outside of Pottstown. I would have liked to have found a place around Royersford, but that area is just too high priced for me.
The biggest thing I would have to suggest that you may or may not have considered would be traffic. Route 422 sucks at rush hour. Try to find a place to live where you can avoid 422 and still have a decent commute to work. In general terms, housing prices drop the further north and west you go from King of Prussia. So Lower Pottsgrove is probably going to be cheaper than Collegeville. In my opinion though, Collegeville is a nicer area than Pottsgrove and probably has a better school district (caveat: I have no children and am basing my school impressions on other peoples' comments). Do you have a job lined up and if so in what town? Let me know if there's anything else specific you want to know.
