Phoenixville Ranked 5th Most Exciting Place in Pennsylvania

PHOENIXVILLE, PA -- Phoenixville has been named among the 10 most exciting places in Pennsylvania by national real estate blog Movoto.

Movoto also recognized nearby Chester County borough West Chester on the list.

To come up with their list, Movoto analyzed things like nightlife, live music venues, parks, movie theaters, non-fast food restaurants, young residents, and population density.

Using this criteria, Phoenixville ranked fifth in the entire state.

Here's what they had to say about the borough:

"This borough of just over 16,000 is like Burning Man meets suburbia in a classic movie with a kick-butt soundtrack. In other words, not only did Phoenixville rank well in our analysis for its nightlife, music venues, and arts options per capita, but it’s also home to the bonfire Firebird Festival each year, and the Colonial Theatre, where scenes from the classic movie “The Blob” were filmed! If that’s not exciting enough for you, Phoenixville also came in high for its active life options. So you see, Burning Man meets suburbia in a classic movie, with a kick-butt soundtrack. Boom."
