Manatawny-Farmington is an idyllic neighborhood within the historic borough of Pottstown in Montgomery County. Pottstown is situated along the Schuylkill River, boasting homes that exude a timeless charm.
Set on rectangular narrow lots, homes in the community are closely packed next to one another, where you’re never too far from your neighbors. Central features such as brick exteriors, inviting front porches and steeply pitched roofs embellished with ornate shingles and facades add to the neighborhood's character. This historic enclave’s major architectural styles inclue Second-Empire, classic American Four Square and Shot-gun style homes for your choosing. You’ll find modest cape cod retreats and newer traditional constructions alongside these turn-of-the-century homes. Some streets offer driveways, while others utilize street parking.

Spanning 70 acres, Memorial Park is a small-town greenspace hub of recreational activities and community spirit. You’ll find several baseball fields, a splash zone, playgrounds and ample room for summer picnics. There is also a BMX track and skatepark for daredevils ready for a thrill. When residents aren't coming here to walk with their dogs on the trail or find quiet time at the War Memorial, they gather for annual town events. Residents flock to attend the firework celebration for the Pottstown GoFourth Festival, with food trucks and activities for the kids. The Pottstown Pet Fair is a celebration of furry companions across town featuring handmade pet treats and toys.
When you want to grab a bite to eat, Tornettas Pizzeria is the place to go for its old-school pies including their savory Hot Jawn pizza drizzled with sweet Mikes Hot Honey. Ice House on King Street is an ideal spot for loaded cheese steaks, Italian hoagies and even funnel cake fries.. Off North Charolette Street, you’ll find a sweet place to start your mornings; Honey's Homebrewed Café is dishing out breakfast bagels and their signature Honey Bee Cold Brew. You’ll also find familiar chains like Starbucks and Chilis.
Manatawny-Farmington's history and outdoor appeal are complemented by its convenient location. PA 100 runs directly through the neighborhood, providing easy access to neighboring communities. Residents can shop for groceries at Giant, while Upland Square Shopping Center is a one-stop destination for errands, with a Ross, Petco, Staples, Burlington and LA Fitness.
After a day at the park or grabbing dinner, gather loved ones and head to AMC for the latest movie releases or Downtown Pottstown for access to breweries, a variety of restuarants and the scenic Pottstown Riverfront Park.
Whether watching the sunrise on your porch or finding solace at the park, settling down Manatawny-Farmington is the place for those searching for a piece of history to call their own.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
