Sanatoga is a relaxed community with lush parks, quiet residential streets and family-owned establishments tucked away, off the beaten path, in the Lower Pottsgrove Township. Mature trees shade its wide streets, many of which do not have sidewalks. “It’s a quiet suburb with more of a country feel,” says Jamie Wasniewski, a Realtor with Godfrey Properties who has been selling homes in the area for over 10 years. “It’s nice because you can experience the vibrant nightlife of all of the nearby towns and come back home to the quietness of Sanatoga.” Residents are situated between the bustling borough of Pottstown and the lively Limerick Township, with U.S. Route 422 providing easy access to the rest of Montgomery County and beyond. While Sanatoga covers less than 4 square miles, the village has its own retail corridor and green spaces for locals to explore.
