Pottstown PA Homes for Sale

Pottstown PA homes for sale cover a lot of ground and four school districts, and The McKnight Team helps buyers and sellers narrow it down to the market that applies to them. Pottstown Borough is a town of about 22,000 on the Schuylkill River. The Pottstown mailing address also reaches across the three Pottsgrove townships, New Hanover, and a large stretch of northern Chester County. The figures on this page cover all of it, because that is how buyers search.

What the Pottstown Numbers Mean

Four hundred thirty homes closed in six months. The median was $305,000, seventy three percent of sellers got asking price or better and the average closed at 101.1 percent of list. The median went under contract in 6 days.

The county line is the biggest split on this address. The Montgomery County side closed 335 sales at a median of $305,000, and those are the sales counted on this page. The Chester County side is not included in this update. Which county a home sits in is the first thing to establish about any Pottstown property.

Pottstown Borough itself closed 173 sales at a median of $260,000, taking 8 days at 100.3 percent of list with 68 percent selling at or above asking. Every surrounding township ran higher on all three measures. The borough is the affordable core and the townships are where the price is.

Where Is Pottstown? County, Township, and Four School Districts

Pottstown Borough is in Montgomery County, in the 19464 ZIP code, on the Schuylkill River at the far western edge of the county near the Berks and Chester lines. The 19464 address stretches well past the borough into Lower, Upper and West Pottsgrove Townships, New Hanover, and across the county line into North Coventry and East Coventry in Chester County.

Four school districts serve that one mailing address. Pottstown School District covered 161 of the sales, Pottsgrove 142, Owen J Roberts 107 and Boyertown Area 11. A Pottstown listing tells you the post office and nothing about the district, the county or the tax rate, all three of which change the number.

What Is It Like to Live in Pottstown, PA?

The borough is a former industrial river town with a dense walkable grid, a downtown that has been under steady reinvestment, and the most affordable housing stock within reach of the Philadelphia suburbs. Rowhomes, twins and modest detached homes on small lots.

Drive five minutes in any direction and it changes completely. The Pottsgroves are conventional suburb with larger lots and newer subdivisions. New Hanover runs rural. Cross into North Coventry and East Coventry in Chester County and you are in Owen J Roberts territory with larger properties and higher prices. The Pottstown address covers all of it.

Neighborhoods on a Pottstown Address

Pottstown Borough

One hundred seventy three sales at a median of $260,000, the largest single submarket and the most affordable one. The Pottstown subdivision grouping alone closed 22 sales at a median of $245,000, mostly twins and singles. It is also the slowest part of the address at 8 days to contract, with 68 percent of sellers getting asking or better.

Coventry Glen and Manatawny Village

Two attached communities. Manatawny Village closed 9 at a median of $261,500 and Sanatoga Crossing closed 4 townhouses at $382,450. That is a $120,950 gap between two attached communities on the same postal city, which is why product type alone tells you very little here. Coventry Glen sits on the Chester County side, which is not counted in this update.

Ravens Claw and Pottsgrove Hunt

The detached side in the Pottsgrove townships. Ravens Claw closed 6 at a median of $585,500 and Pottsgrove Hunt closed 7 at $484,740. Detached homes on the Montgomery County side closed 210 sales at a median of $367,250, so both of these sit above the detached middle.

Walnut Ridge, Sanatoga Crossing, and Maple Ridge

The attached middle. Walnut Ridge Estates closed 6 townhouses at a median of $252,500 and Maple Ridge closed 5 at $271,000. Interior townhouses closed 45 sales at $260,700 and end of row units closed 22 at $299,950, a $39,250 end unit gap.

What Kinds of Homes Are for Sale in Pottstown?

Detached homes led with 210 of the 335 sales at a median of $367,250. Twins and semi detached closed 55 at $240,000, interior townhouses closed 45 at $260,700, and end of row townhouses closed 22 at $299,950. The median home that sold had 1,511 square feet above grade.

Sixty five of the 335 sales carried a homeowners association and 16 were age restricted. Sales ranged from $70,000 to $885,000. A quarter closed under $249,000, so a buyer can still find real inventory below $300,000.

New Construction in Pottstown

Details on the community, including what is offered and what it costs, are in our new construction section.

If you are considering a builder home, talk to us before your first model home visit. Most builders require your agent to be registered on that first visit, and the sales office works for the builder, not for you.

Four School Districts on One Address

Pottstown School District serves the borough and covered 173 sales. Pottsgrove covered 142 across the Pottsgrove townships. Owen J Roberts covered 107 on the Chester County side. Boyertown Area covered 11 at the northern edge.

The district sets the school portion of the property tax bill, and that is the largest line on the bill for nearly every homeowner here. On this address the county, the municipality and the district can all differ from what a buyer assumes, so confirm each one for the specific property rather than relying on a listing. For Montgomery County addresses, the 2026 rate for every municipality and the bill due dates are in our Montgomery County property tax guide.

What Buyers Should Know Right Now

Eighty homes for sale is deep inventory, and the median asking price on it is $260,000, below the closed median.

Decide on county and district before you decide on a house. A $300,000 budget buys in the borough. A larger budget reaches the Chester County side in Owen J Roberts. Both are Pottstown. The homes are not interchangeable and neither are the tax bills. With 67 homes already under contract, the well priced ones still move in under a week, so preparation matters even in a market with this much supply.

What Sellers Should Know Right Now

Seventy three percent of Pottstown sellers got asking or better and the average closed above list. With 335 sales behind you, you have a deep, specific comparable set for your exact street and product type.

Use it. The single most expensive mistake on this address is pricing a borough rowhome against a Chester County detached comparable, or the reverse. Those two trade far apart. Automated estimates average across four school districts and two counties here, which makes them less reliable in Pottstown.
