Royersford, PA (aka RoFo)

When I moved to Royersford, PA as a 15 year old coming from Northern Virginia I thought we were truly moving to the country. In 1999 there was no Kohls shopping center or Wawa at the 422 exit, Pope John Paul II high school was only rolling hills and the Spring Ford high school was brand new.
Over the years the area has developed (my family participated in growth by purchasing a new construction home in the area) and become more desirable based on the school ratings and convenience to both work and play.

The boro is being kept alive with stores and restaurants; Try Annamarie's famous breakfast menu or Giovanni's tasty Italian food. Iced by Betsy took over the unused train station a few years ago and continues to thrive as well as Sweet Ashley's Chocolate located right on Main St. Beth Anne's Flower and Calhouns Jewelers are perfect shops for a gifts.

Just outside the boro is Limerick and Upper Providence which offer even more shopping centers and restaurants, as well as schools, parks and one of my favorites- Renningers Farm (located right next to where I grew up) where you can pick your own fresh flowers and purchase locally grown fruits and vegetables.

Since this is my "hometown" I continue to sell homes in the area. Not surprisingly, they tend to sell pretty quickly! Here are two recent listings:

For Sale: Twin home asking $190,000
30-S-5TH-AVE-ROYERSFORD-PA-19468




















For Rent: Townhome located in Roboda development asking $1700 a month
15-ROBODA-BLVD-ROYERSFORD-PA-19468
