St Peter's Place

St Peter's Place sits in the heart of Phoenixville Borough, and it's been here since October 1985 with 50 senior housing units meant for older adults with modest means, so you'll find folks who want a bit of independence but also need a little extra support. Residents can use scheduled van trips for errands and go on community excursions, and there's a social service coordinator who keeps things running with weekly bingo, card games, fitness classes, religious studies, and trips to stores, restaurants, and doctor's offices, and there's always something like the annual Thanksgiving feast or summer cookout bringing everyone together, plus two van trips a year to the American Music Theater for those who enjoy it. The building has community spaces with a lounge, a big screen cable TV, a kitchen for group cooking, and two outdoor patios for sitting out with neighbors, along with laundry on every floor and a trash chute for convenience. Every apartment gets the basics like heat, air conditioning, water, sewer, trash, and electricity included in the rent, and folks can connect to Verizon or Comcast if they like, and safety is looked after with a buzz-in door system that residents can use by phone from their apartments, along with a 24-hour emergency maintenance line to call if something goes wrong. The whole place is within walking distance to the Senior Center and downtown, so you can go into town if you're able, or relax at home with new friends. The building gets inspected regularly by HUD and holds a 98B rating from a REAC inspection, which means the property keeps up high standards for safe, affordable living, but units fill up fast and there's a wait list for people who qualify by income. St Peter's Place tries to make everyone comfortable and support each person's needs, and organized activities aim to keep people engaged with the community and each other throughout the year.
