    Default Info on Douglassville

    My wife and I, along with Sister and Brother inlaw, are looking into moving to the Douglassville area. Anyone willing to give me their honest opinion of the area?
    Were in our late 50's I am a long time shooter/gun person. Is this a gun friendly location? How is the area crime wise?
    Love to play golf, ride my Harley. Looking for a 55 + community, perhaps gated. Not worried about employment. Were all retired.
    Any input would surely be appreciated.
    I forgot to mention, we are relocating from Long Island NY

    I don't live too far from Douglassville. You should PM ChamberedRound he is an Admin on the forum and lives in the Douglassville/Amityville area. Same with billamj.

    I'm in Pottstown, but I don't know crime rates in Douglassville. There are tons of golf courses in this area since you like to play golf. I know that there is a 55 retirement community outside of Pottstown in Stowe.

    Since you're married and presumed not to be on the prowl, no need to warn you about a crazy ex-girlfriend who lives there!

    The Douglasville area is not bad for crime. I have several friends that live there. Since you like to ride your Harley. Check out the Reading Motorcycle club. Just Google it. The club house in Oley is just around the corner from Douglasville.

    I live in Douglassville and I'm available to chat if you like. Nice area, low crime, HIGHEST taxes in Berks county.

    Housing is affordable, there's at least three gunclubs in the area that I can recommend as well.

    Not too close to the city of Philly but close enough to make the trip there if you are so inclined.

    PM me and I'll give you my contact information.

    422 is a nightmare if you go East in the morning and West in the evenings.

    More importantly is that Manatawny Creek Winery is nearby.
    Let's not forget there are still species of tropical penguins living in the Galapagos.
