Phoenixville has risen from the rust to become one of Chester County’s most-sought-after communities because of its faith, feistiness and many faces — fostered by an “unbelievable ability to accept new people” and an unbeatable spirit of volunteerism, Phoenix Village developer Manny DeMutis said. For him, architecture and construction alone hold no allure. The real draw to Phoenixville is “the reward that you get from working really, really hard — dumping a lot of blood, sweat and tears into stuff — and then seeing the end result.”
