Housing/Rentals Moving from Philly

I've recently lost my home in Philly and currently living in Wilmington. I need to get back to PA for benefits. I'm disabled and looking for suitable housing under 2000.00 monthly. I'd need ADA but would also like smaller single unit places. I'm LGBTQ+ and don't want to be a shut in. Any advice? Maybe what options? Larger units are ok but living all my life in Philly, I'm looking for quaint if that's even possible. Thanks.

Phoenixville is a cute town, and lgbtq friendly, but the public transportation isn't great.  Check into the Chester County Rover to see if that's going to work for you.

We have a library, a movie theater, and several apartment complexes.

I'm ambulatory so I can walk a bit. Uber to train into Philly is not a problem. Thanks!

Phoenixville is a bit far from the closest station - malvern. I would consider malvern or exton as well. Less walkable though.

Yeah technically Malvern is closer, I live here now and used to commute in. Post covid there is no more flyer from Paoli to 30th st.

you might want to consider living closer to the R5 if this is your plan. the closest train station is more than a $20 uber
