Area Guide
Southwest Reading, halfway between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, provides easy access to major transportation routes. Rental homes and apartments are plentiful. The friendly neighbors meet at City Park for summer concerts, or at the weekly farmers' market, as well as a night market held in conjunction with First Friday art strolls. The area abounds with covered bridges and hex-signed barns, so locals love to gather and tour these historic buildings. Converted factories in Reading introduced outlet mall shopping to the country in the 1970s, and shopping options remain convenient.
Six miles northwest of the neighborhood, outdoor enthusiasts find fishing, boating, horseback riding, hiking, and boating opportunities at Blue Marsh Lake. Sports fans gather at Brewer's Bar and Grill, and for a great cup of joe and a donut before beginning Saturday's errands, locals meet up at Benchwarmers Coffee Co.
