Alsace, or Alsace Township, is a small, steady rural community in northeastern Berks County, just outside Reading, known for its farmland, preserved open space and close-knit feel. Founded in the mid-1700s, Alsace has maintained a stable population of just under 4,000 residents, according to the 2020 U.S. Census, while protecting its pastoral identity through thoughtful development rules. Homes for sale in Alsace Township move at a reliable pace and are primarily single-family properties, ranging from fixer-uppers in the $100,000s to move-in-ready houses typically priced between $200,000 and $600,000, often on spacious lots. The township is served by the Oley Valley School District, where students have access to K-12 education and specialized STEM programs, plus nearby career training options at the Berks Career and Technology Center. Outdoor recreation is a major draw, with local spots like Alsace Manor Park and the Ruth Zimmerman Natural Area, along with Antietam Lake Park just minutes away.
