Cressona, PA Home for Rent

Along a bend of the West Branch Schuylkill River, Cressona is lined with several residential streets on the outskirts of Schuylkill Haven. The community is weaved into the landscape close to where Pennsylvania Routes 183 and 61 meet, which respectively connect it to Reading and Allentown. Locals are drawn to Cressona’s small-town atmosphere, epitomized by events put on by the Good Will Hose Company. “People like the school district and it’s more of a community vibe there,” says Nada Laguna, a Realtor with EveryHome Realtors. “The fire company holds different events for people to come to, like bingo every week.” A Hydro Extrusions aluminum plant, situated on the banks of the river, is one of the area’s largest employers. “Hydro used to be the biggest employer in Schuylkill County,” Laguna says. The facility still staffs over 1,000 workers. Cressona offers a variety of housing styles on residential streets near the river. Single-family homes typically have ranch-style or Cape Cod architecture, though some custom designs and farmhouse-style homes are mixed in as well. “Single-family, ranch-style homes in that area are in the $200,000 to $250,000 range, depending on condition,” Laguna
