The birthplace of Daniel Boone
Pineland Park, 3 miles from home, offers a skate park, playground and picnic pavilions. The park also hosts local sports organizations on its well-maintained baseball and soccer fields.

Both a museum and historic home, the homestead offers exhibits, programs and tours. The 579-acre site includes six 18th-century structures, a lake, a picnic area and recreational facilities.

Direct commute by car
East Penn Manufacturing and Reading Hospital are the leading employers in Reading. Though there are a couple of bus stops within walking distance — including one at Walmart, which is less than a mile away — most residents rely on their cars to commute to work. Reading is a 30-minute drive via U.S. Route 422 from Exeter. The neighborhood also has easy access to Pennsylvania Route 562. Residents must drive 16 miles to Reading Regional-Carl A. Spaatz Field International Airport.Close to Reading for shopping
Residents can drive 1-1/2 miles via backroads to go grocery shopping at Redner's Warehouse Markets. There are plenty of dining and shopping options in Reading. Exeter Commons, a 1-mile drive, has a Target and a Lowe's as well as several chain stores and restaurants like Five Below and Red Robin. "Boscov's is very popular with the locals," Williams says. Less than a mile's drive, the family-owned department store has 50 locations across the northeast.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
