Robeson is a small, peaceful township nestled in the Hopewell Big Woods, the largest contiguous forest in southwest Pennsylvania. The area is approximately 11 miles north of Reading, and the Schuylkill River is bound to the north. "Robeson is a very rural area of both older and newer homes," says Realtor/assistant broker at United Real Estate Strive 212 Marisol Torres, who has sold multiple homes in the area. "Many houses date back to 1900." Torres says buyers are attracted to the area for its natural setting and easy highway access.

Recreation on the Schuylkill River
Residents must leave the neighborhood for parks and recreation. A local favorite for hiking is the Ephraim Malickson Wildlife Sanctuary, which is almost 200 acres in Birdsboro in the Schuylkill Highlands region. It is a 2-mile drive through local roads. Residents drive 8 miles via Pennsylvania Interstate-10 to hike, fish, camp and bike at French Creek State Park. The 7,730-acre park comprises forests, lakes, wetlands and fields: homes to animals and plants that are considered rare in this area. Consequently, the National Audubon Society has designated the park as An Important Bird Area, and the Pennsylvania Game Commission has designated it as an Important Mammal Area. The park sits on the shore of the 68-acre Lake Hopewell, where residents can kayak. Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site is a 10-mile drive via Pennsylvania Interstate 345 South. This scenic and tranquil site showcases an early American landscape of industrial operations from 1771 to 1883.
Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site is tucked into the preserved woods of Robeson.

A peaceful existence
In the 1700s, Robeson Township was home to early settlers and native Americans who lived together peacefully. Andrew Robeson, Jr. bought 600 acres in 1716 but never lived on it. However, his son Israel Robeson inhabited the land. In 1729 Robeson Township was established, named for either Andrew or Israel.
Robeson, Pennsylvania, sits along the Schuylkill River.
Robeson is home to many nature preserves including Berks Nature Ephraim Malickson Sanctuary.

Surrounding areas offer lots of dining choices
Boyer's Market is a 6-mile drive on local roads. "Residents need to drive out of the neighborhood for dining," Torres says. The Ugly Oyster, 12.5 miles via Pennsylvania Interstate 76 North, is the oldest pub in Berks County. The original building where the pub is located was founded in the 1700s. Franklyn's Breakfast Burgers & Shakes is a 13-mile drive via I-76 N. As the name suggests, the eatery serves eggs, burgers, shakes and more. Locals drive 7 miles to Italia Delight in Birdsboro for pizza, pasta and cannolis.
