Located on the southwestern outskirts of Reading, the semi-rural community of Spring Township brings together the shopping and transportation conveniences of a traditional Northeastern suburb with the natural scenery of rural Pennsylvania. Here, large golf courses and dense thickets fill this community’s southern half, while farmland gives way to residential streets closer to the city. These features, as well as strong public schools, present a strong appeal for homebuyers seeking to move to the Reading area.

Stunning subdivisions
Spring Township’s residential subdivisions relay the image of the 1950s “American Dream.” Colonial, Cape Cod, and ranch-style homes built in the mid-20th century line broad, sidewalk-flanked streets, while featuring vast front lawns and sizable driveways, while many residents have planted colorful trees of their own to beautify their yards. Major roads like Grings Hill Road and Old Fritztown Road give way to warrens of side-streets leading to subdivisions varying in size and proximity to the city. Marinello adds, “With their prime location, this community provides the ideal balance between tranquility and accessibility.” Homes vary in price from $225,000 to $1 million, with larger, recently built homes fetching higher prices and 1960s-1990s homes offering less expensive options.

Bars and bowling in Berks County
Because this township is so spacious, neighbors often meet at popular venues from restaurants to golf clubs and parks. Paolo’s Restaurant & Bar, a family-owned business, offers what it describes as a “home-like Italian settings where everyone is welcomed as family and friends,” with 18 televisions broadcasting the most popular sports games and chefs serving up Italian staples from pizza to spaghetti and tiramisu. Another popular outlet is Berks Lanes, the local bowling alley. Here, visitors not only can play on one of this alley’s 48 lanes or shoot pool with friends, but also relax at the bar or play several vintage arcade games, making Berks Lanes a popular venue for family and friendly outings.

Golf like a champion
Lovers of the outdoors can take in Berks County’s natural beauty both at local parks and at Spring Township’s wealth of golf courses. The Manor Golf Club has been a popular, public venue golfing since 1928, attracting both locals and visitors from as far as Philadelphia and Allentown. Likewise, the Chapel Hill Golf Course features a par 70 course laid out in the championship style, compelling even the most ardent golfers to step up their game at this challenging venue. For a more laid-back outdoor experience, locals may like to play baseball and basketball at Klines Creek Park at the heart of the neighborhood, while Len Oak Park offers similar amenities in the Sinking Spring section of town.

Proximity to the Pretzel City
Access to Highway 222 puts residents within a 10-mile drive from the heart of Reading and the educational, healthcare, and entertainment amenities that “Pretzel City” offers.
From Red Lion to rural suburb
Spring Township itself may have been founded in 1850, but its heritage dates to the founding of the Red Lion Tavern in 1813; this tavern gave its name to the town of Red Lion, now known as Gouglersville. This small, close-knit community was the wellspring from which the larger townships of Cumru, Brecknock, and Spring emerged. Spring Township, named for a sinking freshwater spring, has retained this smalltown character for centuries; as much of this community still consists of rolling wheatfields and woods, locals tend to live in close-knit subdivisions and congregate at well-established local businesses like golf clubs and restaurants. Keller Williams Realtor Cortney Marinello, an expert on her native Berks County, describes Spring Township as a “serene suburban neighborhood whose houses offer a perfect blend of contemporary design and timeless elegance.”
