Why Live in 18th and Cotton

The Reading neighborhood of 18th and Cotton retains much of its early 1900s charm, with turn-of-the-century brownstones and townhouses dominating the residential landscape. This southeastern section of Reading is home to over 3,000 residents who appreciate the area's historical architecture and proximity to notable attractions. The Japanese-style Reading Pagoda, a city symbol since 1908, overlooks the neighborhood from Mount Penn, which also offers well-maintained mountain biking trails and scenic views. The neighborhood's urban streets are lined with traditional townhouses and brownstones featuring diverse facades, including stone masonry, red brick, and multicolor vinyl siding. A few single-family ranch-style homes can also be found here. Local dining options include The Blue Farm, a Peruvian restaurant, and La Niña Fresa, known for its Mexican ice cream. For quick shopping trips, residents frequent the 15th and Cotton Market. Despite its urban setting, the neighborhood lacks public transportation, making it a mile-long walk or a five-minute drive to central Reading. U.S. Route 422 provides a convenient route to Philadelphia, about an hour's drive away. The neighborhood is flanked by heavily wooded nature escapes to the north and south, maintained through local preservation efforts.
