District 8 Home for Rent

District 8 in Reading is a quieter neighborhood characterized by densely packed early 1900s row houses, some with original red brick exteriors and others updated with colorful siding. Homes are typically under 1,300 square feet but often feature four to five bedrooms and multiple levels, with small covered porches and on-street parking. The area is popular among families due to its proximity to 16th and Haak Elementary School. Pendora Park, adjacent to District 8, spans over 6 acres and includes a playground, sports facilities, and a pavilion for family gatherings. City Park, half a mile away, offers nearly 50 acres of green space with an all-abilities playground, splash pad, walking trails, and courts for basketball and tennis. Local dining options include The Blue Farm Chicken & Ceviche Shop for Latin American cuisine, Tambora Restaurant for Spanish dishes, and Traveler’s Pub for drinks and darts. La Niña Fresa is a popular spot for ice cream and Mexican snacks. While public transportation via BARTA is limited, residents often travel by car, with Philadelphia 56 miles away and Lehigh Valley International Airport 40 miles away.
