Why Live in Reading City Center

Reading City Center features a mix of three- to five-bedroom colonial and Victorian rowhouses, with colonial homes often showcasing colorful shutters and Victorian styles featuring pointed turrets and covered front porches. The neighborhood's housing market is competitive, with homes selling quickly. Riverfront Park, located just south of the area, offers a playground, basketball courts, baseball diamonds, and an outdoor hockey rink, and connects to the Schuylkill River Trail, an 18-mile path extending to Yarnell Park. The Reading Skatepark, which opened in 2024, is a new downtown attraction along Canal Street. Residents can also enjoy the Mount Penn Preserve’s hiking trails and city views from the William Penn Memorial Fire Tower and Reading Pagoda. For groceries, CTown Supermarkets and Price Rite are nearby, while El Puente Mexican Store provides hot meals and home furnishings. Dining options include the Salt & Light Cafe, Beckett's for chicken and ribs, and the Ugly Oyster Drafthaus, a popular Irish tavern. Annual events such as the West Reading Craft Pretzel & Beer Fest, Reading Liederkranz Oktoberfest, and the Mid Atlantic Air Museum's WWII Weekend offer entertainment and cultural experiences. U.S. Route 422 and U.S. Route 222 facilitate travel within and beyond the city, with Reading Regional Airport just 3 miles north and Reading Hospital 1.5 miles south.
