Perry Homes for Rent

Perry, located in Shoemakersville, is a tranquil community that appeals to those willing to drive a bit further for shopping and entertainment. The area benefits from the revival of nearby boroughs like Leesport and Hamburg, with many businesses situated along Pennsylvania Route 61, connecting residents to Reading and Hamburg. Homes in Shoemakersville are generally more affordable compared to other boroughs in Berks County, though countryside properties with larger lots are more expensive. Housing options range from two-bedroom 1970s split-level homes to early 20th-century four-square houses and three-bedroom ranch-style homes on expansive lots. Perry Elementary School, Hamburg Area Middle School, and Hamburg Area High School serve the local students, with some attending The King’s Academy in Mohrsville. For dining, locals frequent Fiore’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria, Candy’s Homemade Ice Cream, and Rico Casa, known for its Mexican-Korean fusion cuisine.
