Tilden, PA Home for Rent

About 15 miles northwest of Reading, where the west banks of the Schuylkill River meet the feet of the Blue Mountain Range, lies Tilden Township. In 1740, Tilden became home to one of the first Amish congregations in America. Prior to becoming its own township, it was the first railroad stop on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad in the late 1800s. The town slowly developed over the next half-century. Roughly one-third of this eastern Pennsylvania community comprises unsettled, undeveloped hunting and recreational land, while farmland fills most of the rest. Though Interstate 78 runs through the township’s center, offering passage to several big-box stores to the east, it does little to interrupt the area’s rural charm. Though the township was established in 1887, most homes available were built in the past few decades. Lot sizes in town range from compact, suburban yards to 70-plus acres. Manufactured homes from the 1990s and 2000s typically sell for $75,000 to $150,000. Three- to four-bedroom ranch-style houses usually go for $250,000 to $350,000.
