Heidelberg Townhome for Sale

Heidelberg, a rural neighborhood outside of Reading, PA, is characterized by its picturesque rolling hills of farmland and Pennsylvania Dutch history. The area is primarily agricultural, with the small town of Womelsdorf offering essential amenities like a grocery store, hardware store, and a few fast-food options. Housing in Heidelberg is limited, with only a couple of small townhouses currently for sale in Womelsdorf. Outside the town, homes are typically large Colonial and Farmhouse-style properties on multi-acre lots, often featuring private driveways and barns. U.S. Route 422 runs through the neighborhood, where most new developments are located, though building activity is minimal. Blue Marsh Lake, a major recreational attraction, is 12 miles north and offers fishing, swimming, boating, and hiking trails. The lake is also a popular spot for Fourth of July picnics and barbeques. Womelsdorf Park and Robesonia Playground provide local outdoor spaces, with the latter featuring baseball diamonds. The Conrad Weiser schools, named after a notable Pennsylvania Dutch settler, offer a range of educational opportunities, with the high school providing advanced placement courses and various sports facilities. While Womelsdorf lacks a full range of amenities, residents can access hospitals and major shopping options in Reading, located 16 miles away. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, contributing to its appeal for those seeking a quiet, rural lifestyle.
