City - West Reading

West Reading packs a lot of life into one square mile. Penn Avenue, the borough's central spine, draws residents out on foot with boutique shops, breweries, wine bars, and bistros all within easy reach. The walkable corridor connects to Reading across the Schuylkill River, putting Berks County's larger city just about a mile away. Neighborhoods within the borough have a tight-knit, small-town feel that larger cities rarely manage. Rental options here run from classic brick row homes and historic apartments above storefronts to newer apartment communities with updated finishes.

The housing stock reflects the borough's roots, and many units feature original architectural details alongside modern updates. Reading Hospital, a major regional employer, is headquartered right in the borough, and Drexel University College of Medicine maintains a campus here as well.

School data provided by GreatSchools The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
