Reading Hospital anchors daily life, the Reading Public Museum and its arboretum add culture and green space, and trailheads for the Thun section of the Schuylkill River Trail make biking and jogs easy; expect four true seasons with warm, humid summers, crisp falls, and occasional snow.

Errands are simple with groceries and gyms along Penn and Lancaster avenues and quick trips to The Knitting Mills and Berkshire Mall, plus easy access to US-422/222 and BARTA buses.
