Mount Penn offers residents and future movers a community that seamlessly blends small-town warmth with striking panoramas and easy access to all the opportunities of nearby Reading. Perched on the slopes of its namesake mountain, the borough provides sweeping views of Berks County, especially from iconic landmarks like the Pagoda, where sunsets over the city are nothing short of breathtaking. For outdoor enthusiasts, the scenic Antietam Lake Park beckons just minutes away with wooded trails, fishing spots, and picnic areas perfect for unwinding.
Families are drawn to Mount Penn in part for the Antietam School District, whose schools offer a close-knit educational environment focusing on student growth and academic achievement. The local Mount Penn Elementary Center and Antietam Middle-Senior High School serve as community focal points, hosting events that foster neighborhood connections.
On Main Street, a selection of unique restaurants, bakeries, and small businesses reflect the borough’s sense of tradition and local pride. Crescented by the forests of the Mount Penn Preserve, residents enjoy year-round access to hiking, mountain biking, and sweeping lookouts. Weekend plans might include a quick trip to Exeter Township or enjoying the thriving arts and dining scene in West Reading.
