Callowhill. Close to the heart of downtown in Reading, this pocket of the city pairs classic rowhouses and brick façades with easy access to galleries, concerts, and green space. On any given weekend, you might stroll to exhibitions at the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, catch a show at Santander Arena, or cross the river for indie boutiques and cafés along Penn Avenue in West Reading. A short drive brings you to destination shopping and major employers in Wyomissing, keeping errands and commutes refreshingly simple.
Outdoorsy residents appreciate the quick hop to trails on Mount Penn and family time at City Park, while the Reading Public Museum offers hands-on learning, special exhibitions, and an arboretum for a change of pace. Block-by-block, Callowhill balances urban convenience with moments of quiet—morning coffee on the stoop, evening dog walks, and impromptu chats with neighbors.
Families are served by the Reading School District, with nearby campuses and districtwide arts, athletics, and career-readiness programs. Higher education options like Alvernia University and Albright College sit within a short radius, adding lectures, galleries, and college athletics to the local calendar.
Proximity to major corridors streamlines trips across Berks County, whether you’re commuting or heading out for a hike along the river.
