College Heights blends academic energy with residential calm, thanks to its close connection to Reading and the centerpiece of the neighborhood, Albright College. Tree-lined streets showcase period architecture—from stately Tudors to handsome stone colonials—while the campus adds galleries, lectures, and performances that residents can enjoy without crossing town.
Families appreciate access to the Reading School District, and the neighborhood’s sidewalks make morning runs or dog walks feel effortless. On weekends, it’s easy to explore regional culture: the hands-on exhibits and arboretum at the Reading Public Museum, community classes and exhibitions at the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, and summer evenings at FirstEnergy Stadium, cheering on the Fightin Phils. Everyday needs are a quick hop to the shops and restaurants in Wyomissing, while commuting options connect smoothly across Berks County via major routes.
Residents value a neighborhood that feels engaged but never hectic: campus green spaces double as neighborhood parks, porches encourage conversation, and annual events keep neighbors connected. Whether you’re captivated by historic homes, drawn to university amenities, or seeking a convenient base for work and play, College Heights delivers a well-rounded lifestyle in the heart of the city.
