updated electrical system, a nice front porch and a covered rear patio are just some of the many nice features. The opportunities to
purchase a property in West Reading Borough with taxes this low and in this price range are getting harder and harder to find. The
Wyomissing School District is arguably one of the more desirable districts and proximity to Berks County's major roads for commuting
make this an easy decision. Schedule a showing today.
