I'm single, late 40s, and With a population of 25,448, Reading is a smaller city. Rent is about $1,722/month for a decent place. Household incomes average around $163,725 in Reading. The median home value here is around $741,100, which is pretty steep. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development. Worth the trade-offs? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
