Well, it's definitely nothing like LA, that's for sure. I grew up in the Reading suburbs and recently moved back to the area after attending grad school in NC. The Reading metro area (Berks County) has a population of about 400,000, but it is part of the larger Philly metro area, which has a population of just under 6 million. Wyomissing is a nice, quiet, more upscale suburb of Reading. As far as a place to rent, I would check out Wyomissing Square, which is a mixed-use residential/retail community currently being constructed. It will be one of the more luxurious apartment complexes in the area. I'm actually looking to rent there myself once constructed, which should be sometime this summer according to the property manager.
As far as entertainment or things to do, there are some decent restaurants, bars, and clubs, but they tend to get old. As you mentioned, Philly is pretty close. I'm there visiting friends/going out almost every other weekend. It's about a 50 minute drive (no traffic) from where I live. NYC is only 2-2.5 hours away, and DC is about a 3 hour trip. If you're looking for something to do on the weekend, you shouldn't have a problem finding something within driving distance. Good luck!! By the way, where will you be working?
