Hi everyone,

What is your opinion on Mt. Penn? There are several houses that are within our price range that we are scheduled to view with our Realtor this coming week. I have never been to Reading, I am much more familiar with Chester County and lower Berks.

Our realtor tells us that it is a charming community, with well kept, older homes within a good school district. Is this the case?

We currently rent in Chester County, but frankly, we are overwhelmed by the price of property! We have a 9 yr old to boot, so a good school district is mandatory for us. This naturally sends the price of housing through the roof... ugh. We cannot pay $260,000 for a tiny, old cape cod and I really want to avoid townhomes.

My husband works in West Chester and he is willing to commute. I hate the idea of a long commute, but you cannot beat the prices north of Chester County.

We have also viewed homes within the Pottstown area (Spring City, Birdsboro, Pottstown proper).

Thoughts?
Advice?

Thanks

Hi,
You should be fine in Mt. Penn. You will have very quick access to the 422 for the commute. If you are scheduled to come to the area, ask your realtor about properties in Exeter Township. A great school district,very safe and a little bit further east. Good luck on your search.
