Reading is the county seat of Berks County, set along the Schuylkill River with the Pagoda looking down from Mount Penn. The city is known for its brick rowhomes, many with original architectural details, while nearby boroughs and townships such as Wyomissing and Shillington offer a more suburban setting. Its location puts Philadelphia, Lancaster and the Lehigh Valley within driving distance, which appeals to commuters.
