    "Reading is a great place to live, especially if you’re on the border next to the West and want a neighborhood that feels clean, safe, and walkable. The area has great parks, and it’s perfect for kids, casual walks, and bike rides around town. Like anywhere, you may occasionally see people trying to break into cars, but it’s sporadic rather than constant, and most of the time the neighborhood feels peaceful. A lot of the neighbors are friendly and easy to get along with, though, like anywhere, there are a few difficult people mixed in. Overall, Reading has a strong small-town feel with good energy and plenty to like. Reading’s borough site highlights its 21-acre park and community recreation options, and local sources commonly describe it as walkable and family-friendly"

    "There are a lot of people that walk their dogs in this area and most people are animal friendly, but you do have some people that put up signs to keep off lawn. The reason I believe this happens is because you do have some people, very few, that will walk their dogs at night and not clean up. As a dog owner, I always clean up after my dog and I get very annoyed when I am walking and I see that someone didn’t clean up after their dog. "
