College Heights, located between Penn Street and Mount Penn, is a residential and academic Reading neighborhood with hillside streets and campus greens. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Albright College campus edge near 13th Street, where brick academic buildings, shaded walks, and a steady rhythm of foot traffic set the tone. Stone-and-brick homes and small apartment buildings line curving blocks, giving the area a classic college-district streetscape. Albright College’s Schumo Center for Fitness and Well-Being and the Freedman Gallery act as cultural anchors. Nearby City Park adds broad lawns and a bandstand backdrop for an outdoors-forward routine. The slope toward the city grid keeps downtown views in frame without losing the quieter, residential feel.
