About District
6
District 6, located between Penn Street and the Schuylkill River, is a historic and industrial Reading neighborhood with brick rowhouses and working waterfront edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Penn Street near 6th Street, where corner bodegas, barbershops, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks in motion. Architectural details lean toward late-19th-century masonry, with tight blocks and stoops that face the street. Reading Terminal Market anchors local routines with produce counters and prepared-food stalls. The Santander Performing Arts Center and GoggleWorks Center for the Arts add a cultural pulse beyond daytime commerce. Riverfront paths and nearby parks shape a grounded, walk-forward rhythm.
