Beautiful Wooded Vacant 2+ Acre Lot located on Both Sides of Hessian Road ( Address is Trooper Rd) but Hessian Road bisects the two parts almost equally. The upper or North part is Zone R-1, Lower or South is zoned Preservation, currently—possible subdivision potential.
Southeast Reading, located between Penn Street and the Schuylkill River, is a residential and industrial Reading neighborhood with rowhouse blocks and rail-side warehouses. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Penn Street Bridge approach, where corner bodegas, auto shops, and small eateries line the traffic-heavy corridor. Community touchstones include GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, the Santander Performing Arts Center, and the Reading Public Museum. Brick twins and narrow porches set a tight streetscape, while river views open up near the trail. Penn’s Common and nearby ballfields add green breaks between blocks. Transit and civic buildings cluster toward Downtown, keeping the area connected to daily errands and events.
