About
Millmont
Millmont, located between Penn Avenue and the Schuylkill River, is a residential and industrial Reading neighborhood with brick mill-era buildings and river-adjacent streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Penn Avenue corridor near the river crossings, where small storefronts, service counters, and workshop bays set a practical, working-day rhythm. Rows of compact brick homes and older walk-ups sit alongside light-industrial blocks that hint at Reading’s manufacturing past. River views and flat streets shape a straightforward, walkable layout. Nearby civic and cultural anchors in central Reading add galleries, markets, and performance spaces to the routine.
