Barley Square is an elderly community located in Reading, PA, serving residents 62 and better.

They are conveniently located 2 minutes from Bravo Supermarket, Dominos Pizza, and the Peanut Bar, 3 minutes from USPS and CVS, and 10 minutes from Berkshire Mall and Walmart.
Because Barley Square participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. Depending on the number of HOME-designated units, additional units may have even lower household income requirements and corresponding lower rent caps.
