First Ward, Reading apartment availability

The rental market in First Ward, Reading is relatively quiet, with an average of only 1 listing available per month in 2024. As a result, rentals in this neighborhood are scarce, making up less than 1% of total listings in Reading. Due to the limited availability, there is no notable trend in terms of bedroom count, with no listings for 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, or studio apartments. Potential renters may need to be patient and flexible when searching for a rental property in this area.

Methodology: How we got this data

Zumper’s proprietary rental data fuels our analysis. Rent and market trends, availability, neighborhood popularity, and lifestyle scores are all calculated using real-time and 2024 rental inventory and prices.

Our Lifestyle Categories ("great for eco-living," "great for social life," "great for pet owners," etc.) are determined by set criteria, against which we score each listing and its available features. At the neighborhood level, we calculate the listing count for each category to determine which lifestyles best fit each area.

Zumper, founded in 2012, is North America’s largest privately-owned rental platform, offering over 1 million listings across the U.S. and Canada.
