The smaller of two Windsor Townships

Eastern Pennsylvania is home to two communities called Windsor Township – one in York County, the other in Berks County. The latter is the smaller and more sparsely populated of the two, with under 2,500 residents spread across roughly 23 square miles. “It’s almost all farmland and bigger lots – very nice, but rural,” says RE/MAX of Reading Realtor Dave Mattes. However, with immediate proximity to Hamburg and commuter routes, Windsor Township residents enjoy several conveniences that belie the area’s agrarian feel. “Your main hub of activity, entertainment and amenities is going to be Hamburg,” Mattes says. “But it also has great access to Interstate 78, so you can go to any major nearby area.”

Acre-plus properties abound

Edenburg, a village-like census-designated place, sits at the heart of Windsor Township along Old U.S. Route 22. It features the township’s highest concentration of homes, including early-20th-century bungalows, American Foursquare designs and Cape Cods. Homebuyers visiting Edenburg’s western stretches will find brand-new townhouses. Elsewhere in the township, Cape Cods, Colonial- and ranch-style homes and farmhouses sit on spread-out parcels averaging around 1 acre apiece. The average homebuyer will spend in the low $300,000s on a Windsor Township property, though larger homes on 10-plus-acre parcels can exceed $600,000. “The pricing outlook is great, the same as anywhere else in Berks County,” Mattes says. “There are very few houses for sale, reasonably good demand and continued appreciation over time.”

Fish, hike and take in sights

Nature lovers can find several outdoor hotspots in and around Windsor Township, including two prominent water features. Kaercher Creek Park features a 40-acre lake in southern Edenburg, welcoming anglers to fish from waterside paths or their own boats. Around the lake, visitors can play horseshoes, ring-toss, sand volleyball and soccer. New Kernsville Lake sits alongside the township to the east, home of a 1949-built dam and lined with hiking, biking and horseback-riding trails. In the township’s northern section, hikers can enter a 9-mile loop carrying them to Pulpit Rock and The Pinnacle, two storied overlooks on the Appalachian Trail.

The charming downtown next door

Old U.S. Route 22 takes drivers west of Edenburg through Hamburg, a charming small town replete with independent businesses. Eateries along the town’s main drag include Hecky’s Sub Shop, a four-decade-old establishment serving sandwiches up to 20 inches long. Across the street, Adams & Bright Drugs maintains its early-1900s pharmacy vibes with a barstool-lined counter where patrons sip on creamy milkshakes. Downtown Hamburg also features the Hamburg Strand Theater, a single-screen movie house displaying new, classic and holiday-themed Hollywood fare. A few blocks away, shoppers can pick up groceries at two supermarket franchises: Weis Markets and Redner’s Warehouse Markets.

Three schools within a few miles

Hit the highway with little hassle

State Route 61 runs alongside Windsor Township to the west, taking most residents south to Reading within 30 minutes with normal traffic conditions. I-78 cuts through the township’s northern section, typically offering a 35- to 50-minute drive east to Allentown.
