Lancaster and Reading, PA Reviews

Hello BP World,

I went to Lancaster yesterday to look at some properties (single family and duplex). My overall outlook on the area was mixed. After researching the area, I've seen that the crime rate is very high compared to other areas of PA. Does anyone have experience investing in Lancaster, and can you give advice as to whether you've found this high crime rate to be true? Is it something that has been improving over the years?

I saw lots of trendy shops (hipster-ish), large development projects underway, and commercial/retail (Park City Mall etc.). 

I'm also interested in seeing Reading - would like to know if anyone has experience of the Reading area as well. 

Very interested in Class B properties at the moment.

Thanks!

Roberto
