Why Reading? : We had always loved Reading and thought it would be an ideal place to raise a family. We lived in Wakefield after we first got married in 1991. Shortly after, we purchased our first “starter” home, a few moves and a lot of years later, we have enjoyed living here with our friends and neighbors ever since!
