  1. Welcome to Reading! It’s great that you’re making this move. As for your questions:

    Ebb and Flow Apartments: These have received mixed reviews, so it might be wise to visit them in person if possible. Check if they meet your preferences for safety, maintenance, and amenities. Talking to current residents can also give you valuable insights.
