Real Estate & Homes for Sale in 1st Ward, Allentown

Why Live in 1st Ward
The 1st Ward in Allentown, dating back to 1852, is the city's oldest neighborhood, located along the Lehigh River. Allentown's 1st and 6th Ward Neighborhood Plan aims to revitalize the waterfront with new commercial and residential developments. The neighborhood plan seeks to build more housing, support local small businesses, and enhance after-school programs, reflecting community input from residents. The 1st Ward features city streets lined with brick and stone rowhouses and duplexes, some of which are adorned with murals. There is usually a low housing inventory, but when houses become available, they are quickly purchased by first-time buyers and investors. Bucky Boyle Park, situated on the Lehigh River, offers a range of recreational facilities, including playgrounds, a splash pad, basketball courts, and baseball fields. The American Plaza on American Parkway features small shops, cultural markets and restaurants, such as Sarandonga Latin Bistro and Wun Wu Garden. The Riverside Restaurant and Lounge offers outdoor seating and Mediterranean cuisine. Public transit is available through the Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority (LANta), with stops throughout the ward connecting residents across Allentown.
