Why Live in Center City

Center City in Allentown, Pennsylvania, features a mix of historic and modern architecture, with Art Deco buildings and sleek glass high-rises. The neighborhood is undergoing significant redevelopment, combining new entertainment and commercial spaces with established cultural landmarks. The core business district around Hamilton, Sixth, and Seventh streets includes Gothic Revival churches, modern office buildings, and Italianate commercial structures. Residents have access to a variety of dining options, such as La Vida Café and trendy spots like Pennsylvania Rye Company and Brü Daddy's. For groceries, Supremo Food Market on Seventh Street offers a wider selection. Housing mainly consists of two- and three-story row houses and townhouses with historic details, though most residents rent rather than own. Green spaces like ArtsWalk Pocket Park and larger parks such as Fountain Park provide recreational areas. The neighborhood's arts and entertainment scene is vibrant, with venues like Miller Symphony Hall and the Allentown Art Museum, and events like the annual Blues, Brews & Barbecue Festival. Center City is well-connected with extensive sidewalks and LANTA bus routes, though parking can be challenging. The area experiences a higher level of noise during rush hour and in the evenings due to traffic and nightlife.
