Why Live in Coopersburg Historic District
Coopersburg Historic District, located in a 1-mile stretch at the heart of Coopersburg proper, is known for its historic homes and small-town charm. The neighborhood features Queen Anne, Victorian, and Colonial Revival-style homes along Main Street, with '50s-era ranch-style homes, Craftsman residences, bungalows, and a few Tudor-style houses further out. Larger estates with stone facades and expansive yards are common in the more rural areas. The district has invested in pedestrian pathways, including new sidewalks, crosswalks, bike paths, and streetlights modeled after 18th-century gas lamps. Local dining and shopping options are conveniently located within walking distance, including Coopersburg Diner, Sage Alley Brewery, and Inside Scoop. For groceries, residents can visit Giant on Fairmont Road, and The Promenade Shops in Saucon Township offer additional retail and entertainment options. The neighborhood is served by the highly rated Liberty Bell Elementary School, Southern Lehigh Middle School, and Palisades High School, which offers career pathway programs. Outdoor attractions include the Southern Lehigh Memorial Park with its woodland trail and public athletic fields, and the Saucon Rail Trail, a 7.5-mile path popular for biking and walking. The Coopersburg Historical Society hosts the annual Coopersburg Community Day, featuring live music, vendors, and activities for all ages. The nearest airport is Lehigh Valley International, 13 miles south via American Parkway.
