West Bethlehem, a quiet partner to downtown
For those who want to be close to the attractions of downtown Bethlehem but prefer a slower-paced residential community or quicker access to bigger shopping and Allentown, West Bethlehem provides. Encompassing a region north of the Lehigh River and west of Monocacy Creek, West Bethlehem developed as a suburban area focused on maintaining natural green spaces and giving its residents a quiet community area. In 2003, when the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, the communities of Bethlehem ensured that new businesses and venues would have a chance to flourish. “When big industries leave, people usually find a new city to move to, but people here reinvented themselves so they could stay,” says Realtor Lenore Mohr, owner of Pure Light Reinvest, who has been selling homes in the area for eight years. With a quick bike or car ride across Fred B. Rooney Highway, residents can be right in the heart of Bethlehem.
West Bethlehem is surrounded by hilly forests and rivers.
The Lehigh & Delaware Trail is a favorite spot for West Bethlehem residents to fish.
