Historic homes between the Lehigh River and airport
Affectionately called Catty by locals, Catasauqua is a former seat of iron and steel industry along the Lehigh River whose historic houses and storefronts are home to a modern generation of close-knit neighbors and local businesses. “Catty’s a walk-to-the-barber-shop kind of place,” says Mark Molchany, an associate broker at RE/MAX Unlimited Real Estate who specializes in Lehigh and Northampton counties. “It’s a quaint little town with a lot of community-oriented ties.” From cheering on the team at Catasauqua High football games to hanging out at the local pub, Catasauqua residents enjoy a sense of small-town community within 5 miles of Allentown.
Historic homes dating from the early 1900s are a unique feature of Catasauqua.

Historic row houses and newer suburbs
While Catasauqua boasts a handful of Victorian manors and preserved colonial buildings, the vast majority of homes are simple row houses or twin homes build from 1800 to the early 1900s. Attached homes with and without porches sell for $100,000 to $260,000 depending on rehabilitation needs, while detached options with a couple yards of space between neighbors sell for $210,000 to $300,000. South of Race Street and on hills above Catasauqua Park, ranch-style homes, Cape Cods, bi-levels and twin homes built in the 1950s through 1970s sport small lawns on less crowded streets, selling for $195,000 to $350,000. “There’s rare new construction, but Catty’s older, less expensive homes are most popular, especially for first-time homebuyers,” Molchany says. Extensive sidewalks systems connect homes on both densely packed and more suburban streets.

Catasauqua Park, YMCA and George Taylor House
Bisected by a fork of the Catasauqua Creek, Catasauqua Park is the community's primary park, home to grassy fields, paved walking paths, playgrounds and pavilions, a skate park and athletic courts for basketball, tennis and volleyball players. The park’s pool is a hit in the heat of summer but has been open irregularly over the past few years. Indoor athletics facilities and community classes draw members to the Suburban North Family YMCA off Walnut Street. For a taste of local history, folks can visit the grounds of the Georgian-style George Taylor House throughout the year or take a tour of the interior on Saturdays in April through October.

Local businesses and MacArthur Road shopping
Family-owned businesses and restaurants populate historic brick commercial buildings and single-family homes throughout Catasauqua, like Pie's on Pizzeria, a longtime neighborhood pizza joint, and The Catty Corner Neighborhood Pub & Pie, popular for nostalgic neighborhood bar atmosphere and weekly events from bingo to karaoke and trivia. Spires atop historic churches rise above rooftops throughout the neighborhood, housing religious services for different denominations and the Catasauqua Public Library. For essentials and retail shopping, locals cross the Lehigh River for MacArthur Road destinations like Aldi, GIANT, Walmart and the Lehigh Valley Mall, all of which are within 3 miles of Catasauqua.
