A peninsula-esque Pennsylvania neighborhood
With the Lehigh River to the north and west and with the Delaware River sparkling along its eastern banks, residents of the South Side neighborhood are never far from enjoying the area’s water access. Older homes populate the primarily residential area. “The South Side is a very up-and-coming area,” says Jonathan Campbell, the CEO of the area’s Campbell Team. “There’s access to restaurants and everything, but it’s predominantly all residential homes – not a lot of businesses, but some local shops. It’s more affordable than the direct downtown area and it’s pretty quiet.” With roads and rivers winding through its wooded hills, weathered bridges crossing the water and several trail attractions nearby, there’s no shortage of history to explore or sights to experience in the South Side.
South Side Easton was designed by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company in 1833.
South Side Easton is located at the convergence of the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers.

20th-century homes in South Side
Many South Side homes were constructed in or before 1900, lining narrow streets and typically in the colonial or Cape Cod styles. Shared porches are also a feature of some properties here. “The home prices in South Side are in the $150,000 to $300,000 range,” Campbell, a Lehigh Valley native, says. “It’s more residential. It mostly has a bunch of twin and semi-detached homes, and there’s a bunch of single-family homes and more traditional styles. The mayor of Easton actually lives in the South Side.” Evocative of many eastern Pennsylvania neighborhoods, trees blossom along the streets in the spring and put on a display of colors in the fall.
Colonial style row homes sell in the high $200,000 range in South Side Easton.

Schools acclaimed for athletic programs and diversity
Ada B. Cheston Elementary School is the only school located within the South Side neighborhood, receiving a C grade with Niche but ranks 57th in diversity out of more than 1,700 elementary schools in Pennsylvania. Enrollment then filters into Easton Area Middle School, given a C-plus with a student-to-teacher ratio of 15 to one. Easton Area High School earns a B grade from Niche and ranks highly in both diversity and for student-athletes, where the Red Rovers squads take to the gridiron, diamond, hardwood and more throughout the school year.
Easton Area Middle school serves 1,874 students in grades 6-8.
Easton Area High School excels in higher learning and athletics.

Nearby parks and expansive trails
Hugh Moore Park spans more than 500 acres and is sandwiched between the Lehigh Canal and Lehigh River, serving as the biggest green space close to the South Side. There, visitors can board an old canal boat pulled by mules, which emulates how settlers embarked on trade routes of the past. Part of the D&L Trail also lies in the area, meandering in a curving arc around the upper portion of the South Side. Stretching for 165 total miles between Wilkes-Barre and Bristol, it runs along the river and connects with boroughs storied in history, as well as farmland and the downtown areas of Bethlehem and Allentown. There’s several small neighborhood parks within the South Side, including Heil Park with its pool and sports fields; Nesquehoning Street Park, with a pavilion, baseball diamond and volleyball courts; and Lachenour Park with its practice fields.
Bikers love the 165 miles D&L Trail that runs through South Side Easton.

Eateries in South Side and across the river
A few establishments are scattered throughout the South Side, including Lehigh Valley BBQ and Pino’s Pizzeria. “There’s a couple local pizza places like Pino’s,” Campbell says. “The South Side doesn’t have a lot of commercial stuff. People go downtown for that – it’s five minutes away, and there’s a hill that leads right into it. You cross the bridge and you’re in downtown Easton.” Just across the bridge, options include the Easton Baking Company, Lutzi’s Courtyard Café and Porter’s Pub & Restaurant. Most of the eateries just over the Lehigh River are concentrated on Northampton Street, and on the same thoroughfare the Easton Public Market serves as a stop for groceries. In the South Side, the Easton Food Market is another convenient store for the same, as is the local DG Market.
Mi Casa Restaurante is one of a few restaurants located in the South Side Easton neighborhood.

Local breweries and river recreation
Despite South Side being mostly residential, it’s still close to two beloved local breweries and some other outdoor opportunities outside of the parks. Two Rivers Brewing Company calls the former Mount Vernon Hotel home, part of which is over 200 years old, and the mostly standard brick building is accompanied by a Victorian-design turret above the street corner. Weyerbacher Brewing Company is nearing 30 years in business and focuses on Belgian fare, with their large space hosting events like trivia nights, concerts and even animal-accompanied gatherings in the Jester’s Court Yard. To the south, hit the links at Morgan Hill Golf Course, receive instruction or sign up for a membership.
Weyerbacher is an award winning brewery located in the South Side Easton community.

Scooting around the South Side
Interstate 78, which runs from state capital Harrisburg to northeastern New Jersey, is just south of the neighborhood. “The South Side sits between downtown Easton and Route 78, which is the main road that goes into New York and New Jersey,” Campbell says. “It’s an easy commute to work in New York and New Jersey, so people will live in the South Side for a lower cost of living but still work and commute in New York and New Jersey.” Traveling into New York City takes about an hour and a half from the South Side. Pennsylvania Route 611 carves its way along the Delaware River’s shores to the south, linking Philadelphia with the Pocono Mountains at either end and meaning residents can head north for scenic landscapes or south for everything the City of Brotherly Love has to offer.
Historic bridges cross the Lehigh River along the D&L Trail in South Side Easton.
South Side Easton is small community across the Lehigh River from downtown Easton.
