Suburban living with a rural feel in Eastern Pennsylvania
Sandwiched between the boroughs of Bath and Nazareth is the Upper Nazareth Township — a cornfield-laden region offering laid-back suburban living. Just 3 miles west of Nazareth's downtown area, Upper Nazareth Township sits in proximity to all of the borough's attractions while still boasting a rural and industrial feel in the heart of Northampton County. "People who come in from out of state, as soon as they move here, they just feel like they were welcome," says local Associate Broker Rebecca Miklas of Miklas Realty, who grew up in the township. "It has a welcome, home-town hospitality type of feel."

Residents of Upper Nazareth Township have lots of food options to choose from. The roadside Slate Quarry Hotel serves as a hot spot to catch the big game with a burger and fries while Emily's Ice Cream in downtown Nazareth is a local gem, not only for its homemade ice cream, but also the antiquated Civil War-era building that houses it.
