Historic living close to recreation
The Northampton neighborhood in eastern Pennsylvania almost entirely encompasses its historic downtown, while lying on the eastern banks of the Lehigh River and offering a glimpse into its past of steel and concrete production used in 20th-century infrastructure. With the Hokendauqua Creek winding alongside and through the neighborhood, and with plenty of recreational spaces in Northampton, locals enjoy residential streets close to both nature and downtown convenience. “It’s a nice community and a good mix of houses, restaurants, banks and parks,” says Rob McCann, broker and owner at Assist-2-Sell. “It’s really convenient and gives you a bit of everything – it’s not a huge community, but it really offers anything you’re looking for.”
The Woodward Bridge crosses the Lehigh River crossing into Northampton from Cementon.

Colonial homes on residential streets
The residential portions of Northampton are primarily laid out in a grid network, with a variety of home styles lining sidewalk-bounded streets. Like other areas close by, the homes in Northampton are older; many were constructed before 1950, though more were consistently added through the 20th century. Prices here can range from between $150,000 and $250,000 for a single-family twin colonial home, while on the higher end brick colonials fall around $450,000. Ranch and Cape Cod properties are also found in Northampton, and rowhouses are common as well.

A schooling pipeline within the neighborhood
Within the Northampton Area School District, students can attend a trio of schools in close proximity with one another. Northampton Borough Elementary School enrolls kindergarten through fifth grade, scoring a B with Niche. Northampton Area Middle School earns a B-minus and sits right alongside Northampton Area High School, which is graded a B by Niche. Northampton Area High is ranked 10th in STEM programs among Lehigh Valley’s high schools, and its athletic programs play under the “Konkrete Kids” moniker and have teams for football, softball and more.
Northampton Borough Elementary School serves grades K-5 and receives a B rating on Niche.com.

Pocket parks and sports fields
Enjoy the outdoors at Canal Street Park, the largest green space in or close to Northampton. Located in the Historic District, though with a small piece stretching into Northampton itself, its gazebo and Heritage Trail are among its most recognizable features. Lighted courts for basketball and tennis, as well as ballfields, are also in the park. “The Lehigh River is a big draw for recreation,” McCann, whose firm is based in the area, says. “A lot of people fish in there, and there’s a lot of kayaking and tubing.” Several smaller parks are situated within Northampton itself, including the 26th Street Playground, which has not just a play structure but also courts, fields and a bandshell. Visitors to Northampton Municipal Park can cool off in the pool, reserve a pavilion or play pickup games on several sports courts and fields.
Children can play on the pirate ship playground or enjoy the swings at Canal Street Park.

Nearby eateries on Main Street
Portions of Northampton’s Main Street run through the neighborhood, but primarily falls in the downtown area. Stores and restaurants line the road, including Thai Halal on Main and Cakes on Main within Northampton’s boundaries. In the downtown area, but extremely close by, are the Northampton Diner and Family Restaurant and the Gin Mill and Grille. “It’s mostly retail, locally-owned jewelry stores, the Main Street Restaurant and the Northampton Diner,” McCann says. “Plus, Taylor Roasted Coffee is a good spot to go, and Santa Fe Taco is another one everyone likes. They have free margaritas on Wednesday.” Konkrete Creamery’s ice cream and international fare at Palermo’s Italian Grill are also on the menu for nearby eateries, and both are situated close to the neighborhood’s center near a Redner’s Warehouse Markets stop.
Northampton Diner and Family Restaurant brings many guests for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Museums, activities and a historic theater
Be transported to other worlds within the doors under the Roxy Theater’s art-deco neon sign and marquee, where moviegoers check out new releases, classic cinema and even live music. “The Roxy Theater is the top-grossing second-run theater in the nation,” McCann says of the 103-year-old building. “It’s like four bucks a ticket to get in and see any show, and they also hold local events.” The Northampton Recreation Center has facilities for gymnastics, weightlifting and an obstacle course, while the family-run Hillside Mini Golf & Ice Cream is a one-stop shop for hitting the mini-greens and enjoying frozen treats afterward. Across from the Northampton Municipal Park, the Atlas Cement Company Museum showcases the area’s history of production via nearby limestone quarries. Both the Nor-Bath Trail, which runs along old railway lines, and the D&L Trail are nearby or within Northampton for hikers and cyclists.

Airports, mountains and the state capital
The historic, small-town atmosphere might belie Northampton’s proximity to other major areas of eastern Pennsylvania. “It’s not far from the Poconos or the Lehigh Valley Airport,” McCann says. “There’s major routes, and 10 to 20 minutes south, there’s major shopping areas. It’s really convenient and gives you a bit of everything. It’s a good mix of small-town and farmland.” Allentown is just about half an hour south via Route 145, and about an hour further in that direction motorists can reach Philadelphia. It’s about an hour north to the Pocono Mountains, while the lights of New York City is around two hours east.
