Small borough with a golf course and many community events
North Catasauqua, also known by its nickname North Catty, straddles the line of a rural and urban area. Located between Allentown and Bethlehem to the south and east respectively, North Catty has a 9 course golf course, and a small town charm more reminiscent of a rural town. “We’re a little less than one square mile, but we are definitely our own community,” says Peter Paone, who has been the president of the town council since 2015. “We try to focus on community activities to provide a high quality of life.” North Catty’s Community Day gives opportunities for civic organizations to come and explain what they do, while the Betterment Committee has an annual carnival spread out over four days. “We’re primarily a bedroom community,” says Paone. “A lot of people will live in North Catty and then work elsewhere.”

New Traditional and 1900 homes within one town
The size of North Catty may be small, but the range of housing is large. There are some older homes built around 1900, located closer to the Lehigh River, however, these turn-of-the-century homes do not define the neighborhood as a whole, as homes built over the years fill the area. While not as common, there are some roads where doubles line the roads. Street parking is also more common along these roads, but most homes have a two-car garage, generally attached. The most common housing styles include Colonial Revival and American Foursquare, with scatterings of ranch, bungalow, Cape Cod and bi-levels throughout. These homes can sell between $250,000 and reach around $327,000. While homes aren’t sharing walls, they do sit on smaller lot sizes, usually sitting closer to the curb to allow for more backyard space. Homes closer to the Willow Brook Golf Course tend to be New Traditional styles, often ranch or Colonial Revival inspired, and sit on larger plots of land. These homes tend to start around $350,000 and reach $710,000. While rare, there are a few homeowners’ associations with monthly fees ranging between $23 and $97.

Snack stand at the park and miles of renovated trails
“Our centerpiece is the William J. Albert Memorial Park,” says Paone. “It’s home to a wide number of recreational leagues, and our recreation committee runs a little snack stand in the park during the summer.” With room for a baseball diamond, basketball and volleyball court, the park also has age-appropriate playgrounds for children to run through, including a Tot Lot for younger children. “Another big thing for us is the D&L Trail,” says Paone. “We’ve done a lot to make sure we have a good trail system.” The D&L Trail crosses 1.5 miles through North Catty but stretches for more than 165 miles following the Lehigh River and Delaware River. The North Catty section was renovated in 2022, creating a new pedestrian bridge and making the trail accessible.
