West Easton is a small, residential borough with sidewalk-lined streets and community green spaces situated along the Lehigh River. “It’s a really small town in the middle of other busy towns,” says Justin Woodring, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices who has been selling homes in the area for over seven years. “People choose to live here because it’s close to everything and one of the most affordable towns in the Lehigh Valley.” The borough covers less than ½ a square mile on the cusp of the city of Easton, and residents are centrally located less than 2 miles from access points to Route 22 and Interstate 78. “It’s a quaint little area,” says Joan Heebner, the Manager of the Borough of West Easton. “Nobody ever knows where it is, it’s kind of cute in that way.”

Traditional single-family homes and twins
The borough features a mix of single-family homes and twin homes built throughout the 1900s. Further south along the Lehigh River, raised ranches and traditional Colonial Revivals boast waterfront views and range from around $280,000 to $435,000. Most homes in this area sit in a FEMA-designated AE Flood Zone, meaning that homeowners face a 1% annual chance of flooding. Homebuyers in the central part of West Easton will find single-family homes and twin homes embracing elements of Colonial Revival design with symmetrical facades, columned front porches and small detached garages or street parking. Prices range from around $200,000 for a two-bedroom twin to $330,000 for a four-bedroom Colonial Revival.

Community parks with sports courts and playsets
West Easton has two active parks. “You’ll see kids out walking around and riding their bikes,” Woodring says. Gerald W. Gross Community Park sits in the northwest corner of the borough and features a basketball court, ballfield and a playground for kids to explore. Residents can also head to Louis Niko Community Park, where a swing set and picnic tables sit atop a hill. The hill offers panoramic views of the Lehigh Valley and is a popular sledding spot in the winter.
