Residents who thrive here value its mix of long‑time homeowners, newer investors, and commuters who like being close to Center City, the Waterfront project, and major employers.
Housing in 1st Ward ranges from older row homes and twins that appeal to first‑time buyers to multifamily properties that can work for house hacking or small‑scale investment. Proximity to the Jordan Creek Greenway and Jordan Park adds outdoor options without leaving the neighborhood. Families often look at nearby schools within the Allentown School District and appreciate having the Allentown Public Library and cultural spots like the Allentown Art Museum a short drive away.
Commuters benefit from quick connections to downtown Allentown, surrounding neighborhoods like Old Allentown and Jordan Heights, as well as regional routes that link to Lehigh County. Local buyers watch for properties with off‑street parking or updated systems, while sellers focus on pricing for condition and rental potential.
Because value can shift block by block, working with an agent who understands 1st Ward’s streets, recent sales, and rental demand is essential. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with professionals who know these neighborhood‑level details and can align them with the right strategy.

“Zack did an outstanding job marketing our home! His research and professional advice regarding pricing, and the extra measures he took in showcasing the house and property, made a tremendous impact in the sale of our home. He's also a real pleasure to work with. Thank you, Zack!”
“1000/1000 he is great and comfortable”
“This was a challenging home to market & sell (high HOA fees in a 55 community) but Darryl's (Darryl Shands) persistence and willingness to invest his time and go the extra mile got us through. When our first Buyer's financing fell through, we met and strategized what next stpes would be. The seasons had changed and the home had now been vanat for 2 months. We spent a weekend freshening up the exterior of the home and improving its curb appeal and Darryl re-launched our listing with a new Open House and a very small price reduction. He secured multiple new offers and got us back under agreement in a week. His advice on pricing and negotiations was vital in our eventual deal and we walked away from closing very satisfied. We are very thankful for his partnership.”
