Old Allentown Historic District marries grand 19th-century architecture with an easy downtown rhythm. Meticulously cared-for brick rowhouses, slate mansards, and Queen Anne details frame walkable blocks, and the Old Allentown Preservation Association sustains community pride with cleanups, porch socials, and a popular annual house tour. Living here places you minutes from the cultural core of Allentown: thought-provoking exhibitions at the Allentown Art Museum, big-ticket concerts and hockey at the PPL Center, plus chef-driven dining along Hamilton Street and the ArtsWalk.
Daily life runs smoothly, too. West Park’s band shell and shaded paths, Jordan Park’s green space, and the Allentown Public Library are nearby, and the Downtown Allentown Market makes weeknight dinners effortless. Commuters appreciate quick LANTA connections to Bethlehem and Easton, while Routes 22 and 78 open the rest of Lehigh County. Homes range from compact condos in converted mansions to three-story single-family rowhouses, many with rear gardens and alley access.
Families are served by the Allentown School District, with William Allen High School and a mix of magnet and arts opportunities across the city. Between heritage, amenities, and a real sense of neighborliness, Old Allentown Historic District feels both historic and forward-looking.
