West Walnut puts you close to the action without giving up residential calm. A few blocks west of Allentown's arena district, these streets are lined with sturdy brick twins and tidy rowhomes. On foot or bike, residents can reach headline acts and hockey at the PPL Center, galleries and family programs at the Allentown Art Museum, and orchestral performances at Miller Symphony Hall. West Park, with its gazebo and seasonal concerts, anchors weekend strolls.
Families appreciate everyday convenience: Raub Middle School and William Allen High School serve the area through the Allentown School District, and neighborhood bodegas, cafés, and services dot Walnut, 15th, and Hamilton. The Allentown Fairgrounds sit just up the road, and the Allentown Fairgrounds Farmers Market is a beloved stop for fresh produce, pierogies, and bakery treats. Commuters find quick access to major routes, while proximity to Bethlehem expands dining and employment options across Lehigh County. Whether you’re upgrading space, seeking a manageable first home, or planning a strategic sale, West Walnut offers the blend of urban energy and neighborhood ease that keeps people rooted. If you’re ready to tour homes or list with confidence, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate professional who knows West Walnut inside and out and will guide buyers and sellers from first conversation to a successful closing.
