Long & Foster Living Bethlehem, PA
Bethlehem is a large town in southern Pennsylvania located in the greater Lehigh
Valley community. Bethlehem real estate is divided between Northampton and Lehigh
Counties. Known as “Christmas City USA,” Bethlehem has a great Colonial and industrial
history. The National Museum of Industrial History, an affiliate of the Smithsonian
Institute, calls Bethlehem real estate home. It is being built on the former Bethlehem
Steel site.
Bethlehem real estate investors can choose from three main neighborhoods: North
Bethlehem, South Bethlehem, and West Bethlehem. Families are especially attracted
to Bethlehem real estate thanks to the wealth of educational opportunities; both
Lehigh University and Moravian College are located in Bethlehem, which also boasts
nineteen elementary schools, four middle schools, and two high schools. And of the
more than 70,000 Bethlehem real estate owners, many commute to work in nearby Philadelphia.
