AboutEaston City
Honoring the past while embracing a dynamic future
At the confluence of the Lehigh and Delaware rivers sits Easton, a small historic town on the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border and nearly equidistant from Philadelphia and New York City. Easton is renowned as one of three places where the Declaration of Independence was publicly read days after its signing in July 1776. It also emerged as an industrial center due to its location on two rivers, the construction of the Lehigh Canal and the building of five major railroads through the area, making Easton a hub for transportation and manufacturing.
Easton, however, is not stuck in the past; today, its vibrant downtown offers over 100 shops and eateries. Centre Square, where the historic reading occurred, is a center of community life, featuring the Crayola Experience, an interactive learning playground with over 20 exhibits. The Easton Public Market, which opened near the square, features food vendors, a farm stand and a full-service grocery store. “The city has done a tremendous job of revitalizing the downtown,” says Associate Broker Desiree Carroll with Keller Williams Northampton. Carroll remembers how distressed the area was when she started selling real estate in 2007. “Now there are tons of restaurants and things to do.”
With a lower tax rate than New Jersey, a population of nearly 30,000 and ample amenities for active lifestyles, Easton has become a favorite of commuters. “Homebuyers who want more than a suburban lifestyle are attracted to the walkability, breweries, riverfront and historic homes in Easton,” says Broker/Owner Clay Mitman of Berkshire Hathaway Paul Ford Realtors. A fifth-generation resident, Mitman is proud to say that his extended family lives no more than six blocks from each other in College Hill, an Easton neighborhood. “It’s exciting to see young families in their 20s gutting and restoring homes, embracing the history around them. It’s the perfection of imperfection that makes this community so special.”
The city has capitalized on its waterfront location recently, building new apartment buildings with rooftop terraces, such as the Watermark and the Commodore. These buildings take advantage of the city skyline and waterfront views of the Lehigh and Delaware rivers. Hearst Publishing, which produces specialty magazines like Bicycling, chose to locate in Easton because of the city’s biking trails and the community’s willingness to test new equipment and write reviews. Lafayette College, another major employer, has supported the city by developing several properties downtown. “There are few cities where you can walk from home and go trout fishing, bike for 5 or 10 miles, and see a concert in the park,” Mitman says. With a high temperature of 84 degrees in July and a low of 22 degrees in January, the challenging part of living in Easton reserving a spot in the Poconos, about 50 miles north, during the height of ski season.
About Palmer Township
A residential area with rural and suburban atmospheres
Suburban and rural communities make up the character of Palmer, a neighborhood with proximity to Easton, Nazareth and several other towns in eastern Pennsylvania. With wide-ranging, open land comprising portions of its north side and more residential streets lining the southern region, two distinct styles of living help define the neighborhood. “Palmer is unique because it sits between the two major highways, 22 and 33,” says Jonathan Campbell, the CEO of the Campbell Team. “It’s almost all residential. There’s the Easton School District, a lot of residential homes and a Wegmans grocery store.” Dozens of parks and local flair line an area in which shopping centers can give way to farmland and vice versa.
About College Hill
Ranging across forested ridges above the banks of the Delaware River and Bushkill Creek, College Hill's natural beauty and classic architecture add historic character to the blocks surrounding Lafayette College. Lafayette itself is a small, private college, enrolling fewer than 3,000 undergraduates in liberal arts and engineering programs as well as a 140-year football rivalry with Lehigh University. “It’s called College Hill for a reason, there’s a mix of Lafayette faculty and students who love living on these beautiful, tree-lined streets,” says Hubert Etchison, president of the College Hill Neighborhood Association. “I live on one of the busiest roads on the hill, and the amount of birds I hear singing is unbelievable. It’s not unusual to see a deer walking down the street.” Overlooking downtown Easton, College Hill is in equal measure a snapshot of tranquil, tree-shaded streetscapes and a lively, active college town roaring with Lafayette Leopard pride.
Blocks of historic manors and attached homes
From Lafayette College’s oldest buildings to nearby blocks of residential streets, College Hill is a tapestry of 19th century and early 20th century architectural styles. “I grew up on College Hill. Those extremely well-maintained, classic properties – they're amazing. You don’t see that so much around universities like Lehigh or Muhlenburg,” says Joe McGavin, a Realtor with Realty One Group who has specialized in the Lehigh Valley market since 1976. “People are looking for a very specific type of old home. They know that comes with maintenance.” Grand manors with upward of five bedrooms run the gambit from stately Federal forms to rambling, Queen Anne silhouettes, selling for $800,000 to upward of $1 million. Many of the area’s churches are equally striking, like the towering stone steeples of the College Hill Presbyterian Church, and Colton Chapel, an on-campus building with elegant Beaux-Arts influence.
Smaller early 20th century single-family homes with pocket-sized, tree-shaded front yards sell for $300,000 to $700,000, while updated twin homes and row houses whose front doors and porches are flush with the sidewalk sell for $125,000 to $300,000. While there are many rental properties throughout the area, most residents own their homes.
