Description
1611 East 8th Street in Bethlehem is now being made available for purchase. The sale of this parcel will also include the purchase of the adjoining parcel, 1613 East 8th Street.
These parcels were previously adjoining halves of a ‘twin’ home and is located in Southside Bethlehem. Only a portion of the masonry foundations of the homes are still present and the primary opportunity for a buyer would be to remove the foundations and construct a new dwelling. Located less than 5 minutes from the Windcreek Casino and the heavily developed 3rd Street Southside corridor, this is an valuable opportunity for a buyer to construct a new home (s) and capitalize on the return of a new home sale or keep the homes as rental properties. The parcels are in the Bethlehem Opportunity Zone which offers tax advantages for a buyer who’s investment remains in place for a certain amount of time. Please contact the City of Bethlehem for details.
The properties are located in the RM Residential Zoning District and the parcels will not be sold separately

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school did not challenge my 7 year old son whatsoever. His math homework consisted of (0+0 and 1+2) and his spelling "a, of the" come on? Really? I was very glad it was only temporary now he is getting challenged at his new school and writing sentences, even stories. The office staff was unknowledgeable and unprofessional and the principal I did not see once, which was strange, I looked her up on the internet to see what she looked like. No child deserves to be cheated of a quality education and someone should further investigate this school and find that what these kids are learning are possibly things they should have learned 2 years ago.Parent Review11y ago - East Hills Middle School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible school. The dress code is sexist, the teachers don't teach well (they give answers and don't teach), fights happen so often and the school doesn't do anything about it. Some of these fights have blood. There was a week of just fights. Three years and the only good teachers there were my seventh grade geography teacher and seventh grade ELA teacher. If you need to go to guidance, you rarely actually get to. Students are limited to having 3 passes to leave the classroom a day (leaving the classroom means going to your locker, bathroom, library, anything). If you've used up all three passes and need to use the bathroom, then oh well. A year or two prior, there were maggots in the milk and food. The lockers are too small to fit anything and a year ago there were ants in the lockers.Student Review2y ago - Freedom High School
