    "I work a few miles out of town but it’s pretty easy to get out of my town and on the main roads. Sometimes the lights get backed up during rush hour but not that bad. "

    "We have so many beautiful walking trails that run along the river & along the canals. Most are nice flat trails great for walks or runs with your dog. For those with dogs who love playing fetch, tromping through the water, or for those more extreme we have some great hiking trails on the mountain. This is the perfect place for dog owners. The people in the neighborhood seem to be pleasant & nice with dogs & there owners, as long as you clean up after them. "

    "I grew up in Emmaus in the 1970's and always loved the small town community feel. After years of living in Allentown, Lower Macungie and Bethlehem, I got tired of the "city" feel. When looking for a house, I did my homework and knew the Slatington/Palmerton area was for me. I bought my house in Slatington and I am LOVING the area! I walk a lot, so the walkability was important. This area has it! Lots to see! Great history! Unlike Allentown and Bethlehem, I feel VERY safe in this area. If you are a younger, 20-something, you may want to pass. There isn't any "nightlife," meaning clubs, but there are a few great bars to frequent. All in all, it's a great area that has a true community feel to it. I'm loving the area and am VERY happy I bought my house here!"
