Welcome to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, known as "Christmas City USA." This historic community combines preserved colonial architecture with contemporary living options. The city's downtown showcases 18th-century Moravian buildings alongside newer residential developments and retail districts. One-bedroom apartments currently average $1,634 monthly, with a 3.9% year-over-year increase. Housing options range from historic row houses in the Central Historic District to apartments near Lehigh University's South Mountain campus. Notable areas include the SouthSide district with its thriving arts scene, the historic North Side, and the West Side in Lehigh County.
Bethlehem's heritage as a colonial Moravian settlement and former steel-manufacturing center shapes its present-day character. The SteelStacks arts campus, constructed on the former Bethlehem Steel site, hosts community events throughout the year, including Musikfest. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore 39 park sites across 568 acres, with paths along Monocacy Creek and the Lehigh River. The city is home to both Lehigh University and Moravian University, while the Wind Creek Bethlehem resort adds to the entertainment landscape. The city's Christmas connection dates to 1747 when residents displayed America's first decorated Christmas tree, establishing a holiday tradition that continues today.
