Located in the heart of downtown, City Center Allentown residents are steps away from terrific restaurants, shops, and theaters. Award-winning and vibrant, City Center is one of Allentown’s fastest-growing neighborhoods. The Allentown ArtsWalk highlights area artisans through various studios and galleries, along with the Baum School of Art. ArtsWalk includes the Miller Symphony Hall, Arts Park, and the Allentown Art Museum.
Downtown Allentown is becoming the regional hub of arts and culture, but it is also filled with fantastic restaurants and beautiful parks. Local favorites include the Dime Restaurant and Bar, Fegley’s Allentown Brew Works, and Luna’s Bakery. Nearby parks include Fountain Park, Valania Park, Jackson Street Park, and Allen Park, which is home to the Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum. Sports fans will appreciate being close to PPL Center, home of the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team. City Center extends from 7th Street to 4th Street in Downtown Allentown between Old Allentown, the Hamilton District, and 1st Ward.
