Where the Heck is Nazareth, PA? - Nazareth, PA Relocation Package

"Nazareth, PA?  Where the heck is Nazareth, PA?"  I have heard this from a number of people from out of state.  So, to help give you an idea, I will do my best to explain the area and give you a quick overview.

Nazareth, PA is a nice, quiet, little town, located in central, eastern part of Pennsylvania.  It is part of the Lehigh Valley, north of Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton, PA.  New Jersey is only 20 minutes away.  New York City and Philadelphia are only 1 1/2 hours away.  Even though Nazareth is a small town, it is close to major routes, shopping and malls, and recreation.  For those of you that are into NASCAR, it is home to the Andretti family. 

Main St., Nazareth, PANazareth has many things to offer, especially if you are a history buff.  On Main St., in downtown Nazareth, there are quaint little shops that offer friendly service.  These shops are located in historic buildings, dated from the late 1700's to 1800's.  One store that is great to spend an afternoon in is Nazareth Furniture   Nazareth Furniture used to be a hotel years ago and the owners have tried to keep it as original as possible.  It offers different types of furniture set up in the original hotel rooms.  Some of the rooms even have the original old style phones on the wall. 

The Nazareth area is packed full of history and many things to do.  It has the Whitfield House and Museum, the Gray Cottage, Jacobsburg State Park  C.F. Martin & Company (better known as Martin Guitar) and many historic homes to name a few. 

Nazareth holds many events throughout the year.  For example, in June you have the Nazareth Carnival, assorted parades throughout the year, walking tours, tree lighting and arrival of Santa the first Thursday after Thanksgiving, car show, go cart races, etc. 

Nazareth is also well known for an excellent school system.  Many move into the area just for the schools.  My children have attended the schools, so I am speaking from experience.  In addition to offering a good education, they also offer many after school activities and clubs for the children to get involved in.  Nazareth HS is known to have an excellent orchestra and band and drama club.  Nazareth Band is consistently in the top 3 places in competitions.  The drama club offers great plays and musicals.  Many throughout the Lehigh Valley attend the numerous performances and usually have a full house.                                       Residential area in Nazareth, PA

Nazareth is a great area to live.  The people are friendly, you know your neighbors and they tend to help each other out, plenty of activities for all ages, and full of history.  Even the churches have some history to them.  There is even an assisted living facility. 

So, if you are tired of city living and are looking for a better life for your family with a small town feel, you will find it here in Nazareth.  You will not regret the move.

BRIGITA - It sounds like Nazareth offers some interesting opportunities for buyers.  It's not often that you can find a quaint, small town that is commutable to two major cities.

Adam:

Nazareth has many things to offer.  There are many from NY and NJ that are moving here because of low taxes (comprable to their taxes) and within commuting distance to the cities.
