The Villas at Saucon Valley: Perfectly Placed

Saucon Valley is perhaps the most prestigious neighborhood in the Lehigh Valley. Located adjacent to Bethlehem in between Allentown and Easton, it is approximately 60 miles north of Philadelphia, 75 miles west of New York city, less than 100 miles from New Jersey shore points and less than 50 miles to various Poconos ski slopes. Its location is a major reason why so many people have chosen to make Saucon Valley their home in the past 20 years.

The Villas at Saucon Valley have a great address (Goodman Drive at Mountain Drive South, Bethlehem) with inviting long-distance mountain views and a unique setting across from Lehigh University's Goodman Campus with its miles of running paths, mountain bike course, golf driving range and tennis courts. Once home to large family farms (and still quite rural in some areas), Saucon Valley became a highly respected address starting in the early 20th century, when a number of Bethlehem Steel and other business executives built their homes there. In 1920, Saucon Valley Country Club was founded and now offers some of the most esteemed private golf courses in the U.S. The Villas at Saucon Valley are just a three-minute drive from the club as well as just five minutes from Silver Creek Country Club. Lehigh Country Club is just 20 minutes away. This proximity has been a major selling point for many of the residents who have chosen this beautifully designed boutique condominium community.

Because the Lehigh Valley is home to six higher education institutions (Lehigh University, Lafayette College, Muhlenberg College, Cedar Crest College, DeSales University and Moravian College), plus Pennsylvania State University's Center Valley campus, many interesting speakers come to town each academic year.
