About Belfast

Tucked into the rolling hills of Plainfield Township, Belfast is a small Northampton County community with around 1,300 residents. German and Welsh families first settled the area in the late 1700s, naming their new home after Belfast in Northern Ireland. Today, those agricultural roots are still easy to see across the surrounding open farmland, historic stone farmhouses, and quiet country roads.

For homebuyers looking at the Lehigh Valley, Belfast offers a quiet rural atmosphere without cutting you off from modern conveniences. Local kids attend the Pen Argyl Area School District, and easy access to Route 33 keeps commutes to Nazareth, Easton, and Bethlehem quick and simple. With nearby outdoor recreation at Jacobsburg State Park and a genuine country feel, it makes a peaceful home base in eastern Pennsylvania.
