Fountain Hill, PA

Perched on the hillside right next to Bethlehem, Fountain Hill is a small Lehigh Valley borough with a population of under 5,000. Though it sits in Lehigh County as its own independent town, it blends right into neighboring Bethlehem, giving residents a quiet neighborhood atmosphere alongside everyday convenience. Tree-lined streets feature a mix of charming older Victorians, historic mansions, and modest single-family homes tucked into less than a square mile.

The community is anchored by the flagship campus of St. Luke’s University Hospital, which serves as a major healthcare provider and regional employer. Families have Fountain Hill Elementary right in town through the Bethlehem Area School District, along with several neighborhood parks scattered across the hill. With Lehigh University, SteelStacks, and South Bethlehem’s arts and dining scene just down the road, it is an easy and comfortable place to call home.
