About Slatington

Tucked along the Lehigh River in northern Lehigh County, Slatington is a quiet, small-town community with deep industrial roots and plenty of historic character. Located about twenty miles northwest of Allentown and Bethlehem, the borough is home to roughly 4,300 residents. You'll quickly notice its unique heritage in the distinctive slate-roofed Victorian homes and steep, scenic hillsides that rise above the river valley. For homebuyers looking for an affordable alternative to the busier hubs of the Lehigh Valley, Slatington offers a relaxed pace with genuine neighborhood charm.

Daily life here centers around outdoor recreation and a tight-knit community. Families are served by the Northern Lehigh School District, and locals often gather at Victory Park for summer swims, disc golf, and town events. The nearby D&L Trail and riverfront offer miles of walking and biking paths right in your backyard. When you need broader amenities, Walnutport is right across the bridge, and major employers, shopping centers, and hospitals across Allentown and Bethlehem are an easy half-hour drive away.
