Walkable community near downtown Easton
West Ward is a vibrant neighborhood where rowhomes, local businesses and community spaces sit along narrow, gridded streets. “There are about 10,000 people in one square mile,” says Tanya Ruiz, the Manager of the West Ward Community Initiative. “I moved here in 2020, and some neighbors have been here for 50 years. One of my key sellers was that the neighborhood is within walking distance of downtown.” Tucked alongside downtown Easton at the intersection of the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers, West Ward offers a walkable community about 55 miles north of Philadelphia and 70 miles west of New York City.

The high school offers three Career and Technical Education programs that students can complete for college credit. Teens may also attend high school online at the Easton Cyber Academy.

Locals can enjoy lattes and bagels surrounded by greenery at Plants + Coffee or head to the mom-and-pop shop Noto’s Deli for classic sandwiches. Daddy’s Place is a casual Lebanese restaurant known for its homemade hummus and authentic kabobs. At Porters’ Pub, neighbors can sip microbrews and listen to live music long after sunset. Tucked below the commercial corridor are the brick buildings of the Northampton County Courthouse and Northampton County Prison, which sit in the southeastern corner of the neighborhood. Northampton Street connects residents to downtown Easton, where the Easton Public Market sells locally sourced foods year-round. Residents can also head 2 miles west to the Palmer Town Center and shop at chains like Giant and Home Depot.
