Williams Township of Northampton County Pennsylvania appeals to New York and New Jersey residents looking to make the switch from city to country living. Residents are large here, often upscale and settled on acres. “People have big, sweeping lawns and most houses are 2700 square feet and up,” says Realtor Johnathan Williams of Re/Max Real Estate. Miller’s parents used to live in Williams. “It’s mostly a residential area, but there is one Italian restaurant.” The township also has a golf club, several parks and easy access to the surrounding area as Interstates 78 and 622 both run along its borders. Surrounded by mountains, Williams is also west of Lehigh River, a 109-mile tributary flowing southward from the Pocono Mountains.

Homes in Williams Township rest on sloping hillsides and range from small ranch-style properties to grand McMansions in colonial and new traditional styles – many of which have wraparound porches. From an aerial perspective, it’s clear that half of the area is forest. Yards are pristinely tended, as are the roads here. Large lawns meet with tall trees, offering locals plenty of privacy. A three-bedroom house within its own patch of forest may go for $540,000 in this township and an upscale five-bedroom home on 2 acres may range from $650,000 to $910,000. Though the average home listing is around $400,000, the entry point to this area can be as low as $200,000 for a two-bedroom home that needs a little love, even when it’s on a few acres.

When asked what people get up to around here, Miller says “They spend their time mowing their lawns. They also visit the State Theatre to watch live music and shows and dine at restaurants in downtown Easton.” Come summertime, people use the waterway for fishing and swimming and come winter, the mountains for skiing. The 18-hole Morgan Hill Golf Course is also a favorite. So are visits to the Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary with its walking trails and Delaware River overlook. The sanctuary often has events, including “Pints on the Preserve,” where locals gather at its pavilion to drink craft beer. They also host art exhibits and volunteer-led landscaping and gardening projects.

You will need a car in Williams as the area is vast. For dinner, neighbors might head to local Crivellaro's Ristorante for its fresh Italian fare and cozy atmosphere. For more options, Easton is 6 miles north via Morgan Hill Road. Among its restaurants Miller recommends Three Oak Steakhouse. "There’s also River Grille and 3rd & Ferry Fish Market and a few new Indian restaurants.” The interior of Three Oaks is ornately furnished with repurposed materials, giving it a rustic yet elegant look. Easton’s Palmer Town Center, 5 miles down Morgan Hill Road, also has a Giant, Marshalls, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Home Depot. The nearest airport is Lehigh Valley International – 16 miles east along Route 22.

Students in Williams Township are served by the highly regarded Wilson Area School District. Schools along this district’s pipeline include Wilson Township Elementary School, Wilson Area Intermediate School and Wilson Area High School. The elementary school earns a B-plus rating, the middle school scores a B and the high school an A-minus rating. The intermediate school has a host of clubs, including drama, French, science, band and art.

Williams offers plenty of outdoor fun and an upscale country lifestyle.

Williams Township is a small, close knit community. If I was to change anything, I would add a truly local library and a community pool. I would also like for a fundraiser for the fire station to deliver presents for a small fee to houses who sign up and bring the presents so kids can see "Santa" arrive. This was a fundraiser in a previous town, and it was amazing to see the positivity.
