A popular landing spot with plenty of open land
Stationed near the northern border of Northampton County, Bushkill Township serves as a popular landing spot sandwiched between Wind Gap and Nazareth. Known for its strong nearby schools and proximity to outdoor adventures, it's hardly surprising that Bushkill Township is experiencing an uptick in population. "A lot of people come in from New Jersey or New York, and we've especially seen that in the past couple years," says local Realtor Tracy Ziemba of Berkshire Hathaway Fox & Roach Realtors, who lived in the township for several years. "People will sell their high-priced home in New York and move over to Pennsylvania in Bushkill Township because they have land and space, and you can get more home for your money."

Split-levels and colonials accents sit on large lots
Bushkill Township offers a wide range of home styles and architectural frameworks from split-levels and ranch-style dwellings to larger properties with colonial accents on huge, sprawling lots. A smaller 1,000-square-foot home can price between $100,000 and $300,000 while properties with five bedrooms may range from $400,000 to upwards of $1 million. The housing market in Bushkill is competitive, mainly because of the strong schools in the area and the large lot sizes. "There's kind of a township rule in Bushkill that homes need to be on an acre or more of land, so everyone has more space to spread out," Ziemba says. "Typically what I see happening is people will move to Nazareth for the school district, and when their kids get a little bit older, they go to Bushkill Township so they can have a little bit more space." According to Ziemba, homes in Bushkill Township usually tend to sell quicker than the national average.

Locals will need a car to navigate the area. On the plus side, Bushkill residents can get to Philadelphia or New York City in under two hours thanks to Route 33, which connects to multiple nearby highways.
Dining options range from traditional American cuisine to all things chicken
Despite being more of a rural community, Bushkill Township residents have lots of nearby restaurants to choose from. Family & Friends Country is an area staple for its robust breakfast menu and outdoor picnic area while The Chicken Corner is popular among lovers of all things chicken. Cherry Hill Hotel's bar and grill also draws guests in search of traditional American foods from burgers to pork chops. For groceries, locals often pick up fresh meats and produce from Ahart's Market 5 miles west in Bath while additional shopping options can be found closer to Nazareth.
