Lehigh county is a beautiful area with both country and the city scenery. You can buy homemade honey from your local farmers street stand but also get a New York style bagel a little further up the street. You get to experience the best of both worlds in my opinion. Our schools vary from a variety of accredited universities along with more affordable community colleges as well. There are many outside activities to do during all four seasons which is a plus for out of town visitors and even local residents. Night life for the young adults is even rockin'!
As a resident of Lehigh County for the entirety of my life, I have nothing else to really compare it to. However, I am pleased with my current living situation in this area. Most people that I meet take pride in living in Lehigh County and for good reasons too.
Nice people. Parks around the area are good to visit. Many are dog- friendly. Fair amount of restaurants and bars. Some city, some suburban, a bit of country- type living.
