The neighborhoods around Cedar Beach Park and the West End have the most active professional walking demand. The city's diverse population creates a range of service expectations across different neighborhoods.
Bethlehem, immediately adjacent to Allentown, has developed a stronger arts and dining scene centered on the historic SteelStacks site. The Bethlehem community's character is somewhat more affluent and arts-oriented than Allentown proper, creating a slightly different market dynamic.
