Allentown
Allentown
Allentown offers many of the attractions of larger cites, but with the advantage of affordable living and a calmer way of life. With a history of heavy industry and manufacturing, these days the city is positioning itself as a hub for the healthcare and biotech industries.

Pennsylvania's third most populous city, Allentown boasts two colleges, an art museum, two theatre companies, two symphony orchestras and the Municipal Opera Company of Allentown. In 2008, the Coca-Cola Park Baseball Stadium opened as the home field of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the Philadelphia Phillies' AAA-level minor league baseball team. The city also hosts the Great Allentown Fair every September at the Allentown Fairgrounds, where it has been held since 1889.
