If you've visited before and are thinking about moving here, or maybe you've never been, watch this video for my top 10 reasons I think YOU should move to the Lehigh Valley.

Thanks for stopping by, so glad you landed here. Whether you’re a first time home buyer, thinking about putting your house on the market, considering Living in the Lehigh Valley area, or just obsessed with Real Estate (like me), my channel is here to provide you with some helpful & interesting tips & tricks about the local real estate market.

I’m Tara Roy and I’m a full-time Realtor with eXp Realty in Easton, PA. I was born and raised in Bethlehem, PA until I moved to Malibu, CA for college. I started my Advertising career in Los Angeles and later transferred to New York City and, honestly, after all that big city living…I never thought that I would come back to living in the Lehigh Valley.

BUT, am I ever glad I did! This sweet little valley is hopping with restaurants, cafes, concerts, galleries, community events, festivals, hiking trails, river sports, and so much more. It’s fun and friendly and an all-around amazing place to live. Now in my 2nd career as a Realtor, I get to relive the excitement I had when I bought my home in this awesome area – what a delight to help people BUY & SELL houses all the time!

I just moved here from NYC… bought my first home and with NO mortgage! I always rented in NYC and so did my parents my whole 33 years! I wouldn’t have been able to buy a home paid in full like this in NYC and I’m so happy here. I absolutely love the area and my home. I still commute to NYC twice a week for work and it’s literally an hour and 15 minutes away by car!!

Was born and raised there in a little place called Bloomsbury. Moved to Houston in 79 now was think about moving back but you got out to many taxes on property and on your SS

Great marketing piece! So much to offer here!

[alexandermiller]

I was looking into the valley because I’m stopping over on my way from NH to NC. This video was the cutest thing I’ve seen in a while. You remind me of Carrie Bradshaw, with the hair texture and the positive energy. Thank you so much for sharing your local expertise.

Last year I moved back home to Easton after nearly 20 years in New Orleans. Housing prices here are absurd and beyond the reach of the average worker. Just because it's more affordable than NYC doesn't mean it's affordable.

And Dorney Park should be on every one of these "Top Ten Reasons" lists.

Tara..this is an excellent video. Great B-roll, good graphics, upbeat and very well edited plus great info. Nice job

[JewishKeto]

Thanks for the video. I am looking into moving to the LHV to be closer to my girlfriend.

[carrienuon]

I moved to the LV back in 2008 and I absolutely love it here

[giorgiaalexanderactingothe]

Tara, what made you relocate from Brooklyn to PA?!

[Smd]

I live in the Lehigh Valley. You brought up some great things. I have to say that the Lehigh Valley is overpriced for what the average person makes in the area. A single person with an average LHV paycheck can not afford to live beyond the paycheck to paycheck. There are great companies that are in the area but the average pay has not gone up though the price for housing has gone up significantly. The cost of a home has gone up by 1/3 at least in the last 20 years where the average pay has not.

Very clear and easy explanation,
I am planning to move to USA, LV seems perfect for my retirement.
Thanks

Love it! As a huge sports fan I just wanted to contribute to #9. LV is also home to “the rivalry” between Lehigh and Lafayette which includes the most-played series in all of college football. And if you’ve yet to see an amateur wrestling match you might consider it. It’s a great sport and Lehigh University’s wrestling team is perennially ranked in the top 15 in the nation.

How would you go about making the move? Do you find a job first or just save up and just move then find a job?

[christopherrichards]

I just sold on LI NY, renting in L.V. and looking to buy here. All the great things you mentioned are pushing home prices up & up. While the rest of the county's real estate cools, it seems houses here are still in high demand. Any decent house goes pending in a few days.

Fun fact : Allentown is in the Lehigh valley and is the 3rd largest city in PA

[brightsideperspectives]

Would I be able to find a two bedroom condo in Easton?

[shawneldridge]

: } i moved here 5 years ago and yes i am loving living here in the L.V. Its awesome

[aracelissantana]

Please you can to move to Bethlehem in April 1 . In the quiet area . Near pre-k school. Thank you !

[seancrowley]

I'm moved from Allentown to the DELAWARE VALLEY which by far is so much better than the LV.
