The Norfolk Southern Railway's Reading Line runs through Allentown heading west to Reading, Pennsylvania.
Allentown was cited as a "national success story" in April 2016 by the Urban Land Institute for its downtown redevelopment and transformation, one of only six communities in the country to have been named as such.

Hi my name is TraceyAnn, I am a hard worker and I go the extra mile to achieve my goals in any job I get
nice place to live. Friendly neighbors, community engagement is great, transportation and bus stop in neighborhood
Reasonably good public transportation; Eight higher education institutions within an eighteen mile radius; excellent hospitals and medical facilities.
Muhlenberg College neighborhood with a nice mix of young families, senior citizens, and students. Very good public transportation, several public and parochial elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school, and one four-year college. Churches and synagogues fulfill the spiritual needs of neighborhood residents. In addition, two hospitals address the health needs of neighborhood residents. Finally, the West End District has a number of coffee houses, restaurants, diners, and doughnut shops, where residents gather for meals and to socialize.
