What are the bad areas in Easton, PA?

[Ivailo Dimov]

Hi,
I have been investing in Allentown / Bethlehem area, but currently looking into Easton, PA. What are the bad areas in there that I should stay away from investing? E.g. in Allentown I wouldn't invest anywhere east of 8th street and south of Tilghman. Are there areas like that in Easton and which ones are they? Thanks in advance!

“Bad” is very subjective. I have a property in Atown that’s south of Tilghman and close to 8th St. 12% cap and beautiful cash flow with a great tenant with a near 800 credit score. No problems at all. I don’t think Atown has a bad neighborhood compared to Philly, for example. My prop mgr (big player in Lehigh Valley area) says the properties in these “bad” areas in Atown, Bethlehem, and Easton perform the best.
