Designated by the state as a village center, Allentown boasts a thriving downtown business district within its 0.6-square-mile area.
The borough's downtown is alive with many crafts and antiques shops and attracts visitors from throughout the region.
Adding to the charm of downtown are the many historical buildings, which have secured the historic district a spot in the National Register of Historic Places.
The borough remains an attractive option for those who enjoy a small-town atmosphere but want the perks of municipal services, such as water and sewer utilities and a police department.
