Hamburg sits along the Schuylkill River just 40 minutes west of Allentown. Despite its modest size, Hamburg is ripe with history, both tangible and not. The Hamburg Historic District encompasses over 400 buildings within the borough, all drawing on different styles of architecture. Wandering the downtown area is like experiencing classic Americana, with storefronts seemingly stuck in time and American flag buntings adorning many businesses.

3rd St. Café serves up down-home cooking, and 1787 Brewing Company is a popular locals spot. Outside of the restaurant scene, residents flock to the Hamburg Borough Swimming Pool to beat the heat during the summer. Three-story townhomes and Victorian homes inhabit the surrounding area, offering renters some of the most distinctive properties in the state.

Commuters will appreciate I-78 that runs through the city, making the rest of east Pennsylvania easily accessible.
