The Highlands at Glenmoor

The Highlands at Glenmoor is a gated 55+ active adult community in Palmer Township, Easton, Pennsylvania, developed by Traditions of America between 2004 and 2007. The community was completed with 251 homes — approximately 156 single-family homes and 95 attached units — giving it an intimately sized, established neighborhood feel rather than the sprawl of a mega-community. All homes are ranch-style with first-floor master suites; some have a second floor with a guest suite or loft, and most sit on slabs rather than basements. Attached homes range from roughly 1,542 to 2,500 square feet with two or three bedrooms, two or three baths, and attached two-car garages. Single-family homes run from approximately 1,807 to 2,783 square feet with two to four bedrooms. Interior features vary by home and resale, but common upgrades include hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, granite or quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, maple cabinetry, screened or glass sunrooms, gas fireplaces, and screened patios — reflecting Traditions of America's signature style. The centerpiece of community life is the clubhouse, which packs a lot into a compact footprint. Inside you'll find a fitness center, an aerobics and dance studio, a grand ballroom that hosts neighborhood events, social rooms, a card room, a crafts room, a library, a business center, a billiards area, a bar, locker rooms, and a catering/demonstration kitchen for shared meals and events. Outside, residents enjoy a heated outdoor pool and patio, tennis courts, bocce ball courts, shuffleboard courts, and walking and biking trails through the community's natural spaces. Social life leans casual and neighborly rather than highly programmed. Regular activities include aerobics, bocce ball, cards, crafts, poker, tennis, shuffleboard, and community-wide social events. The HOA handles lawn care, snow removal, exterior maintenance of driveways, roof and siding repairs, trash removal, common-area upkeep, and use of all facilities — meaning homeowners can lock up and travel without worrying about the yard or sidewalks in a Pennsylvania winter. Location is one of the community's strongest selling points. Highlands at Glenmoor sits just off Route 33 in Palmer Township, with a shopping center around the corner that includes Walmart, Wegmans, Hobby Lobby, Target, and a mix of fast-food and sit-down restaurants. Downtown Easton and its historic farmers market are a short drive south; Bethlehem's restaurants, boutiques, Wind Creek (formerly Sands) Casino, Zoellner Arts Center, and Burnside Plantation are roughly 15–20 minutes away. St. Luke's Hospital Anderson Campus is about two miles away, with Easton Hospital and St. Luke's Warren Hospital also close. Golfers have Southmoore Golf Course, Green Pond Country Club, and Sawmill Golf Course all within a short drive. Proximity to New Jersey and New York (Lehigh Valley International Airport is about 12 miles out) makes the Lehigh Valley location appealing to buyers relocating from the NY/NJ metro who want lower taxes and a slower pace without giving up access to the coast or the city.
