Northampton County USDA Loan

What areas of Northampton County are eligible for the USDA Mortgage Program?

As expected, the heavily populated region running from Bethlehem to Easton along the the Route 22 and Interstate 78 corridor is not eligible for USDA Financing.  Just north of Route 22 and just south of I-78, the entire county of Northampton does become USDA Eligible.

The largest towns in Northampton County that are eligible for a USDA loan include Nazareth, Hellertown, Bangor, and Pen Argyl.

 

South of I-78 and shortly North of Route 22 Northampton opens up as USDA Eligible
