Traditions of America at Bridle Path is a 55+ community in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, built in 2016, and it's meant for active adults who want to live easily and independently, so the homes there come in single-family and condominium styles and include features like two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a two-car attached garage with a garage door opener, plus you'll find cathedral ceilings, an open-concept living area, a well-equipped kitchen, a stone fireplace, and hardwood floors throughout, and the master suite stands out with a window seat, en suite bath with double sinks, a zero-entry shower, and a walk-in closet, making life comfortable for seniors who want single-level living. This community runs with a Homeowners Association, and the monthly fee covers exterior maintenance, helping folks spend more time on the things they enjoy instead of worrying about chores, and homes are designed with ranch architecture using stone and vinyl siding, with choices through the DreamHome program so people can personalize some pieces like siding colors or the look of their home, and most homes include storm windows, a porch, a screened area, and a private road frontage with paved surfaces, so moving around is usually easy.
Residents have access to a 10,000 square foot clubhouse packed with features seniors seem to use and appreciate like a fitness room, aerobics and dance studio for exercise, a sports bar and lounge, a club room, billiards and card rooms, and an arts room, plus there's a heated pool with a cabana for relaxing, outdoor paths for walking, and parks and green space close to the Bethlehem Golf Club, so views are peaceful and the location feels close to nature but still just a short drive away from downtown Bethlehem's shops and doctors if ever needed. There's a full-time Lifestyle Director who arranges daily activities, clubs, parties, social trips, exercise classes, games, and more, aiming to help neighbors get to know each other and stay busy with things they like, and the schedule changes often so it doesn't get dull, and since the grounds are low maintenance, residents can focus on fun, hobbies, and relaxing instead of yard work.
