Characteristics
Transportation
Bowmanstown is particularly car friendly. It is especially convenient to find a place to park, and most real estate listings are a very short car ride from the closest highway. On the other hand, Bowmanstown is not very transit friendly. Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far from most houses. Bicycling is difficult in this part of the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton metropolitan area since riding a bicycle is made strenuous by the often steep topography, and the cycling network is not very comprehensive. Most houses for sale in this borough are located in areas that are also not very convenient for those who prefer to travel as pedestrians because running common errands is challenging without needing to get in a car.
Services
There are no high schools and no primary schools in Bowmanstown. With respect to food, in the majority of cases, a car is needed to purchase groceries. There are a few restaurants in Bowmanstown.
Character
The character of Bowmanstown is exemplified by its calm atmosphere. Bowmanstown is especially quiet overall, as there are usually low levels of noise from traffic. Parks aren't well-distributed, making it very hard to reach them. Still, there are a few public green spaces nearby for residents to discover, like East Penn Riverview Park.
