Great place to live with a family close to Bath-Nazareth. (Bethlehem: apartment, to rent)

Dears,
We are an Italian family with two children (4 and 22 months old) coming from Italy for businees issues. We would appreciate a lot some suggestions concerning some very good areas to live for families with young children especially not too far from the Bath - Nazareth area where I have to work (let's say 20 min by car not more) with highly rated private schools and good child care as well as play grounds and supermarkets. We don't know anything about the area and we are looking for a 3-4 bedroom townhome or detached house to rent for $2000 a month. Any help would be helpful.
Thanks a lot.

There are a lot of places the fit your requirements in the area. I'd suggest Nazareth for a more urban setting, or upper/lower Nazareth townships if you want a bigger yard.

Bethlehem Township. They have a great community center, which will be useful with your little ones. Lots of families in the area.

I'm sorry, not intentionally withholding information, but we never looked up in that area of Lehigh County. I don't think there are any private schools in Bath or Nazareth, but the two best ones closest to that area are Swain The Swain School, Private school, independent school, private education, private middle school, private elementary school and Moravian Academy - Moravian Academy Excellent private schools.
