Run the numbers on Lehigh's on-campus housing and meal plan and you're typically looking at well over $20,000 for the year. A house like 516 Montclair Ave, split five ways, usually comes in well under that per student, and you get a full kitchen, your own bedroom, and shared common space instead of a dining hall swipe.
The house itself is a five-bedroom, two-bathroom layout at 1,500 square feet, which is a rare combination near Lehigh. Most rentals in South Bethlehem cap out at four bedrooms, so groups of five are often forced into awkward splits. Here, the bedroom count actually matches the group size.
Two full bathrooms is what keeps a five-person household functional on a daily basis. Without it, mornings before an 8 a.m. class turn into a logistics problem. With it, the extra bathroom barely comes up as a topic of conversation, which is exactly the point.
Montclair Avenue has a quieter, more residential feel than some of the more concentrated student blocks, while still putting Lehigh's campus and South Bethlehem's restaurants within an easy walk. It's a street where students tend to say the house felt like an actual home rather than just a place to sleep between classes.
