At $3,100 a month for four bedrooms, 539 Carlton Ave splits to $775 per person, which gets you onto Lehigh's most in-demand student street for close to what students pay on quieter, less convenient blocks elsewhere in South Bethlehem. Location this good doesn't usually come at a discount, but the per-person math here works.
The house runs 1,344 square feet, which is on the tighter end for a four-bedroom, so bedrooms and common space are efficient rather than oversized. For a group that mostly wants a home base between classes and doesn't need extra square footage to pay for, that trade-off tends to work in the budget's favor.
One bathroom serves the house, which is worth knowing upfront for a group of four coordinating morning schedules. Plenty of Carlton Avenue houses run this way, and most groups adjust within the first couple of weeks.
What you're really paying for is the street. Carlton Avenue is a short, flat walk to Lehigh's academic buildings and library, and it's dense with other Lehigh students, so the social side of living off campus mostly takes care of itself here.
Carlton Avenue houses don't sit on the market long once they list. If this price point and this street both matter to you, text 484-206-5522 soon, most groups who want Carlton specifically sign in October or November for the following year.
