Emmaus, PA is a Charming Place 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I've been living in Emmaus, Pennsylvania ever since I got married 14 years ago. I cannot say enough about what a wonderful place this has been for myself and my family. It's just the kind of place that you always hope you can find to make your home in. The people here are amazing ...Read More , the best neighbors and friends anyone could ask for. The schools here are fantastic. They put the kids first and make certain that they get the education that they are coming to school to get. The crime rate is pleasingly low. We have lovely communities that are well cared for by the people who live in them, and everyone always has a ready smile for everyone whether they've been here for 10 years or 10 minutes.


For fun and entertainment, we have some pretty interesting things to do around here. There's The Colony Meadery, Wildlands Conservancy, Paint on Main where you can create a piece of artwork while you enjoy a glass of wine, the Emmaus Farmer's Market, Out Of Our Hands arts and crafts, and Living Room Yoga for those of us who need a little extra R&R from time to time.
