College Hill is a residential neighborhood in Easton, Pennsylvania. The neighborhood is situated on a hill overlooking downtown Easton. Lafayette College borders the neighborhood on its southwest side. The northern boundary of the neighborhood is Forks Township. The boundary lies along Chestnut Ridge, a steep hill that rises to 700 feet.

The neighborhood has 855 buildings, primarily built between 1830 and 1940.[2] The district contains a mix of architectural styles, including Gothic Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Stick Style, Colonial Revival, Classical Revival, Tudor Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival, Georgian Revival, Foursquare, and Homestead Temple House.[2]

One notable building is 200 High St. designed in 1888 by McKim, Mead, and White. The building is currently owned by Lafayette College and used as a student residence. It was built John Eyerman, a Lafayette alumnus and faculty member, as a gift to his bride Lucy Maxwell.[3]

Specific properties on the National Register of Historic Places include 630 Weygadt Dr.[4]

Many College Hill residents are professors at Lafayette College. Generally, residents of College Hill are fairly wealthy and well educated.
