A small-town community with an active social calendar
Macungie (ma-CUN-gee), a Lenape Native American word that translates as “feeding place of the bears,” fits this second-oldest borough in Lehigh County well. First settled by German immigrants in 1735, Macungie is surrounded by wildlife and wilderness in the foothills of Brenner-Penfield Macungie Mountain. What draws people together are community events, such as antique car and craft shows, and holiday parades with carnival rides, games and food trucks.
“Macungie Memorial Park is the center of community life,” says Cheryl Snyder Teichman, an associate broker with Re/Max 440, who lives five minutes from Macungie and knows the area well. “It may be a small community on the outskirts of Allentown, but it’s growing and offers many opportunities for people to socialize and live close to their jobs.” Macungie is home to the Allen Organ Company and a short drive to employers Smooth-On, a rubber and plastics company, and Bear Creek Mountain Resort, a year-round vacation facility. In 2024, Lehigh Valley Hospital opened its first neighborhood hospital on Main Street in Macungie. The new hospital features a medical center and an emergency department with state-of-the-art imaging equipment.
Abundant shopping, a good school district and a hospital nearby also satisfy many homebuyer wish lists. “It used to be all farmland, but it’s grown a lot,” says Michelle Weber, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomesServices Fox and Roach Realtors and a longtime area resident. “It’s close to everything — ski resorts, parks, shopping. It’s a convenient place to live.”

Community events at Macungie Memorial Park
If something is happening in town, it’s probably at Macungie Memorial Park. From Easter Bunny meet-and-greets to pet shows, the park offers a full, nonstop calendar of events throughout the year.
The Macungie Farmers Market, which supports local growers and producers, occurs every Thursday evening from mid-May until the end of October. Shoppers can stock up on fresh produce, farm-fresh eggs, homemade pierogies, and specialty items like wines and local craft beer.
Craft fairs, collectible shows and fundraisers in the park occur almost every month.
Recreational facilities in or near Macungie
Macungie Memorial Park is more than an event space; here, baseball players have access to multiple fields, tennis players have two courts, kids can explore playgrounds, and the whole community can enjoy the outdoor pool. Next to the park, the F3 Lehigh Valley is a boot camp facility that provides peer-led workouts for men who want to enhance their health and leadership potential. Also nearby, the Macungie Institute is a community center where social, cultural and educational events are held. On Main Street, the Macungie Train Station is no longer in service, but the station’s flower park is a colorful spot most of the year to observe Norfolk Southern trains as they pass through town. The Macungie Garden Club maintains the flower park, which boasts over 10,000 blooms at its fullest.
Kalmbach Memorial Park attracts nature lovers with trails that wind through woodland filled with American chestnut trees and Swabia Creek. The 20-acre park was set aside by the late German-born industrialist Frederick Kalmbach as a place where parkgoers can learn about the natural world. Here, visitors can discover how bees benefit the park and the community, visit a restored 1850s barn where artwork from local artists is displayed, and stroll through flower gardens, sculptures and a memorial to Kalmbach himself.
Other popular activities include weekend getaways to Bear Creek Mountain Resort, a four-season destination retreat 6 miles southwest of Macungie. With temperatures ranging from 23 degrees in winter, with an average snowfall of 7.4 inches, to 86 degrees in the summer, the resort offers biking, hiking, skiing and snowboarding. Closer to home, Brookside Country Club features an 18-hole golf course, a full-service tennis program and an Olympic-sized swimming pool with food and beverage service.

A mix of historic, vintage and new homes
Homes in Macungie are almost evenly divided between single-family properties and townhouses. Most homes are ranch-style, built in the 1960s or later with prominent bay windows, attached garages and spacious backyards. Priced from $300,000 to $500,000, these homes often feature solid brick facades, family rooms and huge finished basements.
A new subdivision is also under construction in the northern part of Macungie adjacent to the Brookside Country Club. Called “The Fields at Brookside,” the new development features homes with two to four bedrooms and easy golf course access. They list from $600,000 to $900,000. “The new development around the golf course is strategic,” Snyder Teichman says. “The town is big on open spaces and makes sure green spaces are nearby when developments are planned.”
In the historic part of town, front doors of duplexes and rowhouses built in the 1800s open onto sidewalks along Main and Church streets. Many have undergone full makeovers with new roofs, windows and kitchens. While front yards may be small (or nonexistent), backyards are often long and big enough to accommodate multiple vehicles, a back porch and some green recreational space. On the south side of town, newer townhouse subdivisions like Macungie Village built in the 1980s feature three-bedroom homes, some with attached garages, fireplaces and open floor plans. The Brookfield subdivision, constructed in the 1990s near the golf course, offers many of the same amenities and large decks for entertaining. Whether historic or new, townhouses in Macungie sell for between $200,000 and $360,000.
