Rural living close to retail hubs
When visitors drive through the historic Kreidersville Covered Bridge into Allen Township, they are taken out of the hustle of nearby Allentown and into an area filled with farmhouses and scenic trails. Only 8 miles away from the nearest city, Allen Township offers a rural pace of living while still being an easy drive to the neighboring airport and shopping hubs. “This area offers the flexibility to be out of the busyness of the town but is still convenient for everything from shopping to skiing. It’s a good little pocket to be in,” says Rob McCann, the owner of Assist 2 Sell Buyers & Sellers in the neighboring town of Northhampton.
Classic farm homes or brand-new custom construction
Homes in Allen Township range from Colonial Revival farmhouses to ranch-style properties and townhomes on populated streets. Regardless of style, residences typically have large yards that have room for gardens, sheds and even barns. “You can get just about anything you want from a twin home with a modest yard to a single home with more acreage,” McCann says. Streets are well-organized and tend to be walkable, even though not all neighborhoods have sidewalks. McCann says the local market has been slow to grow after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, but new construction is giving buyers more options. Homes typically range between $300,000 and $400,000, while some custom-built properties can reach up to $700,000.
