Suburbia and manufacturing coexist in Upper Macungie Township
Bearing its namesake, "Bear Swamp," thanks to the indigenous Lenni Lenape of the Algonquin Nation who called it "Maccongy," is Macungie Township of Lehigh County. "We are one of the fastest-growing municipalities. There is a ton of development going on, and you're centralized to Philly, New York, Allentown and in the hub of manufacturing and farming industries," says John Cummings, Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate - Cassidon Realty for five years. Approximately 9 miles from the Trexlar Nature Preserve with the Lehigh Valley Zoo and 10 miles from Allentown, with attractions like the Allentown Art Museum and America on Wheels Museum showcasing the region's automobile history, the township offers quiet country living, well-regarded schools, the opportunity to work and urban accessibility.
