Boasting hues of green that range from dark wooded forest preserves to bright green golf courses and farmland, Upper Saucon Township is a popular bedroom community in the heart of the Lehigh Valley. Some residents commute to nearby cities like Allentown and Bethlehem, and others as far away as Philadelphia and New York City. “Historically, I think the draw here has been much more affordable home prices than Philadelphia and New York City,” says Rebecca L. Francis, an associate broker with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Fox & Roach Realtors. “The landscape here is beautiful, with lots of trees. You have Philadelphia and New York about an hour or so drive away and three bigger areas, like Bethlehem, surrounding the township.” Apart from the great outdoors, residents here enjoy a range of upscale shopping and dining, highly rated schools and a quiet community that garners a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, well below the national average of 4.

Wide open golf courses and wooden trails
The Upper Saucon Township Community Park offers soccer and baseball fields for local sports leagues and trails that connect to the Saucon Rail Trail. This paved path spans nearly 8 miles through the township’s picturesque landscape along old railroad lines. The trail leads to the Southern Lehigh Living Memorial Park, which features more sports fields, a playground with a large, shaded sandbox and a community pool. After a fun-filled afternoon, locals can cool off with ice cream at The Inside Scoop. More trails await at South Mountain Big Rock Park. Golf lovers can choose between the 18-hole Wedgewood Golf Course and the highly regarded Saucon Valley Country Club. “For a certain buyer, the country club is a huge draw. I have heard of relocating because of the club or purchasing out-of-the-area membership to play golf on the weekends,” Francis says. Locals are also close to nearby gyms like CrossFit Threehold.
