Named for an early 1900s cement quarry and mill, Cementon is a concrete choice for homebuyers seeking a slow-paced suburban lifestyle with proximity to Allentown. Situated on the Lehigh River, 1,500 residents call this Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania community home. “People move there because it’s a suburb of Allentown with good neighborhoods,” says Rami Mamari, a Realtor with Mountain Top Real Estate, who is a longtime area resident. “It’s a great location. You’re in the middle of urban and rural. If you go 15 minutes south, you’re in Allentown. If you go 15 minutes north, you have skiing at Blue Mountain Resort.”
Ranch-styles and Colonial revivals on manicured lots
Those looking to move to Cementon will primarily find houses built from the late 1800s to the present day. They come in a range of styles including Ranch-style homes, Colonial Revivals and Cape Cods with rooftop dormer windows. Properties typically rest along sidewalk-lined streets with manicured lots adorned with established shrubbery and ornamental trees. A cozy three-bedroom, two-bath Cottage could cost around $250,000, while a more spacious four-bedroom, four-bathroom may sell in the low-$400,000s. “It’s still a strong market here,” Mamari says. “Most things sell within three to 15 days. A lot of that is because of low inventory.”
