A small town founded long ago
It’s a long way from the pyramids, but like its namesake, the community of Egypt in Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania, is ancient by American standards. Settled in 1733, many historic homes here still remain. In addition to the storied architecture, the 2,500 residents who call Egypt home relish the slower-paced lifestyle and proximity to the city of Allentown. “Egypt is a tiny little town. It has the older architecture like a lot of communities around here,” says Jamie Achberger, a Realtor with EXP Realty, who has been selling homes in the area for 14 years. “It has a country feel, but you’re close enough to everything you need. One of the draws is that it falls in one of the desirable school districts.”
Homes from the late 1800s to present day
Those looking to move to Egypt will primarily find houses built from the late 1800s to the present day. They come in a range of styles including Colonial Revivals, ranch-style homes and farmhouses. Properties commonly rest along sidewalk-lined streets with spacious quarter-acre lots adorned with mature maple and oak trees that are common to the area. A cozy two-bedroom, 2-bath cottage could be found for $200,000 while a more spacious four-bedroom, 2-bath may run in the high-$300,000s. “Homes are still moving quickly there,” Achberger says. “If they are priced right, they’ll sell within a week or two. The inventory is low. That’s the driving factor. People still need places to live.”

Shop and eat locally on Main Street
Mom-and-pop establishments, such as Wild Cherry Supermarket and Riley’s Restaurant & Pub are interspersed between homes on Egypt’s walkable Main Street. Riley’s is a local favorite for live music and regular specials, such as 50-cent wings and $2 draft beers. The community gathering place originally served as the Egypt Hotel, which was built in 1790. King Kone, on Springmill Road, is the go-to spot for residents to grab an ice cream sundae for themselves or a “puppy sundae” for their four-legged friends.
