Egypt
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.”

Trails that wind through the woods
For outdoor fun, residents head to Egypt Memorial Park on Main Street. At the 17-acre park, locals can shoot some hoops, watch their kids frolic on the playground or root for the Orioles, a local amateur league baseball team. Whitehall Parkway, on MacArthur Road, offers hiking and biking trails that wind through woods and lead visitors to an abandoned quarry and the ruins of a late 1800s cement plant.

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.

A state-award-winning high school marching band
Public school students may attend Zephyr Elementary, Whitehall-Coplay Middle and Whitehall High. The elementary and high schools both earn B Niche grades, while the middle school scores a B-minus. Home of the Zephyrs, the high school boasts a state-award-winning marching band.
Getting around town and beyond
Just 10 miles from Allentown, via Pennsylvania Route 145 South, and the Lehigh Valley International Airport, by way of Pennsylvania Route 329 East, Egypt offers easy access to big-city attractions and the world beyond.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
