Suburban comforts with city convenience

Homebuyers seeking suburban comforts and proximity to Allentown may find Stiles to be just their style. The 1,000 residents who call this Whitehall Township community home, enjoy the area’s walking and biking trails and being minutes from familiar retailers and festivities in downtown Allentown. “It’s a very, very small community. It’s mostly all single-family homes. People like it because it’s near Lehigh Valley Mall,” says Cliff Lewis, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Hearthside, who has been selling homes in the area for 17 years. “It’s a great location. You’re very close to all kinds of shopping and dining. You have easy access to downtown Allentown, which is really undergoing a revitalization. There are great restaurants and a new sports arena for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms ice hockey team.”

Homes ranging in styles and eras

Those looking to move here will primarily find homes built from the late 1800s to the modern day. They come in a range of styles including Colonial Revivals, ranch houses and contemporary homes with two-car garages. Properties typically rest along sidewalk-lined streets with spacious quarter-acre lots adorned by established shrubbery and ornamental trees. A 1,500-square-foot, three-bedroom home could be found in the low-$300,000s, while a four-bedroom that’s twice as big may run in the low-$400,000s. “It’s still a strong market here. If homes are priced right and in good condition, they sell within days,” Lewis says. “The average days-on-market right now is 18. Low inventory is the primary driver.”

For eating out, Coplay Eatery and Thai Diner are interspersed between single-family homes on Chestnut Street.
