With so much to offer its residents—a fascinating history, welcoming community, and fun attractions all within close proximity to two major U.S. cities—it is no wonder that so many people chose Allentown when looking for homes in the Lehigh Valley region. For those who want to relocate to Allentown, the real estate market is brimming with a wide selection of housing opportunities. Properties for sale in Allentown include condominiums and townhomes, detached and semi-detached homes, twin homes (duplexes), single family homes, and luxury estates. Allentown homes vary in style from historic Colonials and Victorians to ranch homes and modern mansions, and with a low median home price just under $200,000, Allentown real estate is affordable to first time homebuyers and experienced investors alike. Allentown’s housing market is dominated by Industrial Revolution-era row houses, some of which have been wonderfully renovated or are in need of renovation and would make great projects for the do-it-yourself investor. In sharp contrast, Allentown also offers many newer neighborhoods, such as the Estates at Trexler Park, that feature elegant residences showcasing the latest in home design. For the most exclusive homebuyer, there are many opportunities for custom homebuilding in Allentown as well. No matter what you are looking for—a cozy row house or a contemporary single family home—the Allentown real estate market has what you need to start your life in this charming Lehigh city. Come and see for yourself why so many people love to call Allentown, PA their home.
