Welcome to Macungie
Welcome to Macungie, a small borough with a big, property-diverse personality where your dream home could range from a stunning Victorian with a wraparound porch to a sleek new condo with all the smart-home bells and whistles.

Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, a growing family, or a retiree looking to downsize, Macungie’s always got some fantastic options for consideration.
Macungie’s Real Estate Landscape
Imagine stepping into a storybook where each page reveals a different architectural era. That’s Macungie! It’s a small PA borough filled with some historical gems, cozy bungalows, traditional mid-century ranches, and brand-new smart condos.
Macungie has made a name for itself as a go-to for modern home design and amenities. If you're all about that new-home smell and having Alexa at your beck and call, you may want to start your search here. Open floor plans, pools, and a quick commute to all the Lehigh Valley action.
Nature Lovers? Got you covered. Just on the edge of town, there are some seriously beautiful stone mills dotting the landscape interspersed with beautiful, comfortable homes that back up to Little Lehigh Creek. There’s a host of mid-century ranches and split-levels with sizable backyards. And for those who want to go full-on rural without being in the boonies, Upper and Lower Macungie Townships are calling, big lots, big skies, and just a short drive from your favorite latte spot in town.
The Lifestyle
Living in Macungie is all about that sweet suburban PA life friendly neighbors, local events, and a location that’s just spot-on with convenience. It’s an easy drive to Allentown, Berks County, Lancaster and Philly. But with all the local farms, parks, and backyard BBQs, you might not want to leave.
Some Favorite Places Worth Checking Out
Every August, 2,500 classic cars gather in one place for
Das Awkscht Fescht, one of the largest antique and classic car shows on the East Coast. It's like the whole town travels back in time for a weekend of chrome, custom paints, and pure Americana.
For my antiquing and flea market-loving friends, venture out a bit to Hereford Township and Kutztown’s famous
Renningers Market for some serious vintage finds. Sunday morning ‘junkin’ is essentially a rite of passage.
While in nearby Kutztown, be sure to head over to the
Rodale Institute. They’ve been trendsetters and an educational mecca for organic farming for a long, long time. They offer tons of educational events as well as a hard-to-beat produce stand.
Just like many other areas of the Lehigh Valley, golfing is high on the list for many residents with
Brookside Country Club being social the hub in Macungie.
Did anyone say ‘STAYCATION’. You’re in luck. Head over to
Bear Creek Mountain Resort for a gorgeous hike, some spa indulgences, and a great dinner with a view.
