Welcome to Upper Saucon
Tucked away in on the southeastern edge of the Lehigh Valley, Upper Saucon offers the ideal bedroom community – chill, charming, and convenient – just minutes from the action in Allentown and Bethlehem and a breezy commute to the Philly ‘burbs. It’s near to endless amenities like major employers, top healthcare, abundant shopping/dining, and all the artsy/cultural stuff. Plus, easy access to Philly when craving big city energy.
Upper Saucon’s Real Estate Landscape
This is the land of winding roads and well-kept homes running the gamut from charming farmhouses to modern townhomes and condos to full-blown estate-sized properties. It's prime positioned near some major corporations headquartered in the area, too. Center Valley really shines with upscale residential developments and executive homes on meticulously landscaped properties. Little pocket towns like Lanark and Limeport have their fair share of classic ranch, split-level, and rambler-style homes on tree-lined streets.
While Locust Valley and Spring Valley have an even more elevated beautiful, bucolic vibe going on. And if a nice-sized piece of land is what you're after, Summit Lawn still offers up the occasional multi-acre parcel opportunity to make that dream a reality. From low-maintenance condos and contemporary townhomes to historic renovated gems to brand-new construction – Upper Saucon really packs in the real estate variety.
The Lifestyle
Living in Upper Saucon is pretty laidback. Residents here get to take full advantage of the surrounding nature with over 500 acres of parks and trails. Plus, there is, of course, the golfing,
Saucon Valley Country Club. But it’s not all rural seclusion here. Upper Saucon keeps its residents well-connected to bigger city amenities offered up in the major hubs of the Lehigh Valley. Think of some booming job opportunities, endless arts/entertainment, shopping, you name it, it's all just a short drive away. And Philly and Bucks County right nearby make it easy to venture out.
Some Favorite Places Worth Checking Out
The Lehigh Valley has long had a strong cycling community and The
Valley Preferred Cycling Center (aka the Velodrome) is at the heart of it all. It’s been an iconic part of the community for decades and is worth a visit. For the shoppers, foodies, and movie lovers, there’s the popular
Promenade Shops with
Melt being a good spot for dinner. And while there, don’t forget to swing by
The Fresh Market and pick up some super delish Caramel Macchiato coffee beans. Makes Sunday mornings at home chilling in front of the fire all the more cozy!
