Small-town charm, East Penn schools, and one of the Lehigh Valley's most welcoming communities, just 9 miles from Allentown.
Welcome to Macungie
Macungie is Lehigh County's second-oldest borough, incorporated in 1857 and rooted in Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. Today it blends that history with the everyday comforts families look for: walkable streets, a true downtown along Main Street, and a calendar of community events that bring neighbors together all year long.
Housing here ranges from historic borough homes with character to newer single-family neighborhoods and townhomes in the surrounding Macungie area. It is a favorite for buyers who want small-town living with quick access to Allentown, Emmaus, and the wider Lehigh Valley. As one of the communities we serve every day, Macungie is a market the Chris Troxell Team knows street by street.
The Macungie Lifestyle
The borough is served by the East Penn School District, with Macungie Elementary right in town, Eyer and Lower Macungie middle schools nearby, and Emmaus High School for grades 9 through 12. It is one of the most sought-after districts in the Lehigh Valley.
Life centers on the 42-acre Macungie Memorial Park, home to ballfields, tennis courts, a playground, an outdoor pool, and Das Awkscht Fescht, one of the country's largest antique and classic car shows each August. A Thursday evening farmers market runs from mid-May through October, and Kalmbach Memorial Park adds quiet trails and gardens.
Route 100 runs straight through town as Main Street, putting Macungie about 9 miles from Allentown and minutes from the Route 222 corridor and Interstate 78. You get small-town quiet without giving up access to the Lehigh Valley's employment centers, shopping, and dining.
