In the middle of urban and rural

Named for an early 1900s cement quarry and mill, Cementon is a concrete choice for homebuyers seeking a slow-paced suburban lifestyle with proximity to Allentown. Situated on the Lehigh River, 1,500 residents call this Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania community home. “People move there because it’s a suburb of Allentown with good neighborhoods,” says Rami Mamari, a Realtor with Mountain Top Real Estate, who is a longtime area resident. “It’s a great location. You’re in the middle of urban and rural. If you go 15 minutes south, you’re in Allentown. If you go 15 minutes north, you have skiing at Blue Mountain Resort.”

Ranch-styles and Colonial revivals on manicured lots

Those looking to move to Cementon will primarily find houses built from the late 1800s to the present day. They come in a range of styles including Ranch-style homes, Colonial Revivals and Cape Cods with rooftop dormer windows. Properties typically rest along sidewalk-lined streets with manicured lots adorned with established shrubbery and ornamental trees. A cozy three-bedroom, two-bath Cottage could cost around $250,000, while a more spacious four-bedroom, four-bathroom may sell in the low-$400,000s. “It’s still a strong market here,” Mamari says. “Most things sell within three to 15 days. A lot of that is because of low inventory.”

Hanging out in the pool or pickleball court

For outdoor fun, residents head to Cementon Park on Dewey Street. At the 18-acre park, locals can shoot some hoops, play a game of pickleball or cool off in the pool during the summer months. Riverwalk Park, on Front Street, offers a traditional playground for kids to romp around and a section of the 140-mile D&L Trail runs through it, making it a popular spot for walkers and bikers alike. Other pastimes include crossing the Woodward Bridge into Northampton to catch a music concert or the latest flick at the Roxy Theatre, a 1920s movie palace on Main Street.

King-sized slices and house-made cones

From CVS to Redner’s Markets, Cementon residents have easy access to nationally known and regional chains in Northampton, which is just 1 mile east via Route 329. For dining out, Angel’s Pizza, on MacArthur Road, is a local favorite for its king-sized slices of New York-style pie.
