elcome to RE/MAX real estate and Pennsylvania’s beautiful Lehigh Valley! Your decision to relocate to this area at this time brings you to a place of prosperity, culture,

and strong values.

The Lehigh Valley is richly embedded in our nation’s history. Once a principal gateway to the west, our canals moved coal and people to fill an ever-growing frontier. Later, Bethlehem became the second-largest producer of steel in the world, helping build an industrialized nation. Silk, other fabrics, and clothing were manufactured here. Mack Trucks, long a symbol of the strength of a nation, are still made here. Binney and Smith’s Crayola crayons color the world.

Lehigh Valley public and private schools are among the best in the nation; with more than two-thirds of their graduates continuing their education. Community colleges offer varied programs, specialty centers offer vocational and technical career training, and our colleges and universities are nationally ranked.

The Lehigh Valley’s residents enjoy city, suburban, and country living. A diversity of home styles, including townhouses, singles, and duplexes offer the home buyer a full range of choices.

The RE/MAX real estate business ethic is supremely suited to this dynamic community. Founded in 1984, RE/MAX has become the #1 real estate office in the Lehigh Valley.

Our associates average three times as many transactions per year as other real estate salespeople. Our broad range of financing sources means more potential buyers for each home, and a higher mortgage approval rate, resulting in affordable mortgages for more people.

ennsylvania, the second state admitted to the Union, is rich in natural splendor, historical significance, cultural diversity, and industrial strength.

One of the mid-Atlantic States, Pennsylvania is bordered by the states of New Jersey, New York, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland. With a land area of 44,820 square miles, Pennsylvania ranks 33rd in area among the 50 states. The state has 67 counties.

Lehigh County in eastern Pennsylvania is dominated by the skyline of the PPL building in Allentown, the county’s largest city. Allentown’s location also affords easy access to the major metropolitan areas of the northeast.

Also centrally located in Lehigh County is the office of RE/MAX real estate, which services the Lehigh Valley area. Our office is located at 3021 College Heights Boulevard, Allentown, with easy access using I-78 or Route 22. If you are traveling by air, Philadelphia International Airport is only an hour’s drive to and from the Lehigh Valley, and the Lehigh Valley International Airport is only minutes away from any part of the Valley.

Northampton County is dominated by the county’s largest city, Bethlehem. Easton, the county seat, is the county’s second largest city. The county is one of the most industrially-oriented regions in the nation, producing anthracite coal, cement, and other industrial

products. Bethlehem Steel, once one of the world's largest manufacturers of steel, was located there prior to its 2003 closing.

The PPL Building (seen here in the distance) is the tallest building in Allentown. In the foreground is the Albertus L.

Meyers Bridge, commonly known as the Eighth Street Bridge.

Pennsylvania was at the forefront of America’s Industrial Revolution. The world’s first oil well was drilled in Titusville in 1859, marking the

birth of the petroleum industry. Andrew Carnegie established the forerunner of the U.S. Steel Corporation.

he first occupants of Pennsylvania consisted of some 15,000 members of the Delaware, Shawnee, Susquehanna, and Iroquois Native American tribes. In 1609, English explorer

Henry Hudson charted the coasts along the Delaware River, and in 1643 New Sweden governor Johan Printz established a colony north of the Wilmington, Delaware area on Tinicum Island near Chester. The settlement fell into Dutch hands in 1655 and was claimed by the English in 1664.

In 1681 King Charles II granted William Penn a huge tract of land to be called Penn’s Woods, or Pennsylvania. Penn was a troublesome young Quaker, and King Charles II owed his father a huge debt. The 37 year old Penn immediately sailed to establish his “city of brotherly love”, which is now known as Philadelphia.

Pennsylvania attracted increasing numbers of European immigrants in the 1700s. Joining the English, Welsh and Dutch Quakers were Rhineland Germans and the Scotch-Irish.

By 1774 Pennsylvania had become the military, economic and political center of the colonies. The first Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia in 1774 and the Second Continental Congress in 1775-76, where the Declaration of Independence was drafted and approved on July 4, 1776. When the Articles of Confederation were endorsed in York in 1777, the 13 Colonies effectively became one nation. On December 2, 1787, Pennsylvania became the second colony to ratify the U.S. Constitution—drafted at the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia—thus becoming the nation’s second state.

Philadelphia was the national capital from 1790 through 1800.

Pennsylvania has many historical spots, including Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was drafted and approved; Valley Forge,

where George Washington headquartered during the American Revolution; and Gettysburg, where the 3-day battle marked the beginning of the end for the Confederacy.

he Lehigh Valley’s educational infrastructure includes 17 public school districts, three vocational and technical schools, a wide variety of private elementary and secondary

schools, in addition to four state and six private colleges and universities.

These educational resources work with business and industry in a unified effort called the Lehigh Valley Business/Education Partnership. The partnership, established in 1989 and structured as a collaboration of task forces, seeks support for educational efforts from all segments of the community. This partnership has attracted national attention and commendation and has become a model for other communities.

The partnership’s most recent product is a comprehensive package of school-to-work programs, which are being implemented at all educational levels. These programs will expand students' career awareness, provide insight into local and global economies and hone the skills necessary for successful employment. The keystone of this effort is the commitment of all 17 area public school districts to a 10-step career development curriculum that begins at the primary grade levels and continues through and beyond high school.

Here in the Lehigh Valley, we're acutely aware of the advantages of a well-educated, well-trained workforce. Our educational infrastructure has strong ties to business and industry, thanks to the pioneering efforts of the Lehigh Valley Business/Education Partnership. In addition, the Lehigh Valley boasts a number of highly adaptive training facilities. These centers provide everything from basic employment skills to specialized technical instruction, as well as routinely tailor-made training programs for individual businesses and industries.

he Lehigh Valley has what you are looking for when you shop. There are over two dozen malls and shopping centers and

countless independently-placed specialty shops offering both shopping ease and convenience. Less than one hour to the south is one of the largest regional shopping malls on the East Coast—the King of Prussia Mall.

Lehigh Valley’s largest shopping center is the Lehigh Valley Mall. With over 130 stores, this mall is located at MacArthur Road and Grape Street, just north of Route 22,

in Whitehall.

The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley, the region’s first and only Lifestyle Center, is gently nestled at the base of South Mountain on Center Valley Parkway between Allentown and Bethlehem, PA,

near Route 378. This convenient location is close to where Interstate 78, Route 309 and Route 145 converge.

Less than one hour’s drive away to the west is the VF Outlet in Reading, Pennsylvania. A short 45 minute drive to the north is The Crossings Premium Outlets in Tannersville with its many outlet stores.

For food shopping, the Lehigh Valley’s major chains—Giant, Redners, Weis-Kings, and Wegmans—and a host of independent grocers offer staples, ethnic, specialty, and health-conscious foods. For a really unique experience, don’t miss the Allentown

Fairgrounds Farmers’ Market at 17th and Chew Streets where they have over 40 booths that offer the area’s fresh farm bounty.

To find a specific shopping experience, you can search online on the Lehigh Valley Convention and Visitor’s Bureau’s website, http://lehighvalleypa.org. Other shopping centers in the Lehigh Valley are as follows:

he Lehigh Valley has whatever you are looking for—action or relaxation, history or music, art or exercise. We have our own world-class amusement park, a nationally –

known music festival, theaters, museums, one of only a dozen operating velodromes in the United States, plenty of parks and green grass for picnicking, and an abundance of covered bridges!

The Lehigh Valley is near the Poconos, the seashore, Atlantic City, Dutch Country, Philadelphia, New York City, and Washington, D.C. Within a 30 mile radius, antique shops and flea markets abound. New Hope and Peddler’s Village in Lahaska offer many antique shops as well as the Bucks County Playhouse

The Pocono Mountains offer nationally renowned skiing, camping, hiking, dining of all types, mountain biking, rafting and canoeing, golf, shopping, hunting, and more! Thousands of acres of forest provide a nearby “get away from it all” vacation spot. You can explore Hickory Run State Park, boat on Lake Wallenpaupak, enjoy the scenery of Delaware Water Gap, and ski at the Blue Mountain and Bear Creek Mountain ski areas. Many hotels in the Poconos specialize in honeymoons.

Within a three-hour radius, Lehigh Valley residents can find some of the best beaches and seashore vacationing available anywhere in the continental United States. New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland all offer outstanding ocean side vacation spots; many of which are nationally famous. Extending from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, to Ocean City, Maryland, is a strip of seashore towns catering to young and old. Sand, surf and sightseeing abound along the Mid-Atlantic Coast, and Lehigh Valley residents have easy access to all three.

Pennsylvania Dutch Country presents a bit of unique Americana centering in Lancaster. Experience the Plain Folks’ way of life at The Amish Farm, view a failed communal living experiment at Ephrata Cloister, visit Dutch Wonderland, the Strasburg Railroad, and Roadside America. See how some of the world’s best candy is made in Hershey—and enjoy the amusement park while you are there! Step into a different time as the horse and buggies trot up the roads. Shop at the many gift and souvenir stores, check out the outlets, and don’t miss the Renaissance Faire. There is something for every member of your family in the Dutch Country!
