Orefield offers a peaceful, countryside feel with quick access to urban conveniences, set just minutes from Allentown and Bethlehem in Lehigh County. Rolling fields, historic farmsteads, and tree-lined roads frame everyday life, while Route 309 and nearby I-78 and Route 22 make commuting across the Lehigh Valley straightforward.
Families are drawn to the strong academics and extracurriculars of the Parkland School District, with Orefield Middle School anchoring the community and Parkland High School close by. Career-minded learners benefit from hands-on programs at the nearby Lehigh Career & Technical Institute, a regional hub for trades and emerging technologies.
Weekends here often start outdoors. Residents hike, bike, and fish around the sweeping hills of the Trexler Nature Preserve, then stop by the family-friendly Lehigh Valley Zoo inside the preserve. Golfers appreciate tee times at Iron Lakes Country Club, while wine lovers enjoy tastings at Clover Hill Vineyards & Winery, a short scenic drive away. Closer to home, township parks along Jordan Creek host youth sports, seasonal festivals, and leisurely evening walks under iconic covered bridges.
Housing spans classic stone farmhouses, mid-century residences on generous lots, and newer builds tucked along quiet lanes—ideal for those seeking space without sacrificing connectivity.
