Orefield sits nearly 10 miles west of Allentown and combines a small, farm-town feel with nearby amenities of the city and bigger suburban areas. It’s almost like you’ve stepped back in time in Orefield. Humble Colonial-style farmhouses are scattered around the landscape, and there’s plenty of pastoral green space to make you feel at peace. There aren’t many restaurants and shop in Orefield, but the overall atmosphere is more than enough to keep you entertained and engaged with the landscape. Locals gather at Covered Bridge Park, a moderately sized park with a historic bridge over a tranquil creek. Allentown is less than a 20-minute drive away, so if you crave the amenities and conveniences of the city they are close at hand.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
