What is the average home price in Allentown, PA?

Allentown is the most affordable major market in the Lehigh Valley, and the published figures reflect it. The Zillow Home Value Index put Allentown's average home value at about $312,100 as of April 2026, up 3.7% year over year, while Redfin's most recent city-level data showed a median sale price around $255,000 with average sale prices near $265,000. Other sources put the median sold price between roughly $275,000 and $320,000 depending on the reporting period, which is why Tim always pairs a headline number with street-level sales.

What those figures mean in practice: starter rowhomes and townhomes can be found from the low $200,000s, many single-family homes in the West End and the outer neighborhoods run through the $300,000s, and new or fully renovated properties sit higher. Allentown spans the full range, from historic rowhomes near downtown to larger mid-century homes on tree-lined streets.

For comparison, the Lehigh Valley-wide median was $375,000 in the September 2026 GLVR Market Update. Allentown's lower entry points are part of what makes it the region's most active first-time buyer and investor market.
