Set among rolling hills with easy access to Allentown, Bethlehem, Trexlertown and beyond, The Reserve is a peaceful home base that keeps you close to everything.

Below are some of the biggest “place and activity” benefits that come with calling The Reserve home.

1. Everyday Outdoor Living, Steps from Home

You don’t have to get in the car to enjoy the outdoors. The Reserve at Mountain Village is designed with walkable, community-focused features including:

It’s the kind of neighborhood where you can walk the dog, chat with neighbors, or let kids burn off some energy without ever leaving the community.

2. Macungie Memorial Park: Your “Big Backyard”

Just a short drive from The Reserve is Macungie Memorial Park, a 42-acre community hub with a swimming pool, basketball and tennis courts, ball fields, picnic pavilions, and walking areas.

Throughout the year, the park hosts:

3. Four-Season Adventure at Bear Creek Mountain Resort

• On-site dining, spa services, and seasonal events

The resort also highlights nearby family favorites like Crystal Cave, the Crayola Experience, and the Da Vinci Science Center as part of its local attractions—most within about 30 minutes.

From The Reserve, spontaneous ski days or summer hikes on the mountain are easy, not all-day productions.
