The Ironton Rail Trail is an acquired greenway that spans more than nine miles, looping in Whitehall and winding through the borough of Coplay and North Whitehall Township. The wide, flat trail provides easy access and outdoor recreational opportunities for people of all ages and physical abilities. The paved trail is used for biking, rollerblading, walking, and jogging and is also used for community events such as historical hikes, charity events, and races throughout the year. Having access to the trail directly behind the property is a rare and highly desirable feature. Located in the Whitehall-Coplay School District, which serves approximately 4,300 students across a centralized 143-acre campus, the district includes Whitehall High School, Whitehall-Coplay Middle School, Zephyr Elementary, Steckel Elementary, and Gockley Elementary, along with the Whitehall-Coplay Cyber Academy. The district offers comprehensive academic and athletic programs and serves Whitehall Township and the borough of Coplay in the Lehigh Valley region. Located just minutes from shopping, restaurants, parks, the Lehigh Valley Mall, MacArthur Road, Route 22, and other major routes, this home offers a great combination of location, outdoor living, school district, and comfortable interior space. Properties with this type of backyard setting and direct trail access rarely become available in this neighborhood. FEMA flood map documentation and completed Whitehall Township inspection (passed) are available. The home is ideally situated outside the primary floodplain, offering added confidence, while still enjoying a location near open space and surrounding natural areas. Buyers are encouraged to verify flood zone status and insurance requirements, if any.
