The Fields at Indian Creek

The Fields at Indian Creek is an award-winning 55+ active adult community in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, tucked into 79 tree-filled acres in the heart of the Lehigh Valley. Developed by Kay Builders — a family-owned, three-generation Lehigh Valley homebuilder with a 60+ year track record — the gated community will ultimately contain 218 energy-efficient single-family homes, with the final phase of a six-phase build still selling as of 2026. The community was designed with aging-in-place as a core principle. All 24 customizable floor plans feature a first-floor owner's suite (a rarity in this part of Pennsylvania), wider hallways and doors, minimal and rampable exterior steps, lever-style door handles, comfort-height vanities, and climate-controlled crawl spaces instead of slab foundations. Homes range from roughly 1,493 to 3,068 square feet with masonry facades, two-car garages, gourmet kitchens, natural-gas HVAC, and options like double master suites, finished lofts, and sunrooms. The Kay Builders CUSTOM-i-ZABLE program lets buyers genuinely tailor a plan rather than pick from fixed options. Social life revolves around a 7,800-square-foot state-of-the-art clubhouse with a fully equipped fitness center, indoor lounge areas anchored by a fireplace, activity rooms, a library/business center with internet, and an indoor/outdoor bar. Outside, residents enjoy a resort-style pool, pickleball and bocce courts, a pet park, outdoor fire pits, water features, and hardscaped lounge areas. A full-time activities director programs the social calendar and supports resident-run clubs and interest groups. The 79-acre site preserves 39 acres of open space and woodland, with Leibert Creek running through the property — residents fly-fish the creek, walk perimeter trails, and enjoy scenic vistas of South Mountain. A woodland trail just across the road leads to Camp Olympic Park for more ambitious hiking. Located primarily in Upper Milford Township, the community sits within walking distance of downtown Emmaus — a borough consistently named among the best small towns in the U.S., with a walkable triangle of shops, restaurants, breweries, a farmers' market, and the historic Emmaus Theatre. Commuting and day-tripping are easy via Routes 22, 78, 309, 222, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, putting Allentown, Bethlehem, and the broader Lehigh Valley all within a short drive. Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest and St. Luke's Allentown Campus are both minutes away. The community was voted Best 55+ Community in the Lehigh Valley by The Morning Call Reader's Choice.
