Here at Waldheim, there are 83 privately-owned cottages.  At any given time, there are usually a few for sale.  Occasionally, owners are willing to rent their cottages for a portion of the summer season. 

Cottages may be occupied from May 1st-October 31st.  A small number of cottages are approved for out-of-season use.  One must be an active member of an Evangelical Congregational church in order to qualify for winter residency.  Because the number of year-round cottages is finite, they do not go up for sale on a regular basis. 

The land a cottage occupies is leased on a yearly basis from the Waldheim Park Association, a non-profit corporation.  To own a cottage, and have the right to participate in the election of board members, one must become a stockholder, by purchasing stock.  Individual property and school taxes are assessed by the township. 

All owners must carry insurance on their cottage.  Prospective residents first fill out an application; a direct link can be found here on the web site. 

Once the application is complete, it should be mailed to
Bob Coulsey
7461 Daisy Circle
Macungie, Pa 18062


Bob will review the application and arrange an in-person interview with the applicant(s) by the Screening Committee.  The Committee then makes their recommendations at a Board of Directors meeting for an approval vote.  Ideal candidates for residency can give a Christian testimony, are active in their home church, desire to live and participate in an Evangelical Christian community, and have the financial means to maintain a summer cottage, many of which are approaching 100 years of age.
