Homes for Rent in Connellsville Township, Connellsville

Connellsville Township is a quiet community in the Laurel Highlands, a mountainous region of Southwestern Pennsylvania with an emphasis on natural beauty and outdoor recreation. “One of the big things that Connellsville is known for is the GAP trail that runs through town and leads to Ohiopyle State Park,” says Camille Miele, a Realtor with Realty One Group Gold Standard with more than six years of experience in the industry. Locally known as the GAP, the Greater Allegheny Passage is a 150-mile rail trail that residents can access via a trailhead in Yough River Park. While hikers and cyclists hit the trail, kayakers and fishermen head to the shores of the Youghiogheny River. The river flows along the town’s southern edge and through nearby Ohiopyle State Park, a gateway to the Laurel Highlands that attracts more than a million visitors each year. Connellsville Township embraces its natural surroundings as mature trees and State Game Lands occupy most of its land, and its population hovers at just over 2,000. Residential developments are clustered in the northeastern corner of Connellsville Township. Most homes were built around the mid-1900s and sit on lush half-acre lots. Dutch
