Harmar, PA Mobile Home for Sale

Harmar Township in Fox Chapel, sometimes referred to as Harmarville, is a post-industrial neighborhood along the Allegheny River. The area has transitioned from its coal mining past, with the demolition of the Cheswick Generating Station in 2023 marking a new chapter. Harmar, along with nearby Harwick and Cheswick, fosters a strong sense of community pride. The neighborhood features a mix of single-family homes from the 1920s to 1950s, including Minimal Traditional cottages, Cape Cods, and ranch-style homes. More upscale options are found in HOA-maintained communities like Forest Highland and Forest Manor. While the flat blocks near the river are pedestrian-friendly, walkability decreases in the hilly areas. Commuters benefit from Route 28, providing a 15-mile drive to downtown Pittsburgh, and PRT bus services along Freeport Road. Harmar's commercial strip along Freeport Road includes hotels, fast food outlets, and larger retailers like Target and Giant Eagle Express. Local dining options feature Wicked Witches Bar & Grille and Fat Cat’s Subs. The area has several small parks, such as Harwick Park and Acme Park, and recreational spots like Rachel Carson Riverfront Park and the Alpha Ice Complex. Harmar experiences occasional flooding in low-lying industrial sections near the river.
