Generational residents take pride in their community, West Mayfield
The West Mayfield community may be small, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less mighty. “We are a quaint community that’s part of a college town, and I love the friendliness of all the neighbors,” says Licia Cogley, the borough’s mayor since 2021. Sitting just west of Beaver Falls and the walkable Geneva College campus, West Mayfield shows its community pride by hosting annual events, celebrating milestones and planning for future improvements. “People really care about this area, and a lot of residents stay for generations. We just had a parade for our centennial celebration, and we’re looking forward to doing park beautification projects,” Cogley says.

Cozy homes with quirky lawn decorations give the area character
Homes in West Mayfield are modest and often petite, ranging from ranch-style properties to colorful bungalows with cozy front porches. Residents love to set up whimsical, themed yard decorations for the holidays, and compact gardens come to life with vibrant blooms in summer. Most of the hilly streets do not have sidewalks, but with a gravel buffer providing additional space for street parking, the road remains wide enough to accommodate both pedestrians and cars. Three-bedroom homes around 1,000 square feet usually list between $100,000 and $150,000, making West Mayfield slightly more affordable than neighboring Beaver Falls. But you’ll still have access to all the city’s amenities — including the well-regarded school system.

Outdoor fun and events at West Mayfield Community Park
After school, children can burn off extra energy at Beaver Falls’ 37th Street Park, which is especially popular for its mini climbing wall and bright blue tire swing. East of the park, the Beaver River has opportunities for fishing and kayaking throughout the year. At West Mayfield Community Park, three grassy baseball fields provide space for the local baseball team, and a large lawn leaves plenty of room for community gatherings. “This is where we host a lot of our events, including an Easter egg hunt and a Trunk-or-Treat event,” Mayor Cogley says, noting that neighbors also come together for a dinner and bake sale on local election days.

Corner Tavern and other neighborhood businesses bring people together
The longstanding local tavern serves as a meeting hub for the community. “Corner Tavern has been here forever. In the 1960s, it was open 24 hours for the mill workers,” Mayor Cogley says. After recent renovations, Cogley says the tavern is about to have another grand opening, and the owners expect a great turnout. Neighbors also enjoy grabbing takeout from The Oven Pizza Co., which Cogley says is new to the area but already gaining popularity. For even more dining options, head into downtown Beaver Falls for a taste of Philadelphia’s finest at Chilly Willy Cheesesteaks. A few blocks over, the Neighborhood North Museum of Play offers interactive exhibits where children can build, climb and play while learning about STEM topics.

Getting around town and to Pittsburgh
While in downtown Beaver Falls, you can catch a local bus from Fourth Avenue to the Giant Eagle Supermarket in Chippewa Plaza or the indoor fitness center in nearby Chippewa Center. The 4-mile trip may take a bit longer than it would in a car — about 40 minutes — but the bus is still a huge perk of living close to Beaver Falls. These buses also provide transportation into downtown Pittsburgh, but this 40-mile trek is made much faster by hopping on Interstates 376 or 279. You won’t have to go nearly as far for medical care, though, as primary and emergency care services are available at Heritage Valley Beaver Hospital about 8 miles away. With its own volunteer fire department, snow removal system and employment opportunities close to home, West Mayfield is a self-sufficient community with heaps of pride.

There are jobs in the area. Not necessarily jobs that I would prefer to have. I did apply for several jobs for the summer, but did not get called in to interview for any of them. I ended up in New York for the summer. I guess it all depends on the type of job that you are looking for and what opportunities are available for you in the area.

You can never determine what the weather is going to be. The seasons are pretty much normal in the area. Of course the winters are cold and snowy while the summers can be hot and humid. It all depends on whether or not you like the area. As with anywhere you live, the weather can affect what you do outdoors.

The overall atmosphere of the area is nice. I would probably live here again if I had the chance. It is conveniently located in a middle area with lots of opportunities and choices of things to do not too far away. Yes, it is sometimes boring right in the general area with not always a lot to do, but you can always drive a little ways and find something fun and exciting to do or something to see.
