Beaver offers riverside beauty and a vibrant town center
With a riverside location befitting its name, Beaver is a bustling community not far north of Pittsburgh. The seat of Beaver County, this area is full of a great variety of homes on wide, tree-shaded streets; multiple parks to enjoy; popular local businesses and quality schools. “The heart of Beaver is fantastic. The town is fantastic,” says Shanna Funwela of the Shanna Funwela Team with Coldwell Banker Realty, who has been selling for almost a decade. “It’s very small and they kind of do everything. They still have parades and fireworks, and there’s a good school district.”
Beaver is a small community located 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.

Riverfront parks and holiday events bring neighbors together
There are parks all over Beaver, and the area’s walkable nature makes it easy to get to them. “Beaver is always hosting something throughout the year, utilizing those parks,” Logan says. Quay Square, Irvine Park and McIntosh Park are adjacent grassy expanses shaded by towering trees — spaces ideal for a picnic. Quay Square and Irvine Park host carriage rides during the Beaver Area Chamber of Commerce’s Holiday Light-up Festival. Bouquet Park is a neighborhood spot where you can take the kids to the playground. You can enjoy the Ohio River waterfront at Beaver Greens Park. Where the Ohio River and Beaver River converge nearby is the site of the area’s annual Beaver County BOOM Fourth of July fireworks celebration.

Busy storefronts and local favorites line the walkable main drag
Beaver’s walkability comes in handy for perusing the array of restaurants and other businesses in the area, many of them along 3rd Street, the main drag. “Every storefront is full, they’re always busy,” Logan says. Waffles Incaffeinated is well-liked, specializing in gourmet waffles and sandwiches, but also craft beer and cocktails. Yama Japanese Restaurant is renowned for its sushi, and Soup-Herb Sproutz for its wraps and salads. Residents can grab quick groceries at 3rd Street’s Beaver Supermarket, which is popular in part for its meat section. Other stores on this stretch include Castle Toys and Games and Wildwood Boutique, a women’s clothing store. The area’s Memorial Day Parade takes place along 3rd Street as well.
