Blairsville blends mountain views with modern conveniences
Blairsville is characterized by its nature trails, historic buildings and small-town vibe. “It has a combination of that older feeling and modern amenities, including tons of small businesses,” says Anna Clark, a Blairsville resident and Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The Preferred Realty. “It’s a great little place if you don’t want that big city feel.” While the town is centrally located near U.S. Routes 22 and 119, it also has country views, farmland and access to the outdoors. “It’s surrounded by the Allegheny Mountains and along the Conemaugh River,” says Lee Ann Henry, a Realtor with Realty One Group Landmark. “There are a lot of hiking, biking, and fishing opportunities nearby.”

Historic homes and narrow streets reflect Blairsville’s past
Henry says architecture here tends to be a mix of older brick homes, canal-era buildings and railroad-era commercial or mixed residential/commercial structures. “The town was laid out in the 1810s and 1820s as a turnpike/canal town, later a railroad hub, so there are homes and lots tracing back to older town planning patterns,” Henry adds. “That gives irregular lot shapes, older street grids and homes that often front narrow streets.” Lot sizes are often less than a quarter of an acre. The median sale price is about $170,000, less than half of the national median. Homes stay on the market for about 85 days, higher than the national average of 52 days.
A simple brick home fits Blairsville, PA’s practical, modest style.
