Bullskin Township’s long history centers around farming — its peaceful, bucolic landscapes are a remnant of its agrarian past. People have lived in this rural southeastern Pittsburgh borough since the mid-1700s. The area’s lack of development appeals to buyers interested in homes with privacy, peace and quiet. “It’s not bustling like other nearby towns,” says Michael Pohlot, Realtor at Janus Realty Advisors.
Modest ranch-styles are scattered irregularly across fields of farmland and within woodsy surroundings. These 1960s and '70s-era styles typically go for around $200,000. Buyers will also find a historical home or two here, which often have lower price tags but may need a little TLC. There is also room to build on lots ranging around $5,000. Most locals consider Bullskin Township a seller’s market, where prices are increasing, and listings find new owners within a few weeks.
Many Bullskin kids attend school within the Connellsville Area School District. Dunbar Township Elementary earns a C-plus from Niche. Connellsville Area Middle earns a C-minus, while Connellsville Area Senior High is rated B-minus. School commutes start around 15 minutes, increasing for those living farther south. The district has an average graduation rate of 86%, and many rising seniors apply to the University of Pittsburgh and Penn State Fayette nearby.
Locals can get fresh air at any of the parks along the 10-mile stretch of Pleasant Valley Road. Bridgeport Dam Park is among the township’s most popular outdoor getaways, where visitors can fish or hop on a small boat. Bullskin Park has basketball courts and grassy fields, while Shallenberger Sportsplex hosts soccer games on the weekends.
A few local stores help Bullskin residents get through the week. Woah Nellie Dairy Farm stocks a roadside outpost with milk and other locally sourced pantry items. Locals can also visit Appleseed Farms and Garden Center for homegrown produce. Connellsville hosts grocery chains like Martin’s and a wide selection of shops and restaurants. “Beaver Falls and Monaca are close by with restaurants and shopping,” Pohlot says.
Bullskin residents find ways to celebrate their community throughout the year. These long-time locals take pride in their history, hosting gatherings like the annual Heritage Days Festival, when folks dress in period garb and peruse vendors selling traditional wares. Other traditions include Thursday Farmers Markets and holiday celebrations like the annual Christmas Parade.
Government offices and Uniontown Hospital are the region's top employers, followed closely by the school districts. U.S. Route 119 crosses the western side of the township, leading north to Greensburg and south to Connellsville, connecting residents to busier areas. “You can get into the city fairly quickly,” Pohlot says. Downtown Pittsburgh is a 50-mile ride away. Locals ride into Connellsville to hop on an Amtrak train for long-distance travel.
