Butler
With a walkable main street of businesses, Butler may butter your biscuit. The bustling town not only offers diverse eateries but also stuns with grand architecture and cultural amenities from an art museum to live performances.
As a larger suburb, Butler feels dense with walkable blocks of shops and restaurants on Main Street which become blocks of houses. The homes oftentimes have driveways and detached garages. Shrubs and hedges oftentimes decorate yards, which tend to be small. “Butler was a rich town, so the homes up there are three stories and beautiful Victorian homes. There are lots of Victorian homes,” says Connie Rusek, Realtor at Coldwell Banker Realty. Decked out with wraparound porches and ornamental woodwork, the Victorians may range between $104,000 to $175,000. Federal homes with porticos and symmetrical windows may cost $247,000 to $381,000, while similar Georgian houses with extra details like ionic columns and visible chimneys may go for $229,000 to $308,000. Italianate homes with corbels and ornamentation over the windows and doors may be valued from $155,000 to $228,000.
Students in Butler can attend the Butler Area School District. According to Niche, the school system earns a B+ rating in academics and a B for college prep. The district has a one-to-one device initiative for access to technology for all students. Schools include Broad Street Elementary School, Butler Intermediate High School and Butler Senior High School.
Choose between a few of Butler’s large green spaces to spend quality time outside. At Butler Memorial Park, children can burn their energy on the playground and swing set area, while athletes can play pick-up games on the basketball and tennis courts. The Butler-Freeport Community Trail is a gravel path for biking, walking and running through the woods. For a rest, stop by one of the benches along the trail. Rotary Park has a playground, picnic pavilion, basketball court and a walking path.
The community offers an assortment of eateries for different tastes. Butler Brew Works serves brisket grilled cheeses and bison burgers paired with local beers and mead in an industrial interior ideal for a lunch with friends. At Chop Shop, order cheeseburger soup or poutine in a BYOB American restaurant featuring exposed brick walls for a contemporary feel. For a family-owned eatery, head to Natili North, which offers Italian dishes like chicken parmesan and lasagna in a homestyle atmosphere perfect for dinners with family. As for a variety of retail, you can stop by a Rite Aid for a pharmacy, a Dollar General for household items and a Save a Lot for groceries.
In Butler, artsy folks may enjoy cultural amenities from visual art to live performances. The Maridon Museum displays East Asian artworks like porcelain pieces and jade sculptures. Meanwhile, the Butler Little Theatre has live music including bluegrass bands, plus a variety of Broadway plays to entertain the audience in the theatre’s 155 seats.
About 33 miles from downtown Pittsburgh, Butler residents can easily commute to the big city by taking a ride on a Butler Transit Authority bus for convenient public transportation. You can also go on fun weekend trips to watch concerts in Heinz Hall or go out to eat in Market Square. In Butler, enjoy the gorgeous architecture, cultural hallmarks and a selection of eclectic restaurants.
