Center Township is a community of about 12,000 people less than 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. This growing area has active new construction alongside existing amenities like shopping centers, parks and two colleges. Lifelong resident and Realtor Nanci Rossi with the Nancy Rossi Team describes the community as tight-knit but welcoming to newcomers. “Center Township is extremely sports-oriented, so most people who move from other areas get involved in sports,” she says. “People get to be really good friends with each other because their children are very active. You make lasting relationships. I did. My kids played sports, and that’s where I made many friends, plus I have friends from when I was in school and played sports.” School sports games as well as indoor and outdoor sports complexes, a driving range and a private pool help keep this active community busy and connected.
