The East Deer Township is close to many amenities
The East Deer Township is a small community on the western banks of the Allegheny River. Sandwiched between the watershed and the expressway, this is an active area, a departure from many of its quieter rural neighbors. "Homes here are more spread out with spacious yards, but very close to amenities," says Jordan Schramm, Realtor at RE/MAX Select Realty and frequent local seller.
Craftsman and American Foursquares from the early 1900s
East Deer's residential roads carve through the region's rugged mountainous terrain, blanketed by thick rows of oaks and maples. Narrow sidewalks trace the neighborhood's main roads, where you'll likely catch your neighbors out for a walk. These aren't your turnkey, cookie-cutter suburban developments. Classic Craftsman styles and American foursquare mix with simple farmhouse designs on these timeworn streets. East Deer listings are consistently advertised as investment opportunities – and for good reason. These historic homes date to the early 1900s, with sturdy structures and character-rich bones. Most properties start at $50,000 for something small and needing TLC. Prices reach around $100,000 for a well-maintained residence. "It's an affordable area where buyers can get a more sizeable home," Schramm says. Lower prices can drive a competitive market; most listings find a new owner within a week or two.
In East Deer Township some houses have front yards for you to enjoy the outdoors.

Waterside walks at River Front Park
After school, residents bring the kids to East Deer Memorial Park for deck hockey or to climb on the playground. River Front Park is the neighborhood go-to for a quiet waterside walk. Enjoy a full day outdoors at Deer Lakes Park, featuring three fishing lakes, a spray park and a disc golf course, among its winding wooded trails. The state fisheries stock the lakes with bluegill, perch, and trout - many residents count on the fish as part of their regular diet. You can tell East Deer is a biking town, with cycles strewn on the sidewalks – unlocked. Prepare for a potentially strenuous ride, as the terrain can get steep here.

Check it out to peruse a constant stream of updates and digital flyers. If the dog runs away or the cable goes out – this is where the neighborhood goes to get support. The administrators also post regular job openings and business advertisements. "They have their fair share of neighborhood events," Schramm says.
