Countryside living in Pittsburgh
In Frazer Township, those who want to feel free from busy city life in downtown Pittsburgh will find solace. The township was established in 1920 and named after Robert S. Frazer, a Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice. For many decades, it was known as a popular coal mining area. Today, the neighborhood provides a population of just over 1,000 residents that make up a peaceful community with an expansive park and a popular shopping destination. “If you want to live in the country, move to Frazer,” says Connie Rusek-Lichok, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who has been selling homes in the area for nearly two decades. Frazer has a mix of rural and suburban living with lots of farmland and green space available for homebuyers, says Patricia Garrigan, a Realtor at Century 21 American Heritage who has worked in the township for over a decade.

All neighbors are friendly but not nosy. Commitment to community is evident. Random people will take turns clearing elderly people's driveways. The township is always available and helpful. Several times I have seen citizens clear downed trees and/or branches during a storm.
