Evolving suburbs in the Gateway to Beaver County
After hundreds of years of lumber, mill and steel industries building up and declining along the Ohio River, Hopewell Township has developed centuries of rich local history, as layered and fluctuating as the forested hills of Western Pennsylvania it sprawls across. “A lot of the family names from early settlers are still here in Hopewell. I remember back in the day, you'd hear your parents talk about putting food on the table in the strike times of the steel business. J&L Steel produced the whole area, all these municipalities,” says John Bates, Hopewell Township’s zoning officer who has lived in the area for 63 years. “Even though the land has been utilized for neighborhoods, it continues to develop, upgrade and change. It’s evolving into what it will be in the future.” Unlike Aliquippa, the city that Hopewell curves around which still looks like an aged version of its early 20th century self, Hopewell Township's larger footprint has allowed for significant residential developments that have transformed it into a varied bedroom community in more recent decades. Known as the Gateway to Beaver County thanks to the active Interstate 376 corridor, Hopewell Township is the connector between the more rural and industrial hubs deeper in Beaver County to the steel-built skyline of Pittsburgh, further down the Parkway West.

BCTA, Interstate 376 and Pittsburgh commuting
For many that buy in Hopewell Township, it's a strategic financial and commute-based move. "Hopewell Township is in Beaver County, so the taxes are lower than in Allegheny," says Diane McConaghy, a Realtor and associate broker with RE/MAX Select Realty who has 11 years of experience serving Beaver, Butler, Allegheny and Washington counties. "When I see relocations, a lot of folks want to move to the area because the plant in Monaca employs a lot of people." Shell Polymers Monaca is within 10 miles of Hopewell Township, but I-376 also runs throughout the township, providing a roughly 10-mile drive to Pittsburgh International Airport and 27-mile drive into downtown Pittsburgh. For medical care, Heritage Valley Beaver is around 13 miles away. Green Garden Plaza is a stop on Beaver County Transit Authority’s Line 2 bus route, but residents overwhelmingly use their own vehicles to get around.

Suburban sprawl, new subdivisions and townhouses in Hopewell Township
Hopewell Township’s diverse housing stock sits on midcentury suburban blocks, cul-de-sac subdivisions developed within the last 30 years and isolated rural acreages along forested country roads. Small ranch-style, split-level and minimal traditional single-family homes are the most common finds, standing on long, grassy blocks developed in the 1940s through 1970s and selling for $70,000 to $385,000. New Traditional homes with upward of four bedrooms line gently winding subdivisions and cul-de-sacs developed in the 1990s through 2020s, selling for $335,000 to $625,000. Mismatched townhouses built over integral garages near I-376 in the 80s and 90s sell for $100,000 to $265,000.

Brodhead Road, dining and shopping at Green Garden Plaza
Brodhead Road is Hopewell Township’s main commercial thoroughfare, lined by scattered shopping plazas and small business centers and medical offices. “There’s not a lot of chain restaurants. It’s more small family places that have been in business for years,” Bates says. “We just got a new one, Leon’s Caribbean Restaurant, which is a different cuisine. It's like a new adventure to try.” Next to the Kuhn’s Market in the same Hopewell Shopping Center, J. W. Hall’s has served sit-down prime rib and seafood specials alongside a popular salad bar since the 80s. Further down the road, Harold’s Inn is known for their special chicken seasoning. Away from Brodhead and tucked off the interstate, Green Garden Plaza is home to retailers like Giant Eagle and Big Lots as well as a gym and Chevy dealership. The Beaver Valley Mall is nearby in Monaca. Several churches hold services throughout the township, including Our Lady of Fatima, a Catholic church whose associated schools is a popular fish fry spot on Fridays through Lent.

Lakeside recreation at Hopewell Community Park
At the center of the township, Hopewell Community Park is a sprawling collection of picnic pavilions, playground equipment and more natural recreation amenities. Around its central lake, hikers explore tranquil woods on trails interspersed with wooden footbridges and anglers catch and release from piers, kept company by flocks of ducks and geese. The park’s steepled wooden amphitheater has hosted countless bands and performers, playing to crowds sitting in lawn chairs brought from home. Across the street from the main park, furry friends run off-leash at Hopewell Dog Park. Golfers can tee-off at the Club at Shadow Lakes, a public 18-hole golf course.

Events in Hopewell Community Park
The township’s recreation department organizes events at Hopewell Community Park throughout the year, ranging from vintage care shows to family move nights and fishing derbies for all ages. "Park Fest used to be even bigger than it is now. It used to be three days and they had fireworks each night, it was killer," Bates says. While the fireworks budget has lessened, Hopewell Township Park Fest is still one of the most anticipated annual events, drawing hundreds of attendees shuttling from nearby parking lots to the fairgrounds each July for an afternoon of carnival games, bounce castle fun, watermelon eating competitions, food trucks, live music and fireworks at dark.

Raccoon Creek flooding
Areas of the township closest to Raccoon Creek and waterways running through Hopewell Community Park can flood after heavy rain, leading to road closures. Portions of Independence Road and the roadways surrounding Green Garden Plaza have experienced the brunt of flooding in the past. “Luckily, it’s mostly state roads and very few households that are in those flood zones. There’s not a great number of people in significant danger,” Bates says.
