Rolling farmland, fresh produce and a sprinkling of historical charm — that’s what you’ll find in western Pennsylvania’s Greene Township. “This is easy living: There's no traffic, hardly any crime and it’s nice and quiet,” says Susan Daniel, a certified negotiation expert with Howard Hanna and a longtime resident of the area. Centering on the Hookstown borough, this rural township facilitates community connection through lively events celebrating the past and the present with equal vigor.

Various home types and lot sizes across 26 square miles
Whether you’re looking for a country ranch-style home with several acres or a bright Cape Cod with next-door neighbors, you’ll find options throughout the sprawling landscape of Greene Township. Homes closer to Hookstown tend to sit on smaller lots, and the combination of bright colors and whimsical yard ornaments adds character to the streets. Sidewalks are few and far between, but a lack of through traffic and reduced speed limits on side streets means you won’t have to worry about dodging cars when walking to your neighbor’s house.
Federal-style homes from the 1830s complement the township’s historic feel, while spacious parcels of undeveloped land leave room for farming or livestock operations. With only 2,200 people across the township’s 26 square miles, open land is abundant, and competitive prices can be a big draw for buyers. You might find a nearly 30-acre parcel available for under $300,000 — an incredible price considering Pennsylvania’s average of $30,000 per acre. If you’re looking for something more established, though, you’ll still find options at multiple price points. Ranch-style homes with more than 4,000 square feet on 5-acre lots often list for just under $500,000, while two-bedroom cottages with minimal yard space tend to hover around $220,000.
