Mixture of old and new
This old coal mining town is 35 miles southeast of downtown Pittsburgh. It's a quiet, suburban area outside of bustling Greensburg, the county seat and vibrant commercial hub. Old mixes with new here, where midcentury designs sit between early 1900s farmhouses and mini-mansion developments. Bovard homeowners enjoy easy, peaceful living near the region's most popular amenities. “It’s a big mixture of things here. There are people who have been in their homes for years and years, and there are a lot of newer developments,” says Sheryl Eagle, Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway.
Diverse homes and lot sizes
The housing stock is diverse in this rural area. Townhouses, condos and a wide breadth of single-family styles spread over rolling, grassy hillsides, each respective variety huddled in small groupings. Older 1950s-era subdivisions lodge narrow two-story cottages tightly along Bovard's steep streets. These simple spots typically list for less than $100,000. Bovard's newer residences have attached garages and more wiggle room between their neighbors. The symmetrical designs and shuttered windows nod to traditional Colonial designs. Many are four or five-bedroom properties and sell for $600,000 to $800,000. Townhomes and condos go for $150,000 to $250,000 here, fluctuating with the home size and age of updates. Buyers can expect listings to stick around for a few months before finding a new owner.
