Large shaded yards and spacious single-family homes
Colonial and ranch-style homes built between the 1960s and 1990s sit on half-acre green lawns in the residential boroughs off East State Street. Backyards shaded by tall trees feature patios and wooden decks, perfect for hosting neighborhood cookouts. Residents have ample parking space with wide streets, long driveways and attached garages. Most homes in these quiet residential boroughs list between $100,000 and $250,000. Similarly priced condos in small cul-de-sac communities were built in the early 2000s and feature three to four bedrooms. Spacious Victorian and Tudor homes built in the 1990s are settled on multi-acre properties in the more rural parts of Hermitage. These luxurious homes have five or more bedrooms and cost around $500,000.
