Luzerne Township has community ties in a rural Pennsylvania setting
Alongside the winding Monongahela River about 45 miles south of Pittsburgh is the township of Luzerne. Containing vast farmland and dense forests, Luzerne is a quiet, rural region with a modest population of just about 5,600 residents on the western edge of Fayette County. "It’s very nice and it’s quiet," says local Realtor Jamie Santore of Tri County Realty Associates, who has sold over 100 homes throughout southwestern Pennsylvania. "Having kids there is nice because you know the whole area. Everybody knows everybody there." Rural township with strong community ties and scenic views
