Small-town lifestyle with river access in Kittanning
Taking its name from a Lenape word meaning "Great River," Kittanning is a small Pennsylvania borough on the east bank of the Allegheny. "It's a more rural area, and they have the river. The river is a big attraction up there," says Shane Eagal, a Realtor at Re/Max Select Realty with 12 years of experience.
The region was once a bustling Native American village before it was destroyed during the French and Indian War. Armstrong County was established in 1800, and Kittanning became the county seat. The town of about 4,000 is roughly 43 miles from Pittsburgh and is known today for its outdoor recreation and small-town setting, which has been used as a location for several movies and television shows. "You've got boating and fishing, and there's a rails-to-trails path that runs through Kittanning for hiking and biking," Eagal says. "It's just a really cute, small community."

Vintage homes and postwar properties line walkable streets
Bungalows, American Foursquares and two-story folk-style homes are typical in Kittanning. Many are from the late 1800s and early 1900s. There are some postwar properties in town, with the median build year being 1954. Houses are often close together on city streets, with sidewalks offering walkability through the area. Fixer-uppers and investment properties sell for $10,000 to $140,000. Move-in ready homes cost between $80,000 and $200,000. Much of the town is prone to flooding from the Allegheny River. The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency offers tools to determine flood risks and explore insurance options.

Boating, biking and concerts along the Allegheny River
Riverfront Park is a linear green space along the Allegheny River with benches, picnic tables and a walking path. It's also home to an amphitheater that hosts the Arts on the Allegheny free summer concert series. A boat ramp at the park's south end offers a spot for residents to put in kayaks, canoes or motorboats. The Armstrong Trail is a 52-mile paved and gravel path that follows former railroad tracks and meanders along the river. Activities include biking, walking, fishing and cross-country skiing. John Whelan Park is in the heart of town, with tennis courts, a basketball court and a small playground.
Anglers and boaters will love the easy access to the Allegheny River in nearby Rayburn.

Downtown Kittanning offers shops, groceries and upscale dining
Market and Jefferson streets are home to locally owned businesses. Bugsy's Pizza is a casual pizzeria that's been serving the community for over 30 years. The Meredith Inn Restaurant provides an upscale dining experience, serving steak and seafood in a historic building on Water Street. For more dining, Eagal recommends taking a short drive south of town to Falsetti's Villa Restaurant. "That place is amazing. It's still one of those places where you can get a big portion for a good price. There's no way you're finishing a meal there," he says. Stores in downtown Kittanning include a pharmacy, clothing stores and gift shops. Groceries are available at Sprankle's Neighborhood Market, and there are big-box stores across the river in West Kittanning.
