Kittanning Township
Housing styles include ranches and colonial revival
The majority of the homes, which line the area’s winding, narrow country roads, were constructed between 1950 and 1990. The style of many of the homes here are ramblers, ranches and colonial revivals, with floor plans of about 1,700 square feet. Lots are about 77,000 square feet, ideal for those who value privacy. Many of these homes have been well taken care of and some have even been remodeled. The CAP Index crime score for the community is 1 out of 10, the lowest possible score. Ironically enough, the FX drama "Justified," a show about the exploits of a United States Marshal Service deputy, was filmed in Kittanning.Properties in this area are usually at least an acre, says Barker, who has lived in the area for more than 30 years. There are also farms here that stretch 50 to 100 acres, Barker says, growing crops like corn and soybeans and housing cattle. Price tags for homes usually fall between $110,000 and $411,000. A four-bedroom ranch can start at $165,000, while a lot with two homes can go for $240,000. A 3-bedroom rambler can cost $200,000. Three-bed colonial revivals have sold for $300,000 and a 4-bedroom farmhouse goes for $420,000. Empty lots can cost between $9,000 to $20,000 per acre. According to Tim Johns of Realty One Group Landmark, the neighborhood has a “small-town community” feel. He adds that the community also tends to be very “close-knit.” Most residents and potential buyers are attracted to Kittanning’s proximity to the Alleghany River. The River also hosts events like Arts on the Alleghany and the annual Fort Armstrong Folk Festival.
Elementary kids get a chance to flex their math skills
Children who live here can go to the schools in the Armstrong School District, starting at Lenape Elementary. Lenape, a kindergarten through sixth-grade school, has a C+ overall grade on Niche. Fourth- through sixth-graders at Lenape can participate in the Math 24 Tournament, an annual academic competition that allows them to flex their math skills and decision-making by using addition, subtraction, division and multiplying to arrive at 24 on their game piece. Students can move on to Armstrong Jr.-Sr. High after Lenape, for Grades 7 to 12. This C-rated school has a business education department that offers several courses in accounting, entrepreneurship, and marketing. Butler County Community College in Butler is the closest college in the area.Crooked Creek Lake provides opportuities to swim, fish and hike
When residents have free time, Crooked Creek Lake is a popular spot to have fun outside. The 350-acre lake is a favorite place to fish for sunfish, crappie, bass and muskie. Swimmers can also enjoy the lake from Tunnelville Beach. Around the lake, there are five trails and a campground with a volleyball area, a playground and corn hole boards. For fast-paced fun, people who live in the area can also visit Blanket Hill Speedway and watch the dirt track races on Saturday nights."Cowboy Sam" greets Cadet Restaurant patrons
One of the well-liked spots to grab a bite to eat in this area, Barker says, is Cadet Restaurant. Cadet is part of nearby Kittanning Borough, the seat of Armstrong County. Open since 1952, Cadet is known in part for the 30-foot cowboy statue out front with a hamburger in hand. “Cowboy Sam,” as the statue is known, is a Kittanning Borough icon. Cadet has a famous Poorboy Burger, a double-decker with cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. A Kittanning gathering place since 1952, Cadet’s motto is “Enter a stranger; leave as friends.” The Meredith Inn serves steaks, chops and shareable platters for a date night meal. Riverfront eateries can be found in nearby Ford City. Kittanning Borough is also where Kittanning Township residents can go for grocery shopping at Sprankle’s Neighborhood Market. Residents can also venture to Lenape Heights for more grocery and retail shopping.The Alleghany River is a hub for events
The River also hosts events like Arts on the Alleghany and the annual Fort Armstrong Folk Festival.Commuters can use Route 422 for area access

For trips to Pittsburgh, which is about 50 miles away, the highway meets with Route 28.
