Loyalhanna is part of Westmoreland County's rich history
Located in the Laurel Mountains, Loyalhanna takes its name from the creek winding through its heart. Just west of Latrobe, the birthplace of the banana split and Arnold Palmer, it's part of a network of small communities. "Latrobe is the bigger city, but it's not really big either," says Jackie Jaffre, co-owner of Jaffre's Stone Bar & Kitchen, which operates here. "They are all just good people. They work hard," she says, when describing neighbors. The town is within Westmoreland County, a region with industrial and agricultural roots that served as a key battleground during the French and Indian War.

Mature trees, forest views and eclectic streetscapes
Unlike traditional suburban communities with meticulously manicured lawns, Loyalhanna's neighborhoods are less uniform. The area showcases a variety of architecture, including ranch styles, cottages, Colonial Revivals and craftsman bungalows. Often, there is a medley on one residential road on everything from small to spacious lots. Some residences show signs of age and weathering; others have been carefully maintained over time. Mature trees and forest views also shape the neighborhood's feel. Most homes are priced between approximately $110,000 and $390,000, depending on their size and condition. The median sales price is $153,450 compared to $200,000 in Latrobe.
