Peaceful, small-town atmosphere
Muse was once a small coal mining town in West Pennsylvania. Today, it’s a rural neighborhood full of houses sitting on rolling hills. “It’s a nice, small town,” says John Fincham, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty who has worked in the area for nearly two decades. “You blink your eyes and you’re right through the town.” This rural town, 20 miles from downtown Pittsburgh, offers a peaceful atmosphere with acres of hilly green space. "Muse is for people who like small-town living; those who are overwhelmed by masses of people," says Terra Bradley, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices in Washington, who was born and raised in the area.
Muse's landscape of bucolic farmland draws residents to it's rolling hills.
The main line of the Montour Trail which cuts through Muse is 47 miles long.
