Pulaski Township has agricultural roots and strong community ties
Affectionately referred to as 'The Flats' by locals, Pulaski Township is a small, quiet and laidback residential community in the heart of Beaver County, 33 miles northwest of Downtown Pittsburgh.
First, a bit of history. This township gets its name from "The Father of American Cavalry," Casimir Pulaski, a Polish General who commanded American troops during the Revolutionary War. It was predominantly an agricultural community for many years. Today, Pulaski isn't just a place for farmers but for those who enjoy small-town living. "You know the phrase 'it takes a village?' That's how the Flats are," says Timothy Bable, a local Realtor with EXP Realty who grew up next door to Pulaski Township in New Brighton. "All the neighbors look after each other. Folks know whose kids are where just from the bikes in the front yard."
Relative affordability compared to other Pittsburgh suburbs
You can find homes in this township that date back as far as 1900, and many more built throughout the '40s, '50s and '60s, but the general buildout of properties didn't stop until the late 1990s. While no two homes here are the same, there are a couple dominant architectural styles. The iconic, boxy builds of American Foursquare homes are popular, as are cozy bungalows and ranch-style houses, typically raised due to the area's hilly landscape. Listing prices range from $19,000 to $120,000, which is incredibly affordable compared to townships and boroughs closer to Pittsburgh — especially those by the river. A little more than $68,000, the average listing price, could land you a two-bedroom, two-bathroom property.

Nearby Big Rock and Brady’s Run parks provide nature and adventures
New Brighton is also where you'll find nearby parks, such as Big Rock Park, a popular green space framed by First Avenue and the Beaver River. Its 7 acres of shoreline feature a half-mile walking trail and quiet fishing spots. It's also one of the only stretches of public property in the commonwealth where you can observe an active bald eagle nest. Across the river, nearby recreational mecca Brady's Run Park spans 2,000 acres with a plethora of outdoor amenities and even an indoor ice-skating rink. From horseback riding and mountain biking to fishing and boating, this park is a hub where folks can do it all. "Western Pennsylvania's known for awesome hunting," Bable says. "I do a lot of bow hunting myself. Hunting, hiking, fishing, mountain biking and horseback riding — all that's within a half hour from Pulaski. It seems like there isn't much to do around here, but really, there's a lot."
