Extra elbow room and country living are perks in North Union Township
Evergreens, oak trees and rolling hills stretch across Pennsylvania's North Union Township, greeting residents every morning with scenic landscape views. "North Union has more elbow room," says Ron Lovelace, a local realtor with RE/MAX Professionals who lived in the township before moving to the city next door, Uniontown. "The houses are farther apart, so there's some space between you and your neighbors." The average lot size in North Union is 16,117 square feet, more than South Union Township and Uniontown, homeowners here have plenty of space on their own property to enjoy the great outdoors — one of the main appeals of country living. That said, there are no public parks in North Union, but Ohiopyle State Park is just over 15 miles away, and the annual Fayette County Fair takes place just outside the township's borders.
Families enjoy open spaces and rolling hills throughout North Union Township.

Route 119 offers easy access to Connellsville and Pittsburgh
Immediate access to Route 119 makes for easy 10- to 15-mile commutes north to Connellsville and breezy rides farther north to Pittsburgh, 60 miles away. Lovelace says light traffic and a small community makes errands easier. "When I lived in Virginia Beach, you'd go to the DMV or the post office and have to wait in a long line or wait to have your number called," says Lovelace. "Out here? You walk in, and there's one person ahead of you. Everything is convenient if you don't mind driving. And even driving's better out here. You'll hit stoplights, sure, but really there's no traffic."
