Charm, serenity and convenience
The Richland neighborhood offers a blend of suburban comfort and historical charm, with its history as both a steel town and an agricultural hub still on display. Situated in Cambria County, this community combines modern amenities with a rich local history dating back to its establishment in the 19th century. Beyond just the serenity and atmosphere, however, is also access. "It's really the center for shopping and dining in Johnstown," says Michele Haschak, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and resident of the area for over 30 years. "You have all the commercial options nearby, so it's really convenient."
Traditional styles with loving renovations
Richland features a variety of housing styles, most of which are traditional in nature. Prospective homebuyers will find plenty of split-level, ranch-style and National homes throughout the neighborhood. Prices in Richland range from about $85,500 to $200,000 for traditional homes, while more modern or more heavily renovated homes - typically much larger and sitting on several acres - range from $275,000 to $600,000. "You won't find a whole lot of new construction in the area," says Haschak. "But you will find a lot of nice ranches and other traditional styles, and they've usually been taken care of or renovated." Many of these renovated homes are historic in nature and reflect the neighborhood's founding. The homes are well-maintained properties with spacious lots and mature landscaping. Additionally, Haschak notes, "Taxes in the area are really cheap, some of the cheapest in the state. That's definitely part of the appeal."
