Shenango Township Lawrence lies on the southeast outskirts of New Castle, where rolling hills are speckled with homes on spacious lots. While portions of the township have a rural feel, a shopping plaza, a community park and a Giant Eagle are still within reach. Downtown New Castle is within 10 miles of the most remote streets in the township, and highways connect residents to Pittsburgh in about an hour.
A variety of architectural styles are scattered across the township. Cottages from the first three decades of the 20th century — many inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement — range from $40,000 to $225,000, depending on their condition and needed repairs. Placed on grassy lots that go up to an acre in size, many of these older homes can be found on the neatly gridded streets of the South New Castle Borough.
Split-level and ranch-style homes dating back to the 1950s through the 1970s go from $115,000 to $475,000; some come with yards about a third of an acre in size, while others are located on over 40 acres of land with rows of crops and farm amenities. “The lots are larger because of the lack of public utilities years ago,” says Ronalyn Mitcheltree, a Realtor with Howard Hanna who has about two decades of experience, adding that access to public utilities has improved since. The latest wave of homes was added at the turn of the 21st century, mostly in the form of contemporary ranch-style builds and stately Colonial Revivals that fetch between $260,000 and $660,000.
Shenango Township Community Park is one of the township’s main gathering spaces. Several pavilions with grills and picnic tables make al fresco gatherings convenient, while a playground with tunnel slides and courts that accommodate both tennis and pickleball games provide entertainment. Nearby, the Sylvan Heights Golf Course offers an 18-hole layout with multiple tee distances. One of the oldest municipal golf courses in the state, it welcomed Arnold Palmer to its greens in 1948. Just north of the township, Cascade Park is named after a small waterfall tucked away between lush greenery. In addition to a scenic, mile-long hiking trail, the park has bocce ball, horseshoe courts and off-leash play areas for small, large and active dog breeds.
Shenango Commons, a shopping plaza, is directly adjacent to the community park. “They took a little part of the building away, and now you can drive straight through the commons and go directly to the community park,” Mitcheltree says. “It’s more visible and has better access for people.” Once home to a popular Kmart, the shopping center faced a slump after the discount retail chain shut its doors across the country. Now, Shenango Commons is experiencing a revival. Popular restaurants, like Hugger-Mugger Tasty Recipes, surround self-care businesses and a home improvement store. The township is also home to a Giant Eagle for grocery needs, and down the road, Kelly’s Side Door Tavern is an Irish-style bar with pub fare, such as loaded fries and Wisconsin cheese curds. To the southeast of the township, Six Packs Bar & Grill has the essentials of a dive bar — mood lighting, a dart board and a pool table.
United States Route 422 carves through the northern portion of the township and connects to Interstate 376, which traverses Interstate 76, leading southeast toward Pittsburgh — about 50 miles away — including its international airport. The township’s other main thoroughfare is Pennsylvania state Route 65, which connects the community to New Castle in the north and Ellwood City in the south. The New Castle Area Transit Authority maintains a bus route that stops at the Shenango Commons shopping center.
Children in Shenango Township may start their educational journeys with kindergarten through sixth grade at Shenango Elementary School, which scores a B grade from Niche. Afterward, they may move forward to Shenango High School, receiving a B-minus, and serving grades 7-12. The high school offers a variety of performing arts-related courses, like music theory, history of Broadway and history of rock 'n' roll. Dual credit may be earned through the College in High School program, administered in part by Seton Hill University, while career and technical education classes are available in fields like welding, commercial art and cosmetology at the Lawrence County Career & Technical Center.
