Menallen Township blends rural charm with growing suburban appeal
Like the spring-sprouting wildflowers that cover western Pennsylvania’s rolling hills, Menallen Township is blooming. This sprawling bedroom community about 50 miles south of downtown Pittsburgh is building up its rural landscape to create a welcoming, suburban enclave of Uniontown, and the population is rising every year. “There’s a lot of farmland and history here, and it’s great for those who enjoy outdoor recreation,” says Jeff Dennis, Realtor with eXp Realty, who sells homes across Fayette County. Traversed by US Route 40, Menallen preserves the past by restoring historic landmarks such as Searights Tollhouse, an original toll booth built in the 1830s.

Older ranch-styles and new developments share the countryside
Red brick ranch-style homes pepper the pastures along the township’s oldest roads, and split-level builds from the mid-20th century fit like puzzle pieces into the hillside. But with burgeoning contemporary developments along hilly streets, Menallen is just as focused on the future and encourages buyers to build their dream homes on the township’s spacious lots. Newly constructed homes typically include three or four bedrooms and around 2,000 square feet of living space, commanding prices in the $300,000 to $350,000 range. These developments usually include sidewalks that border manicured lawns, which sets them apart from the township’s more rural subdivisions. Older homes can range from $150,000 to $250,000 depending on renovations, size and acreage, and parcels of land are also available and ripe for development. Dennis says many of these lots already have access to nearby utilities, making them much easier to build on.
