South Buffalo, located amid the western Pennsylvania countryside north of Pittsburgh, offers the space and freedom to enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle. “It’s a very attractive community that maintains its rural feel,” says Bridget Fogarty, a Realtor with Century 21 American Heritage Realty who lives in nearby Buffalo Township. “Everyone out there lives on at least a half-acre. It’s for people who don’t want to live in a planned development and want to be able to decorate their yard as they see fit.”<br><br>Located near the confluence of the Allegheny River, Kiskiminetas River and Buffalo Creek, South Buffalo was incorporated in 1847 and began to grow following the Civil War as early settlers built homes along the waterways used by merchants to travel and trade their goods. Today, the Allegheny Riverfront forms South Buffalo’s eastern border, and it is dotted with a collection of large, custom-designed homes set back from the main road. You no longer need a canoe to get to and from work, but you do need a car. Luckily, standard features include large private driveways and ample garage space. Spacious backyards provide the perfect setting for sunset viewing. Select homes feature private docks, so you can traverse the same waterways as the early settlers. Away from the river, homes are spread throughout the township. They include renovated 19th-century homes on oversized lots, traditional brick homes built after World War II, midcentury farmhouse-style homes and cozy ranch-style homes built in the 1990s.<br><br>Young students can attend South Buffalo Elementary School in the southwest corner of the township. Older students can attend Freeport Area Middle School and Freeport Area Senior High School, which share a campus nearby. All three are rated B-plus by Niche, and the high school boasts a 10 out of 10 score from GreatSchools’ for college readiness.<br><br>Not far from the schools is Freeport Community Park, home of the city’s Little League and soccer associations. Nearby Riverside Park is a small tranquil green space with a gazebo. Both parks host local events, and Freeport Community Park is home to Laube Hall, a contemporary event center that can be rented out for private celebrations. There’s a public ramp in Freeport near the confluence of the Allegheny River and Buffalo Creek, which runs through much of South Buffalo as it meanders its way north. “The water is very important, as most people enjoy the rural lifestyle,” says Fogarty. “You have little inlets for kayaking, and if you’re a good-enough kayaker, you can get out on the river. The Allegheny is large enough to support pretty big boats. There’s a lot of fishing and hunting. A lot of hunting clubs in the area.” Golfers have easy access to the links at Birdsfoot Golf Course, which features an 18-hole public layout that spans more than 7,000 yards amid the rolling hills and tree-filled landscape of western Pennsylvania. <br><br>If you’re out and about in South Buffalo, you can stop for a country-baked pizza at Novotny’s Grocery, a highly rated mom-and-pop store. But for the most part, dining and retail options are concentrated in the neighboring communities just west of South Buffalo. Evolution Grille is a popular restaurant located on Pennsylvania Route 356 in Buffalo Township. About 2 miles further west along the corridor is a Giant Eagle Supermarket that provides one-stop shopping for daily essentials. Route 356 connects to Pennsylvania Route 28, which can be taken directly into Pittsburgh about 30 miles south. Route 28 runs north through the entirety of South Buffalo.
