A close-knit feel near urban amenities in South Strabane Township
South Strabane Township has ample green space and quiet residential pockets, close to major thoroughfares and city amenities, located on the northern outskirts of Washington, Pennsylvania. “The Washington area is very close knit, where everyone knows everyone,” says Brenda Deems, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Washington County native. “It’s surrounded by two highways, so it’s very quick to get anywhere.” Pittsburgh is around 30 miles away and is within a 30-minute drive, according to Deems. Big Box stores sit in the center of the township, with local businesses a few minutes away in downtown Washington.
Neighborhood rooftops stretch across rolling hills, illustrating the township’s peaceful residential setting.

Shopping and dining on Washington Road and in downtown Washington
Washington Road is lined with big box stores, supermarkets and chain restaurants. “Everything you need is right there,” Deems says. Target, Sam’s Club and Walmart are all nearby, while downtown Washington is just three to five miles away. Harmony House Cafe serves coffee, sandwiches and baked goods. The Presidents Club is a cozy tavern offering pub fare from fish and chips to bone-in pork chops. The eatery is also known for its specialty cocktails. Along U.S. Route 40, Kopper Kettle Restaurant serves pasta, wings and steakhouse fare and has served as a local watering hole for over 30 years.
Inside Kopper Kettle, guests enjoy hearty meals in a cozy, casual atmosphere that’s been a staple for decades.

Privacy between homes and a wide range of price tags
The township has a diverse housing market, from mid-century Cape Cods and farmhouses to 1970s bi-levels and 21st-century Colonial Revivals. “In South Strabane, you can get more land and bigger homes compared to neighboring communities,” says Deems. “Even with smaller properties, you have some privacy from your neighbors because it’s more spread out.” Many of the area’s houses sit on properties between a quarter acre and 2 acres, with some smaller lots closer to Washington’s city limits. Manufactured homes and fixer uppers range from $20,000 to $80,000 while move-in-ready houses can go for $130,000 to $720,000, with newer builds and spacious lots making up the high end of the market. One to three-bedroom condos and townhouses range from $100,000 to $380,000.
Some mid-century cottages feature stone façades, typical of the township’s diverse housing options.
