A pocket of peace, you won’t find much beyond rolling hills and farmland in Pennsylvania’s Upper Tyrone Township and that’s the appeal of the community. “People who move here are looking for a country atmosphere a lot of times,” says Lynne Kendrish, a Realtor with Century 21 Frontier Realty, who is a longtime area resident. “There are some nice developments that are upscale, but most of it is rural farmland and acreage.” <br><br>Situated 50 miles east of Pittsburgh by way of Interstate-76, those looking to move here will discover a wealth of single-family homes built from the early 1900s to present day. You could find a 1,000-square clapboard cottage that needs updating for $70,000 or 3-bedroom ranch home on an acre for $240,000. Homes typically sell within 45 days. “When the virus happened and everything shut down our inventory was basically nil. Once everything opened back up, we had buyers that wanted homes and they were flying off the market,” Kendrish says. “It’s slowed down a little bit, but they’re still selling relatively quickly.”<br><br>Public school students may attend Southmoreland Primary Center (kindergarten and first grade), Southmoreland Elementary (second through fifth), Southmoreland Middle and Southmoreland Senior High. The primary and high school earn B grades, according to Niche, while the elementary and middle schools score a B-minus and C-plus respectively. In addition to its academic courses, the high school offers a variety of student organizations, including Random Acts of Kindness and Philosophy clubs. <br><br>While Upper Tyrone Township offers a country feel, it’s far from remote. The small towns of Scottdale and Connellsville are less than 5 miles away. Connellsville hosts nationally known big box stores, such as Walmart Supercenter and Scottdale has a slew of independent shops and eateries to choose from. Along the row of historic brick buildings tucked behind the sidewalk in downtown Scottdale, you could stop by Bad Rabbit Café & Roastery to meet a friend for coffee, go antiquing at Bel Air Antiques, or catch a classic movie at the Geyer Performing Arts Center. Michael’s 50’s Diner is the go-to spot for burgers, milkshakes and retro decor, including a life-size Elvis statue and vintage jukebox. Fox’s Pizza Den, known for its 21-slice “Big Daddy” pizza, is another local favorite. <br><br>For outdoor fun, head to Loucks Park in Scottdale. At the 4-acre park, you can shoot some hoops, play a game of tennis, or watch your kids frolic on the playground. “Loucks Park gets a lot of activity because of the softball games there in the summer months,” Kendrish says. “Scottdale also holds a Picnic in the Park there every August. There are really good fireworks at the end.” <br><br>Entertainment on a larger scale is just a short road trip away. Frank Lloyd Wright’s residential, architectural wonder “Fallingwater” in Mill Run and Seven Springs ski resort in Seven Springs are less than 30 miles from Upper Tyrone Township. Professional hockey, soccer and football games await in Pittsburg. “Upper Tyrone Township is low-key. It’s as laid back as you can get these days. It’s a great place for someone who enjoys the country, but everything is close,” Kendrish says. “You are just a hop, skip and a jump from all these wonderful places.”
