Lower cost of living 55 miles from Pittsburgh
Located along the southern border of Johnstown, Elim is a suburb with popular local restaurants and easy access to recreation. The city had an industrial boom in the 1800s thanks to its iron, coal and steel plants. However, catastrophic floods in 1889 and 1977 slowed development in the area, with Johnstown today sitting at a population of just over 18,000. The city’s minimal growth gives the area a lower cost of living, with Pittsburgh commuters choosing this part of the state to take advantage of the comparatively lower-priced homes.
Houses in Elim are often times nestled between the green.
Expect front yards to be a feature of most Elim houses.
