Lincoln Hill-Elwood Park welcomes all to its community.
Lincoln HIll-Elwood Park a link to the wider region
Lincoln Hill-Elwood Park has mining roots, a section of Washington that was once a town under the purview of the Lincoln Gas Coal Company. And while mining isn’t this area’s bread and butter anymore, this is a section of town that’s still notable in part for its proximity to jobs. Lincoln Hill-Elwood Park is less than an hour from both Pittsburgh and Morgantown, West Virginia, making it what local Realtor Betsy West describes as a compromise for those who have relocated from those two cities. The accessibility to interstate travel is one of the area’s chief appeals, she says. “These locations are within three minutes of Interstate 70 and 79, which people who travel extensively into Pittsburgh or Morgantown, WV use,” says West, of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.
Homes here come with historical flavor
Settlement in Lincoln Hill-Elwood Park really sprouted in the early 1900s — the Lincoln Gas Coal Company established itself in the area in 1917 and 1918. In turn, multiple streets here are named after presidents from around the turn of the 20th century, including Cleveland, Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. Some of the homes in this area date back to that era, too, built in the 1910s and 1920s. Other sections of town feature a predominance of larger, midcentury homes. Across the board, Lincoln Hill-Elwood Park houses have floor plans that stretch an average of 1,300 square feet. Lawns in Lincoln Hill-Elwood Park are compact but well-manicured, part of lots that are often around one-fifth of an acre. These properties dot a landscape shaped by the region’s hills. Prices in this area occasionally dip below $100,000 but are most often between the mid-$100,000s and the high $200,000s.

Hasn’t changed that much.” The chicken parm at Roland’s Trattoria is popular, and the restaurant is known in part for its abundant portion sizes for reasonable prices.
