Ranch-style houses among rolling hills
Housing in West Deer Township provides a sense of privacy and seclusion that cannot be found in the city. “It's more of a rural suburb,” says Sara Leitera, a Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway, “Houses are a lot further apart with sizeable plots.” Large ranch-style farmhouses are nestled throughout the area's rolling hills and forests. Bi-level and split-level houses with vinyl exteriors can be found in the more central regions of the township. These houses have front porches, making for a great spot to enjoy the summer months.
