Zelienople is quaint and thriving

In 1802, a German aristocrat founded the town of Zelienople, named after his daughter Zelie. “It’s a charming small town and thriving. It's a popular area that offers a lot,” says Sue Malagise, Realtor with Howard Hanna Realty. This historical borough not only retains the architecture and quaint feel of its rich past but has expanded upon that legacy to include a walkable business district filled with restaurants and exciting community events.

Some of Zelienople’s oldest homes still stand

The borough features a business district complete with shops and restaurants surrounded by blocks of single-family homes. Most feature medium-sized yards and a mix of detached and attached garages. “They have some older homes that are well built with a lot of character,” Malagise says. Prospective buyers can choose from brick Georgian houses featuring Doric columns, a move-in ready restored Victorian with intricate woodwork trim, folk Victorians with their simpler rectangular shape or opt for minimalist style bungalows. The average sales price here is $226,900, but price points range from the low $200,000s into the high $400,000s, depending on their size.

New restaurants are popping up along Main Street

On Main Street, you’ll find places to eat for any occasion. “They have a lot of new restaurants and businesses. They’re renovating the town, which brought a lot of new business,” Malagise says. For a casual dining experience, ShuBrew offers a comfortable pub where you hang out with friends and enjoy live music on their rooftop. At Goodfello’s Pizza Pasta & Grill, a locally owned Italian joint, dine in a simple, no-frills ambiance ideal for a meal shared with the family. Kaufman Tavern offers date night vibes with cocktails served at a marble bar and crystal chandeliers hanging overhead in this historic Italianate-style building.
