Fawn Township Houses for Sale

Fawn Township in Natrona Heights is a rural enclave nestled among forested ridges, characterized by winding country roads, long-standing local businesses, and expansive acreages and farms. The township maintains its agricultural roots, with development mandates preventing suburban sprawl. Homes here range from early 1900s bungalows and Cape Cods to ranch-style and split-level homes, many on over an acre of land. More recent New Traditional or custom-built homes from the 1990s and later are less common and typically larger. Fawn Township is safer than the national average, with a low crime risk.
