Why Live in Hemlock
Hemlock is a rural and suburban township on the northwestern edge of Bloomsburg, the seat of Columbia County. “Most of our identity revolves around being close to that town because it’s where people work, go to school and go out to eat,” says Eric Stahley, a lifelong Hemlock resident and the township’s manager. Less than 5 miles from Hemlock, Bloomsburg has a vibrant downtown district and several major employers, including a Commonwealth University campus. Within the township, acres of farmland surround winding roads, and there’s a shopping corridor with big-box stores. “We all enjoy living on really quiet and private properties while also being close to everything we need,” Stahley says. Homes built between the early 1900s and 2020s dot Hemlock’s hilly roads. Colonial Revivals, Cape Cod cottages and New Traditional houses are all common. Some homes sit on modest lots shaded by oak trees, while other properties are working farms with soybean crops and cattle. The median single-family house price is around $352,000, which is higher than Bloomsburg’s $238,000 median. “We’ve got houses on 10 or more acres and some new-build houses, so those factors usually drive prices up,” Stahley
