Life along the Yougiogheny

Greenock has plenty of green space to offer from the expansive lawns to a scenic trail along the Youghiogheny River, locally known as The Yough. “It’s a suburb that still has a rural feel since homebuyers have more land there,” says Alecia DiMatteo, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices who has lived in the area her whole life. The river is known for being a key location of the French and Indian War, also known as the Seven Years War, where the first shots were fired. Today, the river brings in not tourists as well as longtime residents. “Many outdoorsy people move here since the river is nearby,” says Kim Stotlemyer, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty, who has been selling homes in the area for nearly two decades. There’s also a well-regarded golf club nearby that attracts homebuyers, the Youghiogheny Country Club, Stotlemyer says.

River rafting along The Yough

The Great Allegheny Passage is a trail that borders the edge of Greenock and follows the surrounding Youghiogheny River. Here, residents come to jog, bike, or walk along the river. “People live here to be by the bike trail and the river,” Rollison says. In the warmer months, the river is a popular spot for kayaking, tubing and river rafting. The Youghiogheny Country Club is known for its challenging golf course and is a popular place to hold events and gatherings, like birthday parties.
