Homes among rolling hills near mountains, rivers, lakes
One of the original seven townships of Allegheny County, Elizabeth Township, 24 miles from Pittsburgh, sits within rolling green hills dotted with clusters of residences and within driving distance of towns along the Monongahela River. “There is a lot of farmland,” says Janna Sandleitner, Realtor with Realty Association. “My sister lives on a 300-acre farm out there.” Despite the open green space within the area, residents form a close-knit community through holiday events and the proximity of homes, which are organized in clusters along wide roadways. Residents enjoy the open spaces, numerous trails and parks within Elizabeth Township, and amenities in nearby towns or along the highways cutting through the area. “It’s close to the mountains, rivers and lakes,” says Terry Fox, farm manager of Round Hill Park. “There’s plenty to do indoors and out. It’s a nice town.” The CAP Index crime score for the neighborhood is a 2 out of 10, with the national average being 4.

Round Hill Park, Youghiogheny
Round Hill Park is one of nine available in Allegheny County. While its 1,100 acres are home to barn animals including chickens, sheep and retired police horses, it’s also a working farm that grows hay and corn for feed. The public is welcome to visit and take advantage of the miles of trails for hiking and biking, the barn-themed splash pad and the playground that’s tucked into a grove of thick trees. Sometimes the park hosts outdoor movies. “In the fall, it’s breathtaking,” says Fox. The Youghiogheny River flows through the area and is a favorite for water activities, including kayaking. The Great Allegheny Passage runs beside the river and through the hamlet of Boston. The passage is an interstate trail that ends in downtown Pittsburgh. There are two private golf courses in the area: Victory Hills Golf Course, which has an 18-hole course, and Butler’s Golf Course, which has a 36-hole course. Seasonal basketball, soccer and wrestling tournaments are hosted at Marx’s Court Time.

Zombek holiday fundraiser
Holiday-themed events bring the community together throughout the year, including the Elizabeth Township Fall Festival where residents can snap photos with popular animated characters or try pumpkin painting. Throughout December, a private home on Williamsburg Drive draws crowds for its elaborate display of Christmas lights and animatronics.

Residents looking to attend religious services in the community have choices including World of Life at the Outpost, Central Highland Community United Methodist Church and Sisters of the Divine Redeemer.
