Close-knit suburb with a coal-mining history
Indiana Township was an industrial coal mining town in the early 1900s, but has developed into a rural suburb with well-regarded schools and access to many green spaces. “It’s filled with a bunch of cute little communities that were built many years ago,” says longtime Frazer resident Linda Pelkofer, who is also a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway The Preferred Realty. “Even though it’s very rural, it has more of a suburban feel since you’re still connected to areas like downtown. And the parks are beautiful, especially Hartwood Park.” Indiana Township stands out as a warm, welcoming neighborhood about 12 miles from Pittsburgh. “I would describe it as a close-knit community. A lot of people just know each other and are willing to help with any problems,” says Calle Zmenkowski, the assistant manager at Emmerling Ice Cream. The small-town feeling spreads throughout the area's dense woods and residential streets.

Most grocery runs happen at the Aldi or Walmart near the Pittsburgh Mills Mall. While the mall is a popular shopping destination, most residents visit Hartwood Towne Centre to shop and dine all in the same place. The center includes a B&Z Deli and Dive Bar and Grill. Pelkofer says there aren't a lot of dining options in the township, but the ones here are mostly family-owned. Pizza Roma offers a full Italian menu while Grieco’s Carefree Inn serves seafood. For dessert, residents head to Emmerling Ice Cream for a sweet pick-me-up and a mood boost from the friendly employees. “We see a lot of familiar faces every day,” Zmenkowski says. “The business of ice cream is a way to pick someone’s day up.” The menu includes peanut parfaits and ice cream-filled taco shells.
