A burgeoning township outside of Pittsburgh

Chartiers Township is a quickly evolving rural area on the cusp of southwestern Pittsburgh's suburban residential developments. Situated close to Canonsburg and Interstate 79, the exurb offers convenience to modern amenities and commercial hot spots like the Tanger Outlets, while giving residents more space than properties closer to the city. "Homes here are more spread out with spacious yards, but very close to amenities," says Jordan Schramm, Realtor at RE/MAX Select Realty. New residential construction in burgeoning subdivisions provides a suburban lifestyle amidst the rural setting of Washington County.

A blend of established small cottages and new Colonial Revival styles

While midcentury-era subdivisions of smaller cottages, raised ranches and split-level homes – typically listing between $90,000 and $325,000 – make up the more established housing stock in this neighborhood, new subdivisions have been sprouting up with more contemporary styles. Colonial Revival and New Traditional architecture are most common among these newer subdivisions, most built within the last 15 years. These more recent builds, along with single-family homes set on larger lots of up to 10 acres, may price from around $315,000 to $450,000, though outliers include farms with sprawling 80-plus acre lots for $1.4 million. Townhouses and carriage homes are also available, clustered in rows among growing subdivisions, costing between $280,000 and $390,000.
