Affectionately referred to as 'The Flats' by locals, Pulaski Township is a small, quiet and laidback residential community in the heart of Beaver County, 33 miles northwest of Downtown Pittsburgh.

First, a bit of history. This township gets its name from "The Father of American Cavalry," Casimir Pulaski, a Polish General who commanded American troops during the Revolutionary War. It was predominantly an agricultural community for many years. Today, Pulaski isn't just a place for farmers but for those who enjoy small-town living. "You know the phrase 'it takes a village?' That's how the Flats are," says Timothy Bable, a local Realtor with EXP Realty who grew up next door to Pulaski Township in New Brighton. "All the neighbors look after each other. Folks know whose kids are where just from the bikes in the front yard."

You can find homes in this township that date back as far as 1900, and many more built throughout the '40s, '50s and '60s, but the general buildout of properties didn't stop until the late 1990s. While no two homes here are the same, there are a couple dominant architectural styles. The iconic, boxy builds of American Foursquare homes are popular, as are cozy bungalows and ranch-style houses, typically raised due to the area's hilly landscape. Listing prices range from $19,000 to $120,000, which is incredibly affordable compared to townships and boroughs closer to Pittsburgh — especially those by the river. A little more than $68,000, the average listing price, could land you a two-bedroom, two-bathroom property.

Pulaski Township is a predominantly residential community, but there are a couple local watering holes and eateries you'll always find residents spending time around, and one of the most popular is Top of the Ninth, a mouthwatering pizza shop. Even more community favorites are less than 2 miles outside of the township in downtown New Brighton, including Slurp-N-Burst Boba Tea and The Promise Blend. As for stocking the pantry, Foodland is where most locals grab their groceries.

New Brighton is also where you'll find nearby parks, such as Big Rock Park, a popular green space framed by First Avenue and the Beaver River. Its 7 acres of shoreline feature a half-mile walking trail and quiet fishing spots. It's also one of the only stretches of public property in the commonwealth where you can observe an active bald eagle nest. Across the river, nearby recreational mecca Brady's Run Park spans 2,000 acres with a plethora of outdoor amenities and even an indoor ice-skating rink. From horseback riding and mountain biking to fishing and boating, this park is a hub where folks can do it all. "Western Pennsylvania's known for awesome hunting," Bable says. "I do a lot of bow hunting myself. Hunting, hiking, fishing, mountain biking and horseback riding — all that's within a half hour from Pulaski. It seems like there isn't much to do around here, but really, there's a lot."

Pulaski Township is served by the New Brighton Area School District, so local students will start their studies at New Brighton Elementary, rated with a C-plus on Niche, before going to New Brighton Middle, rated with a C on Niche, and graduating from New Brighton High, which boasts a B on Niche and has a number of varsity sports for students to dive into, including baseball, soccer, track and field, golf, football, volleyball and field hockey. "I always walked to high school with my friends," Bable says. "The high school's in the Flats, so it was a 10- or 15-minute walk for us. It was nice to grow up like that."

With all the perks of small-town living and all the advantages of a rich, verdant landscape, the township of Pulaski is a beautiful and quiet place to call home.
