1700s beginning with stills and distilleries

Hempfield Township is the oldest local municipality in western Pennsylvania. With early 18th-century beginnings, this rural locality became known for its stills and distilleries where local farmers produced grains. Nowadays, busy town centers cluster around the major highway intersections, giving residents a chance to enjoy the area’s evolving culture and growing amenities." It's a good town to raise a family in," says Debbie Macurak, Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway

Many housing options with some historical homes

There’s a wide spectrum of home styles, sizes and landscapes to choose from in this sprawling township. Buyers can pick out a manufactured home for $50,000 to $100,000 here, increasing with the size and level of updates. Simple midcentury ranch designs and split levels go for closer to $200,000 to $300,000. Condo units are available in growing Greensburg for those seeking maintenance-free living, priced around $250,000. Buyers will also find brand new builds cropping up throughout town, inching over $400,000. Historical homes scatter across the sprawling township in varying states of upkeep. "Certain areas move more quickly than others - the rural properties tend to sit longer," Macurak says. Many buyers look to this area to reinvest in these character-rich residences. Most Hempfield listings find new owners within a few weeks on the market.
