Rustic community with protected farmland
Named after Connoquenessing Creek, Connoquenessing Township is a rural community in west-central Butler County. “It’s full of farmland, and even areas that are designated for agriculture,” says Diane Bureman, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services with over six years of experience in the industry. With land designated as Agricultural Security Areas, farm-related activities are protected and cannot be declared as a nuisance. In addition to its verdant landscapes, the township offers access to Pennsylvania Route 68. Also known as Evans City Road, the highway hosts a small commercial corridor and connects residents to nearby shopping, dining and entertainment in the city of Butler. “It’s a beautiful rural community with an easy drive to great restaurants, breweries and jobs,” says Geoff Smathers, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services with over 25 years of experience in the industry.
Connoquenessing Township has a long history from its first settlers in 1792.

Country homes, new construction and spacious lots
Homebuyers will find a wide variety of housing styles and options in Connoquenessing Township. “There’s a whole bunch of different stuff out there. There are older Butler County homes on larger pieces of land, and a bunch of developers have purchased farmland and done brand-new construction,” Smathers says. Ranch-style and split-level homes date to the mid-1900s and feature a mix of brick and vinyl siding. Most homes sit in the southeastern corner of the township around Evans City Road, but homebuyers can find custom-built properties with spacious lots further from the highway. “It’s in the country, so you can get some impressive lots over there. Some houses have multiple acres of land,” Bureman says. More recent construction includes the Shannon Mills subdivision, which has a mix of ranch-style patio homes and New Traditional builds. Home prices typically range from $275,000 for older ranch-style houses to $540,000 for new construction. The township has an overall CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10, significantly lower than the national average of 4.
