Lower Burrell - A Great Town in Westmoreland County, PA
A saying proudly displayed on t-shirts worn by residents of Lower Burrell is, “This is one great city.” That alone should attract attention to this town with a population of over 12,000. According to Lower Burrell Mayor Donald Kinosz, the reason he loves his town is because of the high quality of life that its residents enjoy. With its beautiful scenery, low cost of living, easy access to downtown Pittsburgh, services, and excellent schools, there is no reason to dispute it.

Located in a valley next to the Youghiogheny River in Westmoreland County, West Newton is about to undergo an amazing restoration.

Monessen - A Great Town in Westmoreland County, PA
When people hear about the town of Monessen they immediately begin to think about the “famous” people that once lived there. Its reputation, especially with sports, is one that is hard to miss. But what really made Monessen a booming town in the early 1900s was the steel industry.

Scottdale - A Great Town in Westmoreland County, PA
"Scottdale gives meaning to the words “small town charm.” Only 1.2 square miles in area, Scottdale has a population of fewer than 5,000. It is very rare that you can find a picture-perfect town that still thrives with dining and shopping, but that is not all Scottdale has to offer..."
