Johnstown is booming. This is a large sampling of new homes in Johnstown. There is so much to see and so many options.

Given the growth we are experiencing (and yes, I am a long-time resident and proponent of Johnstown; I have raised my family here and love it!), I have had the opportunity to witness all of these new communities. I am also familiar with most of the established Communites having lived in and sold in many.

Our growth has seen the major additions of the new and amazing Roosevelt High School, Elwell Elementary, the new/completely refurbished Roosevelt Middle School, the YMCA, Wood’s Market, Buc-Eee’s, Scheel’s at Johnstown Plaza, Murdoch’s, Starbucks (two), and so so much more.
