Winding, forested connective roads between newer subdivisions and established side roads in the hills east of Sewickley make up Aleppo Township. “We’re basically made of three communities – the Masonic Village continued care retirement community, Sewickley Heights Manor and the people who have lived here a long time in older houses that we call the founders,” says Gwen Patterson, manager of Aleppo Township. “A lot of families have been here for several generations, and people make an effort to get to know the neighbors living down the street.” Attached to the broader Quaker Valley community through the highly rated public school system and nearby recreation and shopping hubs, Aleppo Township provides shady, spread-out suburban living with commuter perks like proximity to I-79 and downtown Pittsburgh.

Sewickley Heights Manor and older, wooded lots
Townhouses in the Sewickley Heights Manor community come up most often on the market, shadowed by larger early 2000s single-family homes built up pine-lined streets in The Ridge subdivision. Tudor-style townhouses built over garages in the 1970s and 80s sell for $200,000 to $400,000 depending on square footage while complementary single-family homes up the hill sell for $500,000 to $780,000. HOA fees range by unit size as well, and residents can expect to pay anywhere from $265 to $400 per month.
Outside The Manor, homes range from renovated 1870s farmhouses or new traditional custom homes hidden within forested acreages to early and mid-20th century designs like ranch-style homes and Cape Cods on grassy side streets or hidden behind roadside thickets. Smaller, older homes are most common, selling for $125,000 to $500,000 depending on upkeep and lot size, while new traditional and custom homes built on upward of an acre sell for $500,000 to $1.4 million. While the only sidewalks in the township are in the Masonic Village, subdivisions and side streets are typically quiet enough to walk the dog or let the kids ride bikes. Aleppo Township has a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10 compared to the national average of 4.

Residents can attend services in the intimate, amber-toned chapel of St. Mary Church off Glenfield Road. Commuters have a 15-mile drive into downtown Pittsburgh via Interstate 279, and those heading toward Cranberry or Washington can merge onto I-79 which cuts through the western edge of the township.

Shopping and dining in Sewickley or Ohio Township
Just west of Aleppo Township, Sewickley provides a hub of boutique retail and diverse dining options on the blocks surrounding Beaver Street. Residents can pull into a spot along Broad Street and walk to the green-roofed Sewickley Public Library, stop for a coffee and French fare at Cafe Des Amis Sewickley or pop into Rite Aid for prescriptions and essentials, all within a quarter mile of each other. “We’re able to head into Sewickley or out to Ohio Township for more shopping. You can find all that stuff you need within a few miles,” Patterson says. For major grocery trips and home improvement needs, the hilltop Giant Eagle and Home Depot are about 7 miles east, a short drive away from the Mt Nebo Pointe Target and Sam’s Club.

HOA amenities and Fern Hollow Nature Center
The Sewickley Heights Manor Homes Association maintains amenities like outdoor tennis courts, a playground and a swimming pool open during the warmer months, with an additional tennis court and basketball court sitting closer to The Ridge. Across from the community’s entry road, Fern Hollow Nature Center is known for hosting summer camps, guided nature walks and a lively fall music festival on their sprawling grounds. Outside of scheduled programming, locals can walk paths through grassy meadows and pockets of forest, check for ripe fruit in the berry patch or rotate through educational play stations in the outdoor classroom.

Annual Earth Day Cleanup
Maintaining Aleppo Township's natural beauty is a priority for many locals, leading them to participate in the Earth Day Clean Up each April 20th. Following a quick breakfast and meet-up at the Township Building, volunteers head out, collecting several truck beds’ worth of debris from township roadsides. “We have a nice group of dedicated core volunteers who show up every year, but people who are busy one year can show up the next,” Patterson says.
