Castle Shannon has small-town vibes south of Pittsburgh
Castle Shannon lies about 7 miles south of Pittsburgh but feels further to the community’s roughly 8,000 residents. “It’s definitely a suburban area, with a lot of small businesses in and around the neighborhood,” says Rachel Geraci, a real estate professional with Re/Max 360 Realty, who grew up in the area. “It’s a close-knit community; it has small-town vibes.” This is a great place for commuters, with two rail lines leading into the city and access to major roadways. But despite this urban accessibility, Gerasi says, “Castle Shannon is so small that everybody knows each other – it feels a lot further out than it is.”

Lots of transit options to reach Pittsburgh
Castle Shannon is about 7 miles south of downtown Pittsburgh, and locals can get there using the light rail commuter train, which locals call the “T.” It connects residents to the city and other surrounding areas via the red and blue lines. “That’s one of the main draws of living there,” says Geraci. “There are an abundance of key stops in the neighborhood. It’s a great place to live if you work downtown.” There’s also a park-and-ride lot at the station for commuters and a Pittsburg Regional Transit bus stop on Library Road, the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare. There are more bus stops on nearby Baptist and Weyman roads. It’s a roughly 6-mile drive to Interstate 79, and the Pittsburgh International Airport is about 20 miles west.
The PRT light rail system runs right through the neighborhood of Castle Shannon.

Relatively affordable homes on hilly roads
Castle Shannon has some of the steepest streets in the Pittsburgh area, and homes sit on winding roads along the neighborhood’s hills. To accommodate the landscape, many feature attached garages beneath first-floor living areas. Common housing styles include American Foursquares, Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes, and homebuyers can find larger properties here than in nearby areas. “You’re going to have more of a yard,” Geraci says. Prices typically range from $150,000 to $350,000, depending on the property’s size, age and condition. Townhouses and duplexes are also available and typically fall within the same price range. “It’s a really affordable neighborhood compared to nearby communities,” Geraci says. “It’s great for first-time homebuyers – if you can find a home. The one problem is that inventory is low.”

They can graduate from Keystone Oaks High School, which gets a B from Niche and offers 16 varsity athletic programs and more than 20 clubs. The neighborhood has two Catholic schools: Saint Anne School, a grade school, and South Hills Catholic Academy, a high school. Niche does not grade them.

Indoor and outdoor recreation options brings community together
The Ice Castle Arena is a popular recreation hub in the area with two indoor ice rinks, an arcade, and fitness and gymnastics facilities. “It’s a great venue for family fun. A lot of young kids have always hung out there,” Geraci says. “It’s also one of the only skating rinks around, so people will come to Castle Shannon just for that.” Hockey teams compete on the ice, while families and first dates circle the rink for fun. Just north of Castle Shannon, golfers tee off at the 9-hole Mt. Lebanon Golf Course, where more than 25,000 games are played each year. Nearby Hamilton Park is a great place to get active, offering two playgrounds, sports facilities and picnic pavilions with full kitchens and barbecue grills. The park also hosts many events throughout the year, including Community Day, a festivity filled with live music, food and games. The evening ends with fireworks. The Castle Shannon Library on Myrtle Avenue also hosts events, from chair yoga and bead workshops to writing cafes and book discussions.

Local eats near train station
Near the train station and tracks is a cluster of local dining options. Anthos Bakery & Café, a recently established eatery known for its Greek delicacies, is a neighborhood go-to. “It’s always packed anytime you go in. There’s usually a line out the door,” Geraci says. Nearby Chimera Brewing Company is popular on the weekends and during happy hour, and patrons sip house brews and dine on casual American fare. To eat at home, there’s a Shop ‘n Save grocery store on Castle Shannon Boulevard.
