Conway’s rail yard roots remain in a close-knit community
Once home to the largest rail yard in the world, Conway is now a close-knit residential borough north of Pittsburgh. “It’s a small town where everyone knows each other, and people live there for many years,” says Marianne Hall, Realtor with Howard Hanna. The borough’s growth in the mid-20th century led to the construction of many split-level houses, which the suburb still showcases. In addition to the 1960s flair, Conway also has a variety of parks and laidback restaurants.
Midcentury homes with garages and yards line Conway streets
Located on the Ohio River, Conway is mostly composed of blocks lined with single-family houses. As a suburban community, the borough has many homes with attached garages and breathing room. “You can get a nice-sized yard there. Everyone takes care of their lawns,” Hall says. Driving down a street, you’ll see many well-kept garden beds decorated with trimmed bushes. From 1956 to 1980, Conway boasted the world’s largest rail yard, which allowed the community to expand rapidly during this period. That growth explains the popularity of midcentury home architecture in the borough. Prospective buyers can choose from styles like split-levels, bi-levels and ranch-style houses. Sales prices can range from $150,000 for a bi-level to $275,000 for a move-in ready split-level.
