Small-town living in the Mon Valley
Carroll Township is a quiet community with residential subdivisions and rolling hills stretching into the horseshoe-shaped bend of the Monongahela River. It’s part of the Mon Valley, a region along the river that maintains a unique identity as the southern suburbs of Pittsburgh. “It’s almost like country living in a small-town city,” says Doreen Walters, a Realtor with Realty One Group Gold Standard and vice president of the Monongahela Area Chamber of Commerce. “We still have the parks and farm areas, but there are definitely a lot of activities to do.” The town offers proximity to some of the region’s most popular riverfront attractions, including the Monongahela Aquatorium and Beach Club Marina. “Carroll Township is right up over the hill from Monongahela. The river is a popular spot for boating, and the city has a cute little Main Street,” Walters says. “Monongahela, Carroll Township and New Eagle are all in the same category, and there’s a big sense of community here. It’s just a safe and affordable area to live.” In addition to its Mon Valley pride, the town has a central location less than 30 miles from Pittsburgh.
Carroll Township is a welcome change of scenery when you are tired of big city life.

The Monongahela Aquatorium hosts concerts on the water
The riverfront is about 2 miles from Carroll Township and is a popular spot for outdoor recreation. It boasts attractions such as the Monongahela Aquatorium, an outdoor amphitheater with bleachers and an L-shaped dock where residents can dock their boats while listening to live music. “We have concerts there every single weekend during the summer, and in October, we have a Witch Festival that brings thousands of people to town,” Walters says. Residents also gather at the Aquatorium for the Rockin' on the Mon RiverFest, a weekend-long music festival that highlights local bands. A bit further west is the Beach Club Marina. With more than 300 boat slips, it’s the largest marina on the Monongahela River.
Carroll Township is home to the Mon Valley Country Club and the Mon Valley YMCA. The MVCC has a semi-private 9-hole golf course, and the Mon Valley YMCA has recreational programs for all ages. YMCA members also have access to an indoor and outdoor pool. The 2,600-acre Mingo Creek County Park is less than 10 miles from town and is a four-season destination for outdoor recreation. It has several playgrounds and an extensive trail network with opportunities for hiking, biking and horseback riding. The creek itself is a popular spot for trout fishing. “There were people ice skating and playing hockey down on the frozen creek a couple of weeks ago,” Walters says.

Carroll Township has raised ranches and split-level homes
Most homes in Carroll Township were built around the mid-1900s. Residential subdivisions feature a mix of raised ranch, split-level and Cape Cod-style homes with a median lot size of nearly half an acre. Home prices typically range from $115,000 to $350,000, but larger Colonial Revival and custom-built properties can sell for anywhere from $375,000 to $500,000. Homes on the town’s outskirts tend to have larger lots with up to several acres of land. “It’s definitely affordable. Right down the road is Finleyville, which is closer to Pittsburgh. But I call it ‘Goldenville’ because it’s so much more expensive,” Walters says. The town’s overall CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

Local businesses and proximity to downtown Monongahela
Shops and restaurants are scattered throughout Carroll Township. Standouts include Cox Market, a small-town grocery store that’s been part of the community since 1949. The market highlights locally sourced products and is known for its homemade sausages, salads and prepared foods. There’s also a Giant Eagle Supermarket in the center of town along Pennsylvania Route 88.
The dining scene revolves around family-owned spots like Honey Bee Bakery and Pho Valley, a Vietnamese restaurant serving up steaming hot bowls of pho. In the northern half of town is Ripepi Winery & Vineyard. “You can go out there and drink your wine while looking out over the vineyard where they grow the grapes. We have outdoor events there all the time,” Walters says. For more shopping and dining, downtown Monongahela is 2 miles from Carroll Township. “There are a lot of little bakeries and delis right along Main Street. Lenzi’s Restaurant is a great place for homemade Italian,” Walters says. The Monongahela Area Chamber of Commerce also hosts community events downtown, including the bi-annual Fleatique on the Mon, an outdoor street market with antique vendors, food trucks and more.
