An established suburb in the North Hills
In the North Hills of Pittsburgh, Glenshaw is an established suburb where mature trees and flowering shrubs sit on manicured lawns. While the community stretches across several townships, most residents live in Shaler Township and have access to its highly rated schools, green spaces and community events. “In Glenshaw, you’re going to have lots of parks and nicer yards where you get a little bit more for your money,” says Jennifer Rausch, an associate broker with Compass and lifelong resident of Shaler Township. “The location also really catches people’s attention. It’s convenient to the McKnight Road corridor and the city of Pittsburgh. You can be there in 10 to 15 minutes maximum and go to the Steelers or Pirates games and all of that good stuff.” In the heart of the North Hills, Glenshaw offers suburban living with proximity to shopping, dining and Pittsburgh, less than 10 miles away.
