Jackson Township sits between city bustle and country calm

Convenient suburban living meets rural remove in Jackson Township. The northern Pittsburgh area's history dates to the early 1800s, with fields of undeveloped pastureland serving as a scenic relic of its past. The suburb sits square between busy central Pittsburgh and remote bucolic communities, providing homeowners the best of natural scenery and commercial accessibility.

Listings sell fast in this growing suburban housing market

Residential development is growing in this part of town, where buyers can find homes priced from $275,000 to $450,000. Toward the lower end, you can settle into an early 1900s home with historical character and lots of land – great for the buyer ready to remodel and personalize outdated finishes. Brand-new builds in sidewalk communities fetch higher sums, with updated layouts, farmhouse-style design motifs and turnkey appeal. Prices increase with the size of the home, and these turnkey listings go quickly, selling within a week or two on the market.
