Leetsdale is part historic, part industrial
Invest in riverside property near one of the region's most upscale and amenity-rich areas.

Leetsdale Borough is a small village; the east side features historical homes, while the west side is dominated by industrial parks, housing hundreds of businesses and manufacturing offices. "You're getting into a great school district at a lower cost here," says Ricki Paul, Realtor at Piatt Sotheby's International Realty and regular local seller.

Century-old homes dot Leetsdale’s hills
Leetsdale homes pack in tight on streets that climb steep grassy hillsides. Residents walk along narrow sidewalks that run past stepped entries leading to quaint, historic homes. These aren't cookie-cutter subdivisions of contemporary new builds with wide-open layouts. Charming brick Colonial Revivals, iconic American Foursquares and Craftsman cottages hitch to Leetsdale's mountainous land, many with views of the woodsy valleys in the distance. Prices range from $100,000 to $900,000, suiting a broad spectrum of buyers. At the lower end, you can buy an early 20th-century fixer-upper with a smaller layout, and a budget of $600,000 or more will buy something fully renovated with more living space. These character-rich designs with turnkey updates can drive a competitive market, and most listings find new owners within six weeks.
