A borough on the Youghiogheny River

Just 15 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, Versailles hugs a bend of the Youghiogheny River with century-old homes, peace and quiet. This borough is the epitome of small-town living, but it’s also within arm’s reach of the Pittsburgh area and all its attractions.

From Folk Victorian Revivals to ranch-style charmers

Lining the hilly streets of Versailles are historic century-old houses, some built as early as 1900. These properties display classic styles, including Colonial Revivals, American Foursquares and Folk Victorian Revivals. Quaint ranch-style homes, bungalows and split-level residences began cropping up throughout the 1950s, bringing midcentury charm to the community. Similar to many other riverside boroughs and townships in Mon Valley, lot sizes here are smaller — typically around or less than a tenth of an acre — so it’s not difficult to get to know one’s neighbors. List prices range between $48,000 and $130,000. The median single-family home price, $107,000, could afford a three-bedroom, one-bathroom house.

The Great Allegheny Passage

There are no parks in Versailles proper, but access to recreational amenities and the great outdoors isn’t far at all. Less than a mile outside the neighborhood, just across the bridge, Boston Memorial Ballfield is a good spot for practicing pitches. Tucked behind the park, residents can park and access the Great Allegheny Passage, a 150-mile trail that runs from Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Maryland. Pet-, bike- and hike-friendly, this trail is ideal for getting active. It’s also an entry point to the scenic forests of the Dead Man’s Hollow Conservation Area, which spans 450 acres with 8 miles of its own trails. More than 100 species of birds live in the trees of this verdant green space, making it a favorite for local birding communities.

Shopping between Walnut Avenue and Long Run Road

Typically, life in a small borough would mean folks have to venture to another area for day-to-day shopping, but this isn’t the case in Versailles. The borough’s shopping plaza sits at the intersection of Walnut Street and Long Run Road with an Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, Dollar Tree and other convenient stores. Several doctor’s offices are also located around this shopping strip. Farther up Walnut Street are more options for retail as well as tried-and-true eateries. Tillie’s Restaurant is a popular family-owned Italian spot with a menu of rich cuisine and a warm atmosphere that draws in customers throughout Mon Valley. Mellon’s Pub is a more low-key joint, home to cold pints and hearty portions. Residents can come here to play pool and enjoy a cold one.
