Suburban Neighborhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania
Allegheny County 15132
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.
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.
Versailles is served by the McKeesport Area School District, so resident students can start school about 3 miles from home at Twin Rivers Elementary School, rated C on Niche. From there, they can attend Founders’ Hall Middle, also rated C on Niche, before graduating from McKeesport Area High, rated B-minus on Niche. This high school features vocational education curricula alongside its academic curriculum. These vocational/technical programs include cosmetology, culinary arts, auto mechanics and building construction.
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.
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.
UPMC McKeesport is Versailles’ nearest hospital, just between a 3- and 4-mile drive from the heart of the borough in McKeesport. North-south thoroughfare, Walnut Street, is one of the main modes of getting in and out of Versailles; it runs north to McKeesport and south to the Boston Bridge. Long Run Road is another main thoroughfare in Versailles; it intersects Walnut Street on the west side and turns into Jacks Run Road, providing a direct route to U.S. Highway 30. While Versailles is largely car-dependent, PRT bus stops can be found on Walnut Street.
