Munhall offers recreation and shopping in an active community

Munhall, set 7 miles outside Pittsburgh along the Monongahela River, takes its motto of "honoring the past, celebrating the present, and welcoming the future" seriously. This Allegheny County borough's 20th-century homes line hilly streets. Locally owned businesses breathe life into its downtown district and a modern shopping mall spans its northern quadrant. But these are just a few features that set this Pittsburgh suburb apart. Its vast recreational offerings and highly active community organizations also make the area shine. "It is a place where people are very willing to help each other," says Emily Kubincanek, program coordinator for The Carnegie Library of Homestead. "There are a lot of great resources for families and kids."

Home built to serve steel industry workers

Many of the modest 19th- and 20th-century homes here were initially built to house steel mill workers. While constructed with a singular purpose, the houses range in style, with American Foursquares, Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals, craftsman bungalows, Dutch Colonial Revivals and Tudor Revivals dotting the landscape. The homes also range in condition, with fixer-uppers starting below $20,000 and well-maintained or updated dwellings going for over $320,000. Townhouses range from $55,000 to $125,000.

Recreation at JFK Park, Homestead Frick Park

Munhall residents can choose from outdoor spaces, including John F. Kennedy Park, where paved walking paths run through rolling hills centered around a small memorial plaza. It's regularly used for community events like the annual town Easter egg hunt. Homestead Frick Park is another popular amenity that includes a fenced-in playground and lawn space dotted with American Beech trees. For a more hands-on activity, residents can tend to beds of fresh produce and blooms in the Amity Harvest Garden on the north end of town. The Homestead Cemetery is also a large presence in the community, housing the graves of over 10,000 people. For a time, the graveyard fell into disrepair until locals banded together to try to maintain it. It was recently purchased by the Homestead Cemetery Company, which is working to restore it.

Main Street Market Nights, Carnegie Library events

Munhall C.A.R.E.S. is a neighborhood organization working to enrich the community through service and events, such as regular clean-up days and seasonal Main Street Market Nights. The Carnegie Library of Homestead also regularly hosts events, like comedy nights in its music hall and ghost tours throughout the castle-like structure. "[The library is] turning 125 years old this year and has been a big part of the community," says Kubincanek. It has served the community for over a century, offering residents access to thousands of books and resources, an indoor swimming pool and an exercise facility. Munhall is also about 3 miles from the Kennywood amusement park, which hosts a Phantom Fright Night in the fall, filling the space with haunted houses and actors dressed as creatures of the night.
