New Galilee is a rural and vibrant Pittsburgh community
Near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border is the small countryside town of New Galilee. Once known as an industrial and railroad hub, this rural Pittsburgh neighborhood is now a primarily residential community surrounded by wetlands and lush forests. But that’s not to say this community isn’t bustling. With an active community center that hosts dozens of events each year, New Galilee is “a quite vibrant little community,” says Chris Johnston, a Realtor at EXP Realty LLC. Johnston, who has been selling real estate in the area for more than five years.
Some houses in New Galilee are a century old
Along the hilly country roads of New Galilee are Colonial Revival, Foursquare, cottage, and ranch-style homes on plots of varying sizes. Many were built between 1900 and 1925. Single-family homes are popular here, but an occasional multi-family home could appear on the market. Older two-to-four bedroom homes needing some TLC can start at just $20,000, while newly renovated or partly renovated two- to three-bedroom homes can sell for more than $150,000.

New Galilee Community Park is a hiking spot and carnival ground
Outdoor recreation is plentiful in and around New Galilee. “The town has wetlands on the one side and a nearby game land… The amenities, if you’re into the outdoors, are great,” says Johnston. At the 19-acre New Galilee Community Park, residents can access a trail, lawn space, shaded pavilion and playground. Each summer, the park is transformed into a fairground for the New Galilee Carnival. The carnival has several free attractions and includes games, rides, food and live music. Residents can also walk through the woods along the Jordan Run stream, which runs through the center of town. Less than 2 miles north, residents can explore the 15-acre Big Beaver Borough Wetlands, where over 100 species of birds have been spotted.
