From midcentury to new construction
While there are many midcentury charmers in Ohio Township, there are even more properties that are newer, built between the late 1990s and 2020s. From simple, small ranch-style homes and bungalows to large Colonial Revivals and New Traditional tract houses, homebuyers have quite the assortment to peruse. Larger lots, typically around a half-acre, are the norm in Ohio Township, so there’s a good amount of green space between neighbors. That said, townhouses and other multi-family residences are the exceptions to this. Garages and driveways are also common features, meaning parking is rarely an issue along Ohio Townships’ sidewalk- and tree-lined streets. Overall list prices range from $305,000 to $1.1 million. The median cost of a single-family home is $499,950; this could afford a three-bedroom, three-bathroom property.
Ohio Township offers a variety of different styles of homes.

Mt Nebo Pointe and Ross Park Mall
Although residents have to leave the township to run errands like grocery shopping, they are not without options and ease. In fact, Mt Nebo Pointe is less than a mile outside the township and has convenient stores, such as Target and Sam’s Club. Ross Park Mall, a popular shopping destination in the greater Pittsburgh area, is nearby, too. And while there are delectable spots to dine at these shopping hubs, Ohio Township is home to a handful of tried-and-true eateries. Goodfellas Deli and Drafthouse is appreciated for its varied draft selection and is known for its homemade chips. Nicky’s Thai Kitchen has a location in the area and is a favorite small Pittsburgh chain. It has been consistently ranked by Pittsburgh Magazine as the best Thai spot in the city.

Ohio Township Community Day
Ohio Township has several events throughout the year that help bring the community together. The Ohio Township Community Day is held in the summer and features a parade, food trucks, and fireworks. The township also hosts an annual haunted trail for families at the community park during the Halloween season. All proceeds of the event go to a local charity.
I-279 and I-79
It’s a 12-mile drive from the heart of Ohio Township to downtown Pittsburgh, and it’s a simple route as well. Folks just need to hop on Interstate 279, which runs through the community’s east side. Conversely, Interstate 79 borders the west side and offers an alternate route into downtown.
