Why live in Windgap, a neighborhood in the West End
Windgap is a small, residential pocket in Pittsburgh’s West End. Quiet, suburban streets of single-family homes stem from Chartiers Avenue, winding up into woodsy hills and surrounding the updated playground at Chartiers Park. It has the look and feel of a settled bedroom community, all within easy driving and busing distance of restaurants, grocery stores and commuter hubs in downtown Pittsburgh.

Housing costs and how they compare to other parts of Pittsburgh
Depending on the street, people in Windgap might live in classic pre-war houses, midcentury raised ranch-style homes and Minimal Traditionals or classic colonials. While styles vary, houses are surrounded by small front and backyards. Narrow sidewalks line some blocks, especially close to Chartiers Avenue, but become spottier or disappear entirely on other side streets. Prices typically range from the lower $100,000s to the lower $200,000s. Fixer-uppers can go for less, and uncommon newer construction can reach the lower $300,000s.
“When I’m in Windgap, I’m thinking I’m in Sheraden. It’s small and kind of just borders the area,” says Michael Marsula, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Service who has specialized in Allegheny and Washington counties for more than five years. Despite their proximity, Windgap’s median single-family home price is in the upper $100,000s, which is more than the median sale price in Sheraden. That’s thanks in part to Windgap’s slightly newer housing. Prices are slightly higher than in the nearby West End neighborhoods of Crafton and Westwood.
