Home to regional airport
Nixon is a city suburb in Butler County, located 26 miles north of Pittsburgh and home to the Pittsburgh-Butler Regional Airport. “It is a nice, quiet bedroom suburb of Pittsburgh,” says Geoff Smathers, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services with 30-plus years of experience in the market. “You get some fresh air and more space away from the city, with access to nice golf courses and the Pittsburgh-Butler Regional Airport.” Corey Weber of RE/MAX NEXT adds, “It’s super tiny — it only has a couple of streets.”
