Popular local businesses and events 6 miles from Downtown Pittsburgh
The small residential borough of Sharpsburg, 6 miles from Downtown Pittsburgh, is easy to overlook. However, within the gridded streetscape, residents shop and dine at popular local businesses before attending bustling events hosted by the Sharpsburg Neighborhood Organization. “You’d miss it if you didn’t know it was there since it’s between two bridges,” says Kristin Chick, Realtor at Howard Hannah Real Estate Services. “But it has a lot going for it. Small as it is, there’s quite a bit of shopping and dining about Sharpsburg. There’s always something going on.” The legacy of homegrown businesses in Sharpsburg dates back to Henry J. Heinz, who bottled his first product in the area. While his house has since been moved to Greenfield Village in Michigan, his legacy continues through the collection of trendy eateries lining Main Street.
The Sharpsburg neighborhood is full of beautiful scenery and landscapes.

Local businesses on Main Street
Residents try burger patties sandwiched between fried ramen noodle cakes while sipping a craft beer from Dancing Gnome Brewery. Locals hitchhike across the galaxy while remaining seated at Hitchhiker Brewing Company as they sample brews featuring mango and passion fruit. Residents with a sweet tooth stop by Sugar Spell Scoops. “My personal favorite, the reason I go to Sharpsburg, is the vegan ice cream store, Sugar Spell Scoops,” says Chick. “My favorite flavor is mint chocolate chip.” The ice cream parlor makes its desserts from a small shop decorated with black and white walls and accented with lavender and electric blue. Hand-crafted espresso drinks serve as a morning pick-me-up from the local chain Redhawk Coffee Roasters. Thrift-store enthusiasts and toy collectors enjoy Second Harvest Thrift and D and E Collectables. ZYNKA Gallery displays contemporary art from artists outside and within Pittsburgh. Groceries may be purchased at nearby Market District Supermarket.
Sharpsburg residents can enjoy a meal from the Dancing Gnome.

Sharpsburg Neighborhood Organization
Locals listen to live music from Good Karma Band Pittsburgh as they explore the food trucks surrounding Kennedy Park during the Sharpsburg Fall Festival. Throughout the year, residents may participate in a community-wide yard sale, a bar crawl featuring local businesses and listen to hometown artists perform in Kennedy Park through the Sharpsburg Neighborhood Organization. Residents may attend religious services at St. Mary Church- Christ the King Parish, Alfatimiah of Pittsburgh, Korean Catholic Community Pittsburgh and others.
Single-family Foursquare row houses start at $90,000
Situated beside the Allegheny River, homes line sidewalks that meander through gently sloping streets shaded by maples and sycamores. Most homes in the area are Foursquare rowhouses with shallow porches ranging from $90,000 to $400,000 and multifamily homes ranging from $25,000 to $90,000. Most residents rent rather than own homes.
Large single family homes are available in Sharpsburg.

A-plus rated Fox Chapel Area School District
“Sharpsburg is part of the Fox Chapel School District,” says Chick. “That is a driving force for why people move here.” The Fox Chapel Area School District has an A-plus rating from Niche and is listed as one of the best school districts in Pennsylvania. Children may attend Kerr Elementary School and Dorseyville Middle School, and then advance to Fox Chapel Area High School, which is ranked as the third-best public high school in the Pittsburgh area. All three schools receive A-plus ratings.
Students in Blawnox can attend Dorseyville Middle School.
Fox Chapel Area High School is home of the Foxes.

Indoor and outdoor recreation in Sharpsburg
Residents may launch their kayaks or go fishing at the James Sharp Landing on summer days. Children enjoy the multi-colored play structure at Marion Gerardi Memorial Park while adults relax at the covered picnic tables. Basketball players test out the new hardwood floors at the Linden Gym in the Sharpsburg Recreation Center.
Marion Gerardi Memorial Park is a great place for Sharpsburg residents to get out and enjoy play

Commuters use Route 28 and Route 8
Route 28 and Route 8 surround the borough, and the two bridges that border the area make car-dependent Sharpsburg a convenient place for commuters. Due to the area’s size, restaurants, events and other neighborhood amenities are accessible on foot. Bus stops line Main Street for residents who wish to use public transportation.
Important to know
Flooding during storms and heavy rainfall is expected in parts of Pittsburgh. Sharpsburg borders the Allegheny River, and flooding is inevitable. This, however, does not deter residents from enjoying all Sharpsburg has to offer. “It’s not terrible,” says Chick. “We did have some really treacherous rain that had a major impact on a lot of areas in Pittsburgh. People who have been living here a very long time have different systems to deal with this, like French drains.” Being so close to the highway is another concern, but newly erected noise barriers make the roadway background noise.
