Mill history next to the Kiskiminetas River
Vandergrift once housed the largest sheet steel mill in the world, centered around a community designed to house workers and their families. This industrial town’s smart infrastructure continues to provide a comfortable, walkable environment for its residents. The curved sidewalk-lined streets move in conjunction with the steep contours of the region’s rolling hillsides. The Kiskiminetas River hugs this tiny town, a tributary of the great Allegheny that creates a quiet atmosphere.
Vandergrift is established inside of a U-shaped section of the Kiskiminetas River.
Vandergrift was founded in 1895 east of Pittsburgh, PA.

Low-cost cottages built before 1950
Classic two-story cottages with 20th-century roots pack in tight along Vandergrift’s narrow streets. People sit outside on their covered porches, waving to familiar faces, as many locals travel around town on foot. Home prices in Vandergrift fall far below the state average. Properties start around $40,000, which buys a simple two-bedroom that may need a little TLC. For $80,000 to $100,000, buyers can invest in a well-maintained three or four-bedroom with more recent updates. It’s tough to find anything built later than 1950 in Vandergrift, as new development has yet to puncture the area’s 20s and 30s foundations. These character-rich spots often come with cozy details like original wood flooring and elegant crown molding. Most listings find a new owner within a month of listing." A lot of these buyers are moving from somewhere else within the county," says Jon Masuga, Realtor at JEM Realty and frequent local seller.
Most homes in Vandergrift include a small front porch where you'll find residents relaxing.
