Vanport is on the Ohio River
Historical architecture and waterfront living await in this peaceful outer borough. Vanport Township is one of northern Pittsburgh's rural river towns, separated from busier areas by the Ohio River's watery expanse. The old pottery port has held on to its historic charm, most prominently featured in its early 20th-century residences. “It’s a little ways out there, farther from the bustle of Pittsburgh,” says Michael Pohlot, Realtor at Janus Realty Advisors and regular local seller.

Beaver Valley Mall is an indoor shopping mall next door, packed with clothing stores. “Monaca is also nearby – another bigger town with restaurants and businesses,” Pohlot says.

Pittsburgh is accessible via Interstate 376
Interstate 376 is your way in and out of town, and Vanport locals have immediate access. Some locals ride all the way into downtown Pittsburgh for a day at the office, a 30-mile ride. “You can get to the city quickly from here,” Pohlot says. Non-driving residents can hop on a Beaver County bus at any of the stops lining 3rd Street for a car-free ride around town. Heritage Valley Beaver is among the area's major local employers and is just a few minutes away. Residents can also find work in the regional school systems and within the growing service industry. Welcome home to small-town living on the Ohio River in Vanport.
