Located in Allegheny County
Characterized by The Stacks, a landmark in the historic Steel Valley, West Homestead is a borough just south of Pittsburgh city limits, right across the Monongahela River from Hazelwood. Split between residential and commercial properties, folks here benefit from quiet suburban streets and easy access to shopping, dining and outdoor recreation.
The median year built for properties in West Homestead is 1930, so homebuyers can find residences built as early as 1899 and as late as the tail-end of the 1970s. Century-old Victorians and American Foursquares are primarily found on the borough’s northwest side, closer to the commercial areas on smaller lots. Multifamily properties are more popular as well on that end, often comprising large, boxy brick-faced buildings that have been divided up into units. The borough’s southeast side, branching off Fieldstone Drive, is home to midcentury charm that echoes through raised ranch-style homes, Colonial Revivals and bungalows. Driveways are also standard on this end of West Homestead. Overall list prices range from $37,000 to $263,000. “In general, in Pittsburgh, you got higher price neighborhoods,” says Kim Stotlemyer, a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. “Like average sales for single-family are around $200,000 to $250,000. Over here, just outside the city, you could be paying half as much and still get a very nice home.”
West Homestead is served by the Steel Valley School District. Local students can start close to home at Barrett Elementary School, which receives a C-plus grade from Niche, followed by Steel Valley Middle School, also rated C-plus. Steel Valley Senior High School, rated B-minus, offers extracurriculars ranging from marching band to world language club. Athletics include football, swimming, bowling, wrestling, golf and cross country.
In the summertime, Sandcastle Water Park is the place to be, and the view of the Monongahela River from the top of one of its tube slides is one of the best in the neighborhood. Folks can swim in the wave pool, dive into swimming pools or just float down the lazy river. West Homestead also features Calhoun Park, a year-round green space with picnic tables, swings and a ball field. Additionally, there are avenues for hiking and biking around the neighborhood. “The Great Allegheny Passage runs through West Homestead, Homestead and Munhall,” Stotlemyer says. “It’s part of a route that runs between Pittsburgh and Washington D.C., I think. It’s popular for hikers and bikers.” The Great Allegheny Passage is a 150-mile trail that runs from Pittsburgh, PA, to Cumberland, MD, where the adjoining C&O Canal Towpath allows bicyclists to extend their ride to D.C.
The Waterfront is a large outdoor shopping complex on the Monongahela River with well-known retailers like LOFT, Bath & Bodyworks, Carhartt and Burlington. Delectable eateries dapple this mall, including Fudge Farm, a small shop with a menu of sweets and cold treats. A Pittsburgh area chain, Burgatory, has a location at the Waterfront as well. This spot is a popular lunch and dinner hub thanks to its custom-creation menu, which lets folks build their dream burgers. Local moviegoers flock to the AMC Waterfront 22 for the latest flicks. Of course, shopping around the Waterfront isn’t just for leisure; Target and Giant Eagle Supermarket have locations around it, making the area convenient for running errands.
It’s less than a 10-mile commute from West Homestead to downtown Pittsburgh and a little more than 5 miles to the nearest airport, Allegheny County Airport. Access to Interstate 376 is about 4 miles due north, but there are numerous ways of getting downtown. Folks can easily avoid the highway during rush hour. As for carless commutes, PRT bus stops sit along Main Street.

New Homestead, a neighborhood just 8 miles from downtown Pittsburgh, gives folks a tranquil atmosphere with easy park and mall access. “It’s more of a generational neighborhood,” says Brett Chupinka, a Realtor with K&S Real Estate, who has lived in the Pittsburgh area his entire life. “People tend to move back here after going away for school.” Southwest of downtown, much of the area is open space with wooded areas sprinkled throughout, giving residents a peaceful suburban feel. “People are attracted here because of the affordability,” says Chupinka. “The area is also being renovated, specifically the homes.”<br><br>The neighborhood's diverse restaurant options include Babylon Restaurant and Bar, a family-owned Mediterranean eatery. There are also popular spots like the Primanti Brothers Restaurant and Bar. “It’s a local chain that Pittsburghers flock to,” Chupinka says. The Waterfront is a large mall complex on the Monongahela River with more food and retail choices like TJ Maxx and Target. “People go to the Waterfront for shops and restaurants. There’s a lot of convenience with everything it has to offer,” says Erin Musciano, a Realtor at Realty ONE Group Gold Standard, who has been selling homes in the area for nearly a decade. At Burgatory, diners can build their burger in a casual, hip atmosphere. For groceries, people visit Shop n’ Save on Buttermilk Hollow Road. <br><br>Pennsylvania Route 837 helps people reach work in downtown Pittsburgh, while commuters use the many bus stops along Mifflin Road. The Allegheny County Airport is 5 miles away, while Pittsburgh International Airport is 26 miles away.<br><br>The Homestead area holds an annual community day in August, where neighbors can enjoy music, food and other friendly fun. Residents can head 9 miles to the big city for exciting downtown visits. People often view the Golden Triangle on the Duquesne Incline or try out a new restaurant in Market Square. “I’m a hockey fan, so the Penguins game is where I go,” says Chupinka. People head to PPG Paints Arena for sports games and concerts. Nightlife spots can be found downtown at spots like The Yard, which has a DIY Bloody Mary bar or the Space Bar, which is next door. For outdoor adventure, Pittsburgh hallmark Kennywood, is an amusement park with rollercoasters. <br><br>The community offers larger lots than many other urban neighborhoods, giving people sizeable front and backyards.
