Top-rated North Allegheny School District within historic wilderness 18 miles from Pittsburgh

Home to the best school district in the Pittsburgh area and two Native American trails, Marshall Township, 18 miles from Pittsburgh, takes pride in its rural atmosphere. “You’ll see loads of deer and wild turkeys because there’s so much green space,” says Robin Taylor, Realtor with Coldwell Banker Estate LLC. The Venango Trail was formed by buffalo herds and used as a trade route by the native tribes of the area. Later, it served an integral role in the transfer of information during the French and Indian War. The second trail is Kuskusky Path, which passes through Marshall Elementary and Marshall Middle School, part of the A-plus rated North Allegheny School District. “The primary reason people move there is because of the North Allegheny School District,” says Taylor. “The school district is ranked number one in the area.” Accessibility is another driving force in the Marshall Township area. With easy access to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Thorn Hill Industrial Park, residents have a short commute to work and easy access to the rest of Pennsylvania. The CAP Index crime tracking database gives this neighborhood a 2 out of 10, with the national average being 4.

Single-family homes starting at $550,000

Homes with built-in two-car garages and long driveways sit on large, manicured lawns surrounded by maple and dogwood trees. “It’s very park-like,” says Taylor. “Where houses are not on top of each other.” Residential areas near the interstates and the industrial park have sidewalks, but those farther out do not. Homes in the area are in the Colonial Revival, Cape Cod and Tudor-inspired styles, ranging from $550,000 to $950,000. Newer builds are in the new historicism style with complex roof shapes and Craftsman-inspired elements. These homes have four to seven rooms and range from $1 million to over $2 million. “There are townhouses mixed in, too,” says Taylor. “So it’s not just high-end homes.” Townhouses in the area range from $350,000 to $450,000. Those close to the Thorn Hill Industrial Park, which houses many employers of North Allegheny County, range from $450,000 to $800,000.
