Pieces of Pittsburgh’s history live on in Wilmerding

“Wilmerding borough is a small town with historic places like the Westinghouse Building,” says Sara Leitera, Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway. A Pittsburgh landmark, the Westinghouse Air Brake Company General Office Building served as an office from 1890 and later became a museum. Known to locals as "The Castle," the building features iconic Romanesque and Renaissance Revival architectural elements that underwent a 2022 renovation and are a treasured part of Pittsburgh's history. From around the Westinghouse Air Brake Company, the Wilmerding community formed, and the borough still celebrates its origin with George Westinghouse Days, a yearly festival.

A wide variety of historic architecture is in Wilmerding

Located on Turtle Creek and next to the Turtle Creek Borough, Wilmerding is designed in a grid structure. The homes tend to have on-street parking, sidewalks and medium-sized yards. American Foursquares feature front porches, dormers and brick exteriors for costs ranging between $70,000 and $100,000. On the other hand, compact bungalows may have vinyl and red brick exteriors for $50,000 to $60,000. Pastel-painted Victorians with wraparound porches may be valued at over $100,000. Wilmerding’s median list price is just under $80,000, almost exactly the same as that of nearby neighborhood Turtle Creek, likely due to the two areas’ comparable distances to downtown Pittsburgh and similar housing styles.
