In 1802, a German aristocrat founded the town of Zelienople, named after his daughter Zelie. “It’s a charming small town and thriving. It's a popular area that offers a lot,” says Sue Malagise, Realtor with Howard Hanna Realty. This historical borough not only retains the architecture and quaint feel of its rich past but has expanded upon that legacy to include a walkable business district filled with restaurants and exciting community events.

The borough features a business district complete with shops and restaurants surrounded by blocks of single-family homes. Most feature medium-sized yards and a mix of detached and attached garages. “They have some older homes that are well built with a lot of character,” Malagise says. Prospective buyers can choose from brick Georgian houses featuring Doric columns, a move-in ready restored Victorian with intricate woodwork trim, folk Victorians with their simpler rectangular shape or opt for minimalist style bungalows. The average sales price here is $226,900, but price points range from the low $200,000s into the high $400,000s depending on their size.

Students in Zelienople attend the Seneca Valley School District, which earns an A rating on Niche for high-quality academics, college prep and teachers. The school district has robust fine arts and performing arts programs that garner award-winning student work, plus a one-to-one computing initiative for modern learning and digital access. Students can attend Connoquenessing Valley Elementary School, Ryan Gloyer Middle School and Seneca Valley High School.

Choose between a couple of green spaces to spend quality time outside the borough. The multi-purpose Zelienople Community Park offers a day of fun with endless activities, featuring a pool with a waterslide, a new skate park, a large playground and a half-shell ampitheater for live music. At the Canoe and Kayak Launch, enjoy paddling on Connoquenessing Creek, which is stocked with bass and surrounded by woodlands.

On Main Street, you’ll find places to eat for any occasion. “They have a lot of new restaurants and businesses. They’re renovating the town, which brought a lot of new business,” Malagise says. For a casual dining experience, ShuBrew offers a comfortable pub where you hang out with friends and enjoy live music on their rooftop. At Goodfello’s Pizza Pasta & Grill, a locally owned Italian joint, dine in a simple no-frills ambiance ideal for a meal shared with the family. Kaufman Tavern offers date night vibes with cocktails served at a marble bar and crystal chandeliers hanging overhead in this historic Italianate-style building.

There’s no shortage of community events to bring everyone together in Zelienople. “It’s a very walkable town with a lot going on.” At the revitalized Strand Theater, help continue the non-profit's community outreach, while enjoying their concert, film and theater programming. Or join in the fun at The Horse Trading Days celebration and share in the agricultural past with a cornhole tournament, dog show and hot dog eating contest. Locals also love the 4th of July Celebrations, which include a parade down Main Street, fireworks and live performances by the North Pittsburgh Philharmonic Orchestra.

Located only 28 miles from downtown Pittsburgh, the community of Zelienople’s location means residents can easily commute to the big city. For downtown adventures, head to Acrisure stadium for a Steelers game or The Andy Warhol Museum to browse the famous artists’ works.

Welcome to Zelienople, where you can enjoy the charm of a small town without missing out on a bustling business district of restaurants and lively community events.
