McKeesport Townhome for Sale

McKeesport, wrapped by the Monongahela and Youghiogheny Rivers, is located 12 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. This Mon Valley community, once a thriving steel manufacturing hub, faced economic challenges in the 1970s and ‘80s, and still has some charred and damaged buildings from past disasters. However, a six-year development plan initiated in 2019 aims to revitalize the area. Homebuyers can find a variety of home styles, including cottages, traditional, American foursquare, Tudor Revival, bi-levels, and ranch-style homes. Renziehausen Park, a 205-acre recreational hub, features the Renzie Spray Ground, McKeesport Garden Club Rose Garden and Arboretum, McKeesport History and Heritage Center, and Lions Bandshell, along with a stocked lake, ball fields, sports courts, and a playground. McKee’s Point Marina on the Youghiogheny River offers a fishing pier and café. Trail systems like the Great Allegheny Passage and McKees Point Trail follow the rivers, providing scenic routes for walking and biking. The neighborhood hosts the International Village festival each July in Renzie Park, celebrating the city’s diverse cultures with live music, food booths, and educational sessions. Local dining includes the highly-rated Tillie’s Restaurant, known for its handmade pasta. Shopping options include ALDI, Rite Aid, Giant Eagle Supermarket, and Family Dollar, with additional retailers at Century III Plaza, 6 miles west. McKeesport is served by Pennsylvania Routes 148 and 48, connecting to U.S. Route 30, and Pittsburgh Regional Transit, with bus stops throughout the city. Pittsburgh International Airport is about 30 miles away.
