The Sewickley Location Advantage
Sewickley Borough is one of the few Pittsburgh-area suburban communities where you can walk to dinner. The borough's walkable main street has restaurants, a hardware store, coffee shops, and specialty retailers — the kind of urban-suburban mix that's rare in the Pittsburgh metro. UPMC Sewickley Hospital is minutes away. Pittsburgh International Airport is roughly 15–20 minutes west on Route 65.
If location in Sewickley proper (or close proximity) is what's drawing you to this community, it's worth knowing that Traditions of America at Sewickley Ridge — a 241-home built-out resale community — sits in the same general area and has an established community track record. Comparing an active new construction community against an established resale market is a meaningful part of the decision.
