Kathy Brandt :: Sewickley Realtor :: Pittsburgh Real Estate

The Borough of Sewickley, commercial and cultural center of the eleven townships and boroughs which comprise the Quaker Valley School District, sits 13 miles west of downtown Pittsburgh on the banks of the Ohio River.

The Sewickley Valley provides diversity of housing ranging from $40,000 condominiums to million dollar estates. There is a vibrant volunteer effort which adds to the richness of living in the community.

The vitality of the Sewickley area is immensely enriched by the school choices available: the Quaker Valley School District, one of three "digital" districts in Pennsylvania; the independent Sewickley Academy and St. James Parochial School. There are a multitude of pre-schools and learning support through Laughlin Center.

The Sewickley area is also home to Sweetwater Center for the Arts, the Sewickley YMCA, the Sewickley Public Library, the Sewickley Civic Garden Council, the Sewickley Valley Historical Society, the Quaker Valley Recreational Association, the Fern Hollow Nature Center and the Sewickley Valley Hospital.

The Sewickley area has churches of virtually every denomination which offer spiritual and social wellbeing to residents and non-residents alike.

The Sewickley community is fortunate to have parks and recreation opportunities within the bounds of the school district. However, with a twenty minute commute to the turnpike, or a twenty minute commute to downtown Pittsburgh, or a twenty minute commute to Pittsburgh International Airport, residents can avail themselves of cultural, recreational, educational and social opportunities within a larger community.
