Pine Township

North Hills Luxury Living with Top-Tier Schools

Pine Township represents the upper tier of Pittsburgh's North Hills residential market. Positioned between Wexford to the north and McCandless to the south, Pine is where the region's move-up and luxury buyers land when they're prioritizing new construction quality, large lots, and the North Allegheny School District in one package.

Builder activity in Pine has been consistent for two decades. Major developments like Pine Creek Estates, Bradford Woods, and communities along Route 228 offer new-construction homes from $450K to $900K+, with custom builds exceeding seven figures on acreage lots. Finishes and lot sizes here routinely exceed what's available in comparable Cranberry or Wexford communities at similar price points.

The North Allegheny School District connection is a critical driver. Pine Township feeds into NA at all levels, and buyer demand specifically targeting NA is highest in Pine compared to other district municipalities because the housing stock here best matches the lifestyle expectations of the district's demographic.

Appreciation in Pine has tracked above the regional average due to supply constraints — buildable land is increasingly limited — and continued demand from corporate relocatees and move-up buyers. If you're looking at Pine, expect well-qualified, often pre-approved competition.
