The North Hills of Pittsburgh

The North Hills is the band of suburbs north of Pittsburgh spanning northern Allegheny County and southern Butler County — including Cheswick, Gibsonia, Wexford, Allison Park, Glenshaw, Sewickley area, Springdale, Verona, and neighboring communities. It is defined less by a single municipal boundary than by its school districts (North Allegheny, Pine-Richland, Seneca Valley, Hampton, Shaler, Quaker Valley, Mars Area) and the I-79 / I-279 / Route 19 commuter corridors.

Across the trailing 24 months our MLS sold records show 2,778 closed sales region-wide with a median sold price of $460,000 (about $219/sqft). The last 12 months alone: 1,901 sales at a $449,000 median. By area, medians run from the mid-$300s (McCandless/Ross) to $565K+ (Mars/Adams Township), with Wexford at $525,000 and Cranberry Township at $477,500.

The Thurber Team publishes a monthly North Hills market report built directly from MLS closed-sale records — no scraped estimates. The current report (updated 2026-09-01) covers 2,778 sales across every North Hills submarket, and the same dataset powers the instant home valuation on teamthurber.com, which is backtested to about 10% median error against real closed prices.

School district is the usual driver: Pine Township and Marshall Township (Pine-Richland and North Allegheny SDs), Franklin Park (North Allegheny), Cranberry Township (Seneca Valley, with Butler County taxes), Allison Park (Hampton SD, North Park access), and Sewickley (Quaker Valley) lead most family searches. Each guide on this site breaks down lot sizes, price bands, and commute reality.

The Thurber Team (Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices) has served the North Hills for 20+ years with 220+ closed sales totaling $85.7M, an 11-day average to offer, and a 99.4% list-to-sale ratio. First-time buyers get the same data-first process as luxury clients: district-level search strategy, real comp analysis on every offer, and no buyer-side cost in a standard transaction.
