If you're considering moving to Pittsburgh's North Hills, there's a good chance Pine Township has already shown up in your search.
And for good reason.
But there's a difference between asking, "Is Pine Township a good place to live?" and asking, "Is Pine Township the right place for me to buy a house?"
That's the question I want buyers to answer.
Pine Township offers an attractive combination of established neighborhoods, newer construction, larger homes, convenient access to shopping and services, and the Pine-Richland School District.
But buying here isn't simply about finding a house you like.
What should buyers know about Pine Township?
Inventory, location, condition, lot characteristics, taxes and neighborhood all matter.
Two homes that look similar online can represent very different buying opportunities.
That's where my construction background comes into play.
I've walked construction sites and evaluated homes for decades. When I'm looking at a property with a buyer, I'm not just looking at countertops and paint colors.
I'm looking at the things that are much harder—and more expensive—to change.
How does the lot drain? How old are the major systems? What renovations have been completed? Were they completed well? What might this house need five or ten years from now?
Is Pine Township worth the higher home prices?
For the right buyer, absolutely.
But I don't believe in telling every buyer they need to live in one particular community.
Pine Township should be compared with communities including Franklin Park, Marshall Township, Cranberry Township and other North Hills locations based on your budget, commute, lifestyle and housing priorities.
Knowledge Starts with Knowing®.
Before you decide where to buy, understand what you're actually buying—and why.
