Major highways and quiet subdivisions north of Pittsburgh
Established in 1804 and undergoing explosive development toward the end of the 20th century, Cranberry Township is better known for flourishing suburbs and destination shopping than the cranberry vines that once carpeted its waterways. “When you talk to folks around the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania about managing growth sustainably, Cranberry’s known for that,” says Dan Santoro, Cranberry Township’s Manager who has worked for the municipality since the 90s. “With that growth comes assets and amenities, the world-class parks that we built along the way – it’s a great place to live.” Cranberry Township’s ever-growing green spaces, commercial centers and public school amenities nurture modern suburbia 22 miles north of downtown Pittsburgh.

Sprawling subdivisions of single-family homes and townhouses
While homebuyers can find the odd 19th century farmhouse and far-flung acreage, Cranberry Township is best known for its many cul-de-sac subdivisions. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s take classic single-family forms including ranch-style homes and bi-levels, selling for $200,000 to $500,000. New Traditional homes with upward of four bedrooms became dominant in the 1990s through 2020s, selling for $370,000 to $1.7 million depending on square footage, lot size and age of construction. Townhouses in dozens of styles sell for $170,000 to $600,0000 depending on age and luxury levels.
Many subdivisions are lined by narrow sidewalks, taking joggers and dog walkers on hilly routes past grassy lawns, maturing trees and shrub-planted gardening beds. Some residents opt out of communities with HOAs while others pay monthly fees, adhere to property rules and enjoy amenities like private parks and sports courts in neighborhoods like Autumn Hill and The Woodlands.

Parks, Cranberry Township Pickleball Association and UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex
Sprawling community parks are strewn with walking trails, athletic fields, playgrounds and more unique amenities throughout the township, including North Boundary Park, known for its public pool and waterslides, and Cranberry Township Community Park, home to an off-leash area for puppy playdates. The 19 dedicated courts and 10 convertible courts at Graham Park’s UPMC Passavant Sportsplex cater to nearly 2,000 Cranberry Township Pickleball Association members. “We have one of the biggest pickleball associations in the northeast,” Santoro says. Golfers hit the green at the public Cranberry Highlands Golf Course. Hockey fans can catch a glimpse of a Pittsburgh Penguins practice or take to the ice themselves during league games and free skates at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex.

Shopping and dining along Route 19 and Route 228
Between big-box stores and strip malls packed with retailers and restaurants, there isn’t much the Route 19 and Route 228 commercial corridor doesn’t have. Across from UPMC Passavant Cranberry, shoppers pick up groceries at Giant Eagle and ALDI or look for deals at HomeGoods and ULTA in the Cranberry Mall shopping plaza. Parking lots outside Costco, Target and Walmart are packed throughout the day.
Alongside drive-throughs and national chains, regulars head to casual local chains like North Park Lounge and Primanti Bros. Foodies can choose between dozens of cuisines and dining experiences, including aquarium-side Chinese meals at Chen’s and fusion Mexican fare served alongside playful retrofuturistic murals of Cranberry’s upcoming space age at Condado Tacos. Several churches throughout the township hold religious services. Cranberry Township has a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10 compared to the national average of 4.
At Streets of Cranberry, Condado servers delicious tacos and drinks.

Major highway intersections and Pittsburgh commuting
Looping overpasses and merge points connect Interstate-79, the Pennsylvania Turnpike and routes 19 and 228 within Cranberry Township. “We're a regional economic center. More people commute into Cranberry every day than leave to work outside the township,” Santoro says. Pittsburgh commuters can merge onto I-79 toward Interstate-279 for a 22-mile drive downtown.
CTCC Community Days and Cranberry CUP Tournaments
While the township throws events throughout the year, the annual carnival, car cruise and concert series at CTCC Community Days each July are among the most anticipated. “We’ll push 70,000 people through the celebration in three days, and it ends in a fireworks display,” Santoro says. Also during the summer, the annual Cranberry CUP pits neighborhood associations and business sponsors against each other in a series of friendly athletic tournaments to raise money for local families experiencing financial hardship.
Planning around traffic
Roadways in Cranberry Township get backed up during peak hours in the morning and evening. “The township has been working on traffic management for 20-plus years,” Santoro says. “We use an intelligent management system that automatically adjusts to move traffic as efficiently as possible.” Commuters know to expect the worst of traffic around the Route 19 and Route 228 intersection and to plan around rush hour congestion on I-79 toward I-279.

This bustling suburb has everything! When I lived there, I was able to walk to Shop n Save. The school district that I went to was rather large, so you weren't able to get one on one help, but the teachers were nice.

I really don't like this area. Residents here seem like pompous Republicans who think the economy is more important than the environment, probably voted for Donald Trump, and drive their fancy SUVs/trucks literally everywhere. Some of the stores and restaurants are nice, if they're not busy. Don't live here.
