Growing community full of ghost stories
Spooky Hollow Road in Lower Burrell, 24 miles from Pittsburgh, is said to be haunted by a headless man. A woman swore she felt ghostly hands on her back when living near Kinlock Mine, which closed in 1929 due to an explosion. In 1901, a family fled their home in the middle of the night because they saw a white spectre along Edgecliff Road. Lower Burrell is a small city that is mainly residential and has large, open green spaces. The city offers many things for locals to do, from telling ghost stories to bowling. Old towns like Lower Burrell, established in 1879, cannot avoid ghostly tales, which are likely to continue since Lower Burrell continues to grow. “After COVID, people wanted to get out and see some green grass,” says Janet Ryan, broker and owner of Century 21 American Heritage Realty. “So our community has continued to grow.”

Eateries off Leechburg Road
Residents enjoy pasta with mussels at Villa Ballanca, an Italian restaurant in a red-brick building along Leechburg Road. “Most of the people who work there are related,” says Ryan. “It’s very home-like and popular in the neighborhood.” Clark’s Diner offers a mom-and-pop breakfast joint with a vintage atmosphere from neon signs to checkered floors. For a night out, residents enjoy Burrell Inn, where they may sit on the patio and enjoy a drink with a steak salad or wings. A popular ice cream stand, Glen's Frozen Custard, serves ice cream and sandwiches. The strip mall off Leechburg Road has a Community Supermarket for groceries.
