Pittsburgh International Airport and Robert Morris University, 17 miles from Pittsburgh
Named after the curvature of the Ohio River, Moon Township, 17 miles from Pittsburgh, houses an international airport and nationally-ranked Robert Morris University. “It has a university, but it doesn’t feel like a college town,” says Lisa Bossong, Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. “Students tend to stay there after college. I notice people started with their first home there and then stayed in the same place.” Moon Township was once rural farmland until the completion of the Pittsburgh International Airport and the Penn Lincoln Parkway, causing a population boom in the 1950s. Now, Moon Township cares for its over 27,000 residents through the annual dedication of funds to improve roads and public facilities. Visitors to the area will know where they are by the astronaut statue awaiting them at Moon Park.
Moon Township borders the Pittsburgh International Airport, convenient for frequent flyers.
Yards in Moon Township are comfortably sized and give neighbors plenty of space.

A restaurant passed through generations
Keeping with the space theme, residents enjoy Italian fare at Armstrong’s and sandwiches at Pittsburgh chain Primani Bros. Restaurant and Bar. A commercial area along University Boulevard connects the Pittsburgh International Airport and Robert Morris University. The boulevard cuts through the town center, and most residents have a walk or a short drive to reach popular eateries such as Chipotle or groceries at ALDI in University Square. Off the beaten path, residents can dine on elk and charcuterie at Hydeholde castle, a French-American restaurant. The castle was built by the hands of William Kryskill and his wife, Clara, with later additions by their daughter, Barbara and her husband, Quentin.

I-376 and I-79
For some, living near an airport may translate to nonstop noise. Residents find that planes can only be heard when near the airport. “At the top of University Boulevard, in the path of the planes, it can get pretty loud,” says Bossong. “Further down University Boulevard, you don’t notice.” Moon Township is car-dependent and bordered by Route 51, Interstate 376 and near Interstate 79. Residents may catch a bus to Downtown Pittsburgh through the University Boulevard Park and Ride for public transportation.
I-79 is a highway often used for quick routes in and out of Moon Township.
