Living in wooded hills east of Sewickley
Winding, forested connective roads between newer subdivisions and established side roads in the hills east of Sewickley make up Aleppo Township. “We’re basically made of three communities – the Masonic Village continued care retirement community, Sewickley Heights Manor and the people who have lived here a long time in older houses that we call the founders,” says Gwen Patterson, manager of Aleppo Township. “A lot of families have been here for several generations, and people make an effort to get to know the neighbors living down the street.” Attached to the broader Quaker Valley community through the highly rated public school system and nearby recreation and shopping hubs, Aleppo Township provides shady, spread-out suburban living with commuter perks like proximity to I-79 and downtown Pittsburgh.
A lot of rolling hills separate the houses in Aleppo Township.

Sewickley Heights Manor and older, wooded lots
Townhouses in the Sewickley Heights Manor community come up most often on the market, shadowed by larger early 2000s single-family homes built up pine-lined streets in The Ridge subdivision. Tudor-style townhouses built over garages in the 1970s and 80s sell for $200,000 to $400,000 depending on square footage while complementary single-family homes up the hill sell for $500,000 to $780,000. HOA fees range by unit size as well, and residents can expect to pay anywhere from $265 to $400 per month.
Outside The Manor, homes range from renovated 1870s farmhouses or new traditional custom homes hidden within forested acreages to early and mid-20th century designs like ranch-style homes and Cape Cods on grassy side streets or hidden behind roadside thickets. Smaller, older homes are most common, selling for $125,000 to $500,000 depending on upkeep and lot size, while new traditional and custom homes built on upward of an acre sell for $500,000 to $1.4 million. While the only sidewalks in the township are in the Masonic Village, subdivisions and side streets are typically quiet enough to walk the dog or let the kids ride bikes. Aleppo Township has a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10 compared to the national average of 4.
