Suburban Neighborhood in Wexford, Pennsylvania
Allegheny County 15015, 15090
The borough of Bradford Woods, home to about 1,185 residents, takes pride in having a woodland environment appropriate for a quiet residential neighborhood. “People love it here because of the secluded, small-town feel,” says Rusti Null, Borough Manager of Bradford Woods. Dave McSwigan of Coldwell Banker Realty adds, “It’s a niche neighborhood that people gravitate to.”
Bradford Woods is a suburban area located north of Pittsburgh, where most residents choose to live in a tranquil setting as opposed to a busy commercial district. The 1-square-mile rural community is known for its unique architecture, thick forestry and quiet confines. “Bradford Woods has too many trees to count. Most of the homes are on wooded lots of at least one acre,” Null says. Many of the houses also have long driveways shaded by pine and maple trees for extra privacy. Deborah Platts of Coldwell Banker Realty, who has sold properties in the area for 30 years, says the neighborhood sprouted from what used to be summer homes for people who lived in Pittsburgh. About 98% of community structures are homes. As for architecture, prospective buyers can choose from contemporary homes, ranch-style homes, split-levels, colonial revivals and midcentury houses. Sales prices can range from $312,000 and $1.1 million. McSwigan says the homes are “far from being cookie-cutter.” He adds that most homes are either custom-built or renovated. The CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10, below the national average.
Students in Bradford Woods can attend schools in the North Allegheny School District. Niche named the school district the best in the Pittsburgh region and the system has an A-plus score. Bradford Woods Elementary School, Marshall Middle School and North Allegheny Senior High School all have A-plus ratings from Niche. Additionally, there are four colleges and universities near the community, including LaRoche College.
For outdoor time, the Reserve is a 4.5-acre park where visitors can hike around a lake. The largest park in the Pittsburgh region, North Park, is a 3,000-acre park with a 75-acre lake. The park has a dog park and several options, including archery, ice hockey and pickleball. The township neighbors State Game Lands Number 203 for hunting enthusiasts. Bradford Woods Reserve has a pond managed by the Bradford Woods Borough as part of a conservation easement. Trails encircle the pond, which is stocked for recreational fishing by neighborhood volunteers. There are also four other local parks residents can visit.
Groceries can be found at Market District Supermarket, which also has a pharmacy. The area also has more grocery shopping at an ALDI, Whole Foods and a Sheetz convenience store. For a night out, there are several options along Interstate 79 and Route 19, including Off the Hook, a seafood eatery and Thorn Hill Taphouse, known for its burgers. More shopping and eateries are available in Cranberry, a 5-mile trip.
Keeping the community tranquil and quiet, Bradford Woods doesn’t have many community events. For those interested in a lively celebration, nearby Marshall Township has a community day. The event includes kid-friendly activities like face painting and inflatables. People can also watch live music performances and fireworks to end the event with a bang. Marshall Township also has a few summer concerts where people gather to watch bands play. Additionally, there are a plethora of events in Pittsburgh, which is nearly 20 miles away. For downtown adventures, residents can visit PNC Park for a Pirates game or the Heinz History Center.
The CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10, below the national average.
