Sewickley Heights is 7.33 square miles of Allegheny County hilltop and 857 people, which makes it one of the wealthiest municipalities in Pennsylvania and in the country.

Coverage Detail

What We Cover in Sewickley Heights

Where we travel, what the property mix looks like, and what to tell us when you call.

Sewickley Heights is 7.33 square miles of hilltop holding 857 residents, and it is deliberately empty: the borough requires minimum lot sizes of five acres, and many parcels are far larger. There is no commercial district at all. Access is a sequence of long driveways behind stone fences that mark the boundaries of the original estates. Tell us the gate and the driveway name, not only the road.

Typical Properties

Estate houses and their dependencies. The grandest went up between 1902 and the 1930s: William Thaw’s As You Like It, the Henry Robinson Rea mansion, Farmhill which hosted Madame Curie in May 1921, and B. F. Jones’ 100-room Fairacres. Many were demolished and their lots subdivided from the 1950s, but the surviving houses, pool houses, and outbuildings each carry their own locks.

Access & Dispatch Notes

Long driveways, gates, and no street parking to speak of, so a visit has to be planned rather than improvised. Neighbourhoods here are named after the estates they were carved from, and the stone fences are original to those parcels, which makes them a reliable way to describe where you are. About 600 acres of the borough is parkland with hiking and horse-riding trails.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sewickley Heights FAQs

Quick answers for Sewickley Heights customers.

Why is Sewickley Heights so sparsely populated?

By design. The borough requires minimum lot sizes of five acres to preserve its country character, and many homes sit on substantially larger parcels, so 7.33 square miles holds only 857 people.

When did the estates start?

The character was set in 1902, when the Allegheny Country Club moved from Pittsburgh to its Sewickley Heights location. That accelerated settlement as a haven for wealthy Pittsburgh residents, and estates of hundreds of acres followed through the 1930s.

Which estates were here?

Among the grandest were As You Like It, the estate of the banker and shipper William Thaw; the Henry Robinson Rea mansion; Farmhill, which hosted Madame Curie in May 1921; and B. F. Jones’ 100-room mansion, Fairacres.

What happened to the big houses?

Many fell into disrepair in the 1950s and 1960s, and a great many of the original massive houses were demolished and their lots subdivided. What survives is often the estate layout rather than the house itself.

Why are the neighbourhoods named after things?

Because each one was carved from an estate. The clusters of homes on an estate parcel took its name, and the unique stone fences original to those estates still mark the boundaries.

Is there parkland in the borough?

Yes. In the 1960s and 1970s parcels were donated or purchased to form Sewickley Heights Borough Park, now about 600 acres and known regionally for hiking and horse-riding trails. The Fern Hollow Nature Center and the Sewickley Heights History Center share a 33-acre site.

Which municipalities border Sewickley Heights?

Five: Bell Acres to the north and north-west, Sewickley Hills to the east and north-east, Aleppo Township to the south, Sewickley to the south-west, and Edgeworth to the west. The borough itself was established in 1935.
