Peters Township Joins Mt. Lebanon as Home to Amigos Restaurant
August 5th, 2008 categories: Mt. Lebanon, New Developments, Peters Township
The former Bella Piatto restaurant on Route 19 in Peters Township (across from Donaldsons Crossroads) will become Amigos Restaurante & Cantina in September. It will be the second Amigos; the other one is in the Galleria of Mt. Lebanon. According to the owner, “there was a gap in the market for casual Mexican food that he believes has never been filled after a once-thriving Chi Chi’s location in Upper St. Clair closed a few years ago.” You can read more at the Pittsburgh Business Times.

Popularity of Peters Township
June 16th, 2008 categories: Buyers, New Developments, Peters Township
For those of you who don’t live in Peters Township but are considering a move there, you may want to take a look at the article “Peters Housing Market Stays Strong“ which appeared in Peters Township Magazine. It was written last year but highlights several of the community’s strengths that are still relevant for potential home buyers today.
New developments – some featuring custom-built, single-family homes, others boasting townhouses and quad units – dot the landscape. As the community grows, township planners are trying to maintain the rural character of the 19.5-square mile area by preserving its green spaces, wetlands and woodlands.
Luring buyers away from Allegheny County are the country charm of Peters Township, its close proximity to downtown Pittsburgh (it’s located just 15 miles outside of the city) and Washington County’s low taxes.

New Spot in Peters for Parched House Hunters
May 14th, 2008 categories: Buyers, New Developments, Peters Township
After spending all day with your real estate agent looking at houses, you get pretty thirsty, right? Well, if one of the communities you’re visiting is Peters Township, then you should take a break at a new pub in the area.
The Sharp Edge Brasserie, just off Route 19 on Gallery Drive (near Raddichio’s grocery store), is the fourth and largest Sharp Edge location. They claim to be “The Best Belgian Beer Bar in the USA” and its list of beer is pretty impressive.
So go ahead and quench your thirst so you can get back to finding your new home!

Downtown Living vs. the Suburbs
April 23rd, 2008 categories: Buyers, Dormont, Downtown Living, Mt. Lebanon, Peters Township, South Side, Upper St. Clair
There are some great benefits to living closer to downtown — proximity to food, entertainment and shopping, as well as access to the amazing cultural scene. There are also wonderful aspects of living in the suburbs, like owning a bit more land and having a larger house as well as enjoying community pools and having barbecues in the cul-de-sac.
Some people want to live downtown because they can walk to everything. But keep in mind there are suburbs that also are considered to be very “walkable.” If you’re looking for a house where you don’t have to get in your car every time you want a gallon of milk, then check out Walk Score.
You enter an address or zip code, and it finds the distance to the nearest grocery stores, post offices, restaurants, libraries, movie theaters and other useful destinations, and then assigns a score based on the walkability of your location.
Here are how 4 local areas rank at keeping you near the hustle and bustle:
-
Downtown – 86 out of 100
-
South Side – 80
-
Mt. Lebanon – 63
-
Dormont - 60
Upper St. Clair, I’m sorry to say, scored a 12. Peters Township wasn’t much better with 28. Walk Score is a great tool for anyone looking to find a home in a walkable neighborhood.
