Pine Local 1.0 School 19.2 County 4.73 Total 24.93
McCandless 1.3 School 18 County 4.73 Total 24.03
Fox Chapel 2.5 School 18.63 County 4.73 Total 25.86

Median home values:

Pine $434K
McCandless $223K
Fox Chapel $666K

Wow, I didn't know Pine Twp was that expensive. Is that correct? I see there is one home for sale at $90K, so there must be some cheap places. Anyone know that area? Interesting.

It sounds right. Before the last approximately 20 to 30 years it was a very sparsely populated. Now, the majority of the housing stock is in the form of very expensive, very large new construction that has gone up in the past 20ish years. A lot of it is developments like the Heights of North Park, North Park Manor, and others where all the homes are $750K and up. Exactly ditto for Marshall Township.


There is still a certain percentage of older more modest houses that brings the median down to where it is. You probably don't have as much of that in Fox Chapel Borough, which is smaller and has a more uniform housing stock. McCandless is somewhat similar to Pine but has a much larger inventory of older, smaller and less expensive neighborhoods, especially in the portion south of Duncan Avenue. Franklin Park is a little more mixed between new and old but definitely has it's share of very expensive new developments.

Take a ride past the 11 million dollar Pine-Richland football stadium to Lake McLeod, million dollar homes are common. Before you hit Willee's bar turn right into a new plan and see a home like the one on Dahntahn Abby. I just wonder what these people do for a living.
