Leetsdale is an old mill town on the western fringes of Allegheny County, along the Ohio River, and directly bordering the Beaver County borough of Ambridge. It was first incorporated in 1904, serving as a company town for Bethlehem Steel, which formerly had a mill by the riverside. The mill closed during the 1970s, with the former site now occupied by Leetsdale Industrial Park, which contains a mixture of light industrial, logistics, and some office and commercial usage.

The total population of the borough at its peak was only 2,700, and it is less than 1,200 today. Most of the housing stock is modest early 20th century mill style housing. There are a few areas bordering tony Edgeworth which are more suburban in style.

Leetsdale is part of Quaker Valley School District - along with all of "greater Sewickley." Indeed, Quaker Valley High School is within borough limits. If someone wanted to attend Quaker Valley schools on the cheap, it would be a good location to buy a home. However, due to the distance from downtown it is not the most sensible place to live if you desire a quick commute into the city.

I agree, Leetsdale is great if you want your children to attend Quaker Valley, and you are priced out of Sewickley, Edgeworth, etc. Quaker Valley will be building a new high school at a different location. The Future QVHS | The plan for, and progress of, the new Quaker Valley High School. I do not know what they plan on doing with the current high school. Leetsdale also has an amazing Mexican restaurant, Azul.
