History
Sewickley Heights is a borough on the northern shore of the Ohio River tucked into a diverse landscape known regionally for its hiking and bridle paths. About fifteen miles west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Sewickley Heights was once the haven for wealthy businessmen from the city. The 1920s and 30s saw the heyday of this exclusive area, with lavish cottages dotting hilltops separated by huge, picturesque tracts of woods and fields. Since then, many of the original estates have been subdivided; the mansions have been demolished, leaving an abundance of nostalgic walls, gates, gatehouses, and outbuildings reminiscent of an earlier era. Traditions and memories have been established in this storied place that inspire the Borough and its residents. READ MORE
Today
Today, Sewickley Heights is one of the most desirable communities in the region, and it continues to attract new residents, many of whom wish to construct new homes. This trend is likely to continue as the community grows in popularity. Sewickley Heights is a unique place. Elements of the cultural landscape include scenic landscapes such as meadows, pastures, and tree rows and historic artifacts such as rock walls, pillars, and fences. The cultural landscape in Sewickley Heights, as well as the historic structures, formed the basis for the 1989 decision by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission to grant Historic District Status to a significant portion of the Borough. Today you can see old and new come together in a rich and beautiful setting to make Sewickley Heights what it is today.
