Fairywood sits on the far west side of Pittsburgh, bordered by Sheraden, Windgap, and Crafton Heights in Allegheny County. Its residential blocks are low-key and spacious, with quick connections to Downtown via Pittsburgh Regional Transit and the West Busway, plus easy routes to shopping and job centers to the west.
Weekends lean outdoorsy here. Larger green spaces nearby—like Sheraden Park’s ballfields and wooded hills—pair well with the riverfront miles of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, a favorite for cyclists and runners. For a bigger nature fix, the trails, shelters, and seasonal wave pool at Settlers Cabin Park are a short drive away. Book lovers head to the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh – Sheraden, a neighborhood hub for story times, classes, and quiet study.
Families are served by Pittsburgh Public Schools, with nearby Pittsburgh Langley K–8 offering a full slate of academics and after‑school activities. Private school options include Bishop Canevin High School, known for small classes, STEM programs, and strong arts and athletics. Daily life is pleasantly practical: off-street parking is common, commutes are manageable, and the airport, big-box retail, and regional employers are all within reach.
