Trafford balances small-town pace with big-city access. Set at the meeting point of Westmoreland County and Allegheny County, the borough hugs Turtle Creek and anchors the western terminus of the Westmoreland Heritage Trail, a favorite for biking and jogging. Neighbors gather at B‑Y Park’s pavilions and ballfields, while nearby Boyce Park adds skiing, tubing, and summer greenspace. With Pittsburgh around a half‑hour away and daily conveniences in Monroeville, residents enjoy short drives to work, shopping, and entertainment.
Families appreciate the Penn‑Trafford School District, known for rigorous academics, STEM offerings, and spirited athletics. Community life is strengthened by the Trafford Community Public Library’s programs, PTARC’s youth and adult recreation, and responsive services from Trafford Borough. Healthcare is close at Forbes Hospital in Monroeville. Housing choices range from early‑20th‑century homes on walkable streets to newer builds with yard space, often at price points that compare favorably with larger suburbs. Add in trail access, local youth sports, and an easy regional commute, and it’s clear why Trafford continues to attract both first‑time buyers and long‑time residents.
