More About North Huntingdon
Living in North Huntingdon offers a balanced “rural-suburban” lifestyle without the high price tag of the city. While it maintains a quiet, spread-out feel with lower property taxes than neighboring Allegheny County, residents enjoy quick access to Pittsburgh via Route 30 and the Turnpike, making it an ideal place to live. The combination of a stable housing market, scenic rolling hills, and a 30-minute commute to downtown makes it one of the most desirable suburbs in Western Pennsylvania.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is North Huntingdon, and what is the "vibe" like?
Located in Westmoreland County, it’s often called the “Gateway to Westmoreland.” It sits right on the border of Allegheny County, about 30 minutes east of Downtown Pittsburgh. The vibe is “rural-suburban”—you’ll find housing developments and big-box shopping along Route 30, but you’re never more than five minutes from rolling hills, horse farms, and quiet woods.
Is North Huntingdon a safe place to live?
In 2025, North Huntingdon was named the safest small town in Pennsylvania and ranked 14th safest nationwide by MoneyGeek. It has an exceptionally low crime rate per capita, making it a primary choice for families and retirees.
How are the schools?
The Norwin School District is the primary draw for families. It is consistently high-ranking, known for strong academics and a massive range of extracurriculars (the Norwin Band is legendary in the region). Parts of the township also fall into the Penn-Trafford School District, which is equally well-regarded.
What is there to do on the weekends?
It’s a mix of nature and local flavor-you have Oak Hollow Park and Indian Lake, which offer fishing, trails, and expansive playgrounds and you’re only 15–20 minutes from Kennywood (the local amusement park) and about 45 minutes from the Laurel Highlands for skiing and hiking.
How is the commute from North Huntingdon to Downtown Pittsburgh or Greensburg?
It’s a “commuter’s dream” for those who work in Pittsburgh or Greensburg. You have direct access to Route 30 and the PA Turnpike (I-76). However, be warned: Route 30 can get congested during rush hour, so most locals know the “back roads” to bypass the main lights.
