About Allegheny County
Selling a house in Allegheny County
Allegheny County is in southwestern Pennsylvania where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers join to form the Ohio. Pittsburgh is the county seat, and other communities include Penn Hills, Bethel Park, Mount Lebanon, McKeesport and Monroeville. Once defined by steel, the economy now leans on health care, higher education, robotics and technology research, finance and energy.
Allegheny County is the 2nd-most populous county in Pennsylvania, home to about 1,231,814 people. Its cities and towns include Pittsburgh, Bethel Park, Monroeville, Plum, Baldwin, and West Mifflin, and it covers 103 ZIP codes.
Allegheny County's large employers include UPMC, Highmark Health, PNC Financial Services, University of Pittsburgh, and U.S. Steel, and it is home to Carnegie Mellon University and University of Pittsburgh.
Landmarks include Allegheny County Parks, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, and The Andy Warhol Museum.
Allegheny County borders Beaver County, Butler County, Washington County, and Westmoreland County. We buy houses across all of them, and anywhere else in Pennsylvania.
Allegheny County's housing skews older: 77% of homes predate 1980, and 35% of households rent, while 10% of housing sits vacant. A house that age usually needs updating before it lists; we buy it as-is, with no repairs or cleaning. Rentals sell with tenants in place, and we pay the closing costs.
Whether the house is inherited, facing foreclosure, behind on property taxes or simply no longer fits, selling in Allegheny County starts with the address. The deed, any liens and the county's tax records are cleared through the title company at closing; the deed is recorded with Allegheny County Department of Real Estate, and property values and taxes are kept by Allegheny County Office of Property Assessments.
| Housing | Allegheny County | Pennsylvania |
|---|---|---|
| Homes built before 1980 | 77% | 67% |
| Households that rent | 35% | 31% |
| Households that own | 65% | 69% |
| Housing units vacant | 10% | 9% |
