Chalfant, PA

Tucked into the hills just east of Pittsburgh, Chalfant is one of Allegheny County's smallest boroughs. Spanning only a fraction of a square mile alongside Forest Hills and Wilkins Township, this cozy residential community dates back to the early 1900s, when farmland in the Turtle Creek Valley gave way to neighborhood streets and family homes.

Today, with fewer than 800 residents, Chalfant offers a peaceful neighborhood feel while maintaining its own borough council and local services. You can drive through the entire borough in a matter of minutes, but its spot near the Parkway East makes commuting into downtown Pittsburgh or running errands in neighboring commercial districts straightforward. For homebuyers seeking an affordable, close-knit corner of the eastern suburbs, Chalfant provides a quiet place to settle down.
