About Clairton

Located along the Monongahela River about 13 miles south of Pittsburgh, Clairton is a small, working-class community with deep industrial roots and strong local pride. It offers affordable housing and a close-knit neighborhood feel within easy driving distance of the city. Residents spend warm afternoons at Clairton Park, which features a public pool, ballfields, and picnic pavilions, or jump on the 47-mile Montour Trail for biking and walking. Local churches, a dedicated library, and famous high school football games keep neighbors connected throughout the year. It is a quiet, down-to-earth river town where industrial heritage and everyday community life sit side by side.
