Export, PA

Tucked inside the larger community of Murrysville, Export is a small Westmoreland County borough with deep historical roots. The town earned its name during the coal boom of the late 1800s, when coal was mined here and shipped across the region by rail. That history shaped the borough's compact layout, leaving behind a walkable, close-knit neighborhood filled with classic older homes.

Today, Export offers quiet small-town living with all the perks of the surrounding suburbs. Families are part of the well-regarded Franklin Regional School District, and locals enjoy easy access to Route 22 amenities as well as the Westmoreland Heritage Trail, which runs right through town. It makes a great home base for anyone looking for historic charm within an easy drive of Pittsburgh.
