About Glenshaw

Glenshaw is a peaceful, scenic suburb tucked into the wooded hills just north of Pittsburgh. Centered mainly in Shaler Township, it offers quiet residential streets, green valleys, and an easy 15-minute commute down Route 8 into the city. It serves as a comfortable, down-to-earth home base for commuters who want a relaxed neighborhood setting while staying close to downtown jobs, museums, and dining.

Aufderheide plot, Mount Royal Cemetery, 2015 03 22, 01

The area got its start in the early 1800s around a sawmill built by John Shaw in a valley known as Shaw's Glen. Today, that leafy, small-town character is still easy to find. Locals spend weekends hiking the waterfall trail at Fall Run Park, catching up at the Shaler North Hills Library, or supporting the local Shaler Area school sports teams. It is a warm, established community that makes settling into the North Hills feel effortless.
