About Houston

Tucked into Washington County, Houston is a quiet, close-knit borough with a classic small-town feel. Located just minutes from Canonsburg and an easy commute to Pittsburgh, it offers a peaceful residential setting served by the Chartiers-Houston School District. Community spirit runs deep here, especially during the annual fall Pumpkin Festival, while local streams like Chartiers Creek wind through town. For anyone seeking a friendly, down-to-earth corner of southwestern Pennsylvania with easy access to major highways, Houston makes a welcoming place to call home.
