About Imperial

Imperial is a quiet, close-knit suburban community in western Allegheny County, nestled between North Fayette and Findlay townships just minutes from Pittsburgh International Airport. Originally founded in the late 1800s as a coal mining settlement along Montour Run, the town has since traded its industrial origins for peaceful residential streets and green spaces. Today, newcomers are often drawn to its relaxed pace of life, friendly neighborhoods, and access to the well-regarded West Allegheny School District.

Living in Imperial puts daily conveniences and major travel routes right at your doorstep. Commuters benefit from direct access to U.S. 30, Interstate 376, and the Southern Beltway, making the trip into downtown Pittsburgh or out to Robinson Township's massive shopping and dining district straightforward. Outdoor lovers can easily hop onto the scenic Montour Trail for biking and walking along the old rail corridors, giving residents a great balance of suburban seclusion and modern convenience.
