About Thornburg

Tucked just a few miles west of downtown Pittsburgh, Thornburg feels like a peaceful, wooded enclave hidden in plain sight. Originally developed around the turn of the twentieth century, this tiny borough is full of architectural character, featuring classic Craftsman and Tudor homes along tree-lined streets. Community life revolves around Thornburg Park, a sprawling green space along Chartiers Creek with trails, ballfields, and plenty of room to unwind. It is an ideal spot for anyone looking for a quiet, small-town atmosphere with an easy commute into the city.
