About Turtle Creek

Turtle Creek is a small borough tucked into the valley about 12 miles southeast of downtown Pittsburgh. Like many classic Western Pennsylvania towns, it grew rapidly in the late 19th century alongside the Westinghouse manufacturing boom. That history is still visible in the hillside streets, compact lots, and sturdy older homes that make up most of the community today.
