Encyclopedia > Sheraden

Sheraden is the largest neighborhood in Pittsburgh's western region. It is surrounded by Windgap, Chartiers City, Crafton Heights, and Elliott.


Sheraden Park is the focus for most of this neighborhood's recreational activities. Set in a wooded valley, the Park houses a swimming pool, tennis courts, ballfields, basketball courts and plenty of picnic and playground areas. Residents are also proud of the library/community center and the renovated senior center that also serve the neighborhood. Many houses in Sheraden are known locally as "Pittsburgh Boxes," a cross between the wide, Prairie-style homes of the midwest and the urban Victorians found in the east. Translated into layman's terms, it means that you can find a spacious, functional affordable home with amenities like a large front porch and hardwood floors.


Youth are important to Sheraden's residents. Langley High School is attended by many of the neighborhood's teens. On a summer evening, the bleachers are full at the local Little League games, while younger neighbors populate the community's many playgrounds and tot lots.
