  • Suburban communities (Cranberry, South Fayette, Moon): Most new homes/townhouses start around $350,000–$470,000, rising to just under $700,000 for larger or premium homes. A few luxury options can break above $700,000.




  • Urban mixed-use and rentals: Apartments in new developments typically lease for $1,700–$2,100/month for 1–2 bedrooms. Townhomes and for-sale homes in mixed-use projects (Bakery Square) generally list from the low $270,000s and up, with some high-end options exceeding $400,000, depending on size and finishes.

  • Price ranges reflect available inventory in mid-2025; market prices may vary based on customization, lot selection, and additional upgrades.
