Our Take
Sewickley offers a decent price point for a home and a solid commute into Pittsburgh, which is good for remote workers and teachers. However, its almost total lack of walkability, limited public transit, and moderate crime rates mean you’ll still need a car and may not feel like a bustling community. If you value quiet suburban life and can handle the car dependence, it’s worth a closer look.
