Why Move to Gilpin Township?
Nestled along the Allegheny and Kiskiminetas Rivers and conveniently located only 15 minutes to PA-Route 28 and 45 minutes to the City of Pittsburgh, historic Gilpin Township holds opportunities for all!
Consisting of 17.14 sq. miles and lying within the Leechburg Area School District, much of Gilpin Township is a rural atmosphere offering a quiet and peaceful country setting for all. As of the 2020 census, Gilpin Township is enjoyed by 2,411 residents and 1,351 households. Though rural, Gilpin Township leaves plenty of room to grow without affecting its rural charm. Through it's Zoning and administration, Gilpin Township offers opportunity for business, industrial, and residential growth.
Made up of over half of the Township's PA-Route 66 corridor, our Business District provides the daily traffic of Route 66 and plenty of buildable land while also providing both Public Water and Sewer Access. A PennDOT Traffic Study daily average shows approximately 5,200 travelers a day along this corridor. Along the Allegheny and Kiski Rivers, the Schenley Industrial Park and shuttered ATI Bagdad Plant offer access by both water and road to best serve any form of Industrial Development.
A large majority of the Township is made up of Residential and Agricultural Zoning. In these districts, regulations allow for easy development for both farmland and residential growth, with much of the Agricultural and Residental Districts being serviced with both Public Sewer and Water Access. Our Zoning protects our rural charm, while making living and building here as easy as possible!
Lastly, Gilpin Township now offers two forms of Recreational Districts along various portion of our waterways. These areas are occupied by many campsites and part-time residents of the Township and give ample opportunities of recreational enjoyment! Additionally, the Armstrong Trail now traverses along the Allegheny and Kiski Rivers in Gilpin Township!
To help you plant your roots here, Gilpin Township offers up to 10 year property tax abatements on new constructon via our LERTA program. You can learn more about LERTA here!
