Everyone knows that there’ s not a whole lot of new construction in Upper St. Clair, so when a new development is underway, people get excited. Such is the case with Willowbrooke Estates— a 15-lot, 10-acre neighborhood that gives regular people a chance to buy into all of the amenities Upper St. Clair has to offer.

“ These are quarter- to half-acre lots starting at just $ 175,000 and we have a longtime custom builder ready to build your dream home,” said Erica Shulsky, the Realtor representing Willowbrooke Estates.“ Lots will be available on Oaklawn and Willowbrooke, right in the heart of Upper St. Clair. It is located right behind St. Louise de Marillac Church, near a community park and minutes from the Upper St. Clair Recreation Center. The school district is outstanding. Shopping and highways are nearby. It’ s really in the cut of everything in the South Hills.”

What’ s unique about Willowbrooke is developer Allen Sherwood’ s vision for these homes to be“ multigenerational,” meaning every custom home has the option to either include an elevator or be elevator-ready with a shaft that will serve as closet space until needed.

“ We’ re seeing a lot of older people move out of the community because their homes weren’ t designed for them to age in place,” Shulsky explained.“ In the homes our developer will be building in Willowbrooke, seniors can remain in a two-story home even if the stairs become troublesome

Other amenities of the neighborhood include a quiet cul-de-sac, lots with room for attached garages, walkout basements, and expansive backyards for outdoor living and recreation.

Homes will be in the $ 500,000 to $ 700,000 range— a bargain when you consider that you’ ll never have to downsize or worry about relocating again. The minimum home size will start at around 2,500 square feet.

“ People need homes that don’ t exist in the market right now,” Shulsky said.“ Homes like these aren’ t just for seniors; these can be homes for young families who have aging parents staying with them or kids coming back from college. For people who want that flexibility and everything Upper St. Clair has to offer, this is a perfect fit.”
