map of Fairywood.
Located
on the edge of the city, west of Downtown,
Fairywood is a community of contrasts. It contains sedate
old homes tucked among trees on hillsides, trees and open space
- room to grow, lots of blue sky and the hush that only woodlands
can create. It is adjoined solely by Windgap.
The community of Fairywood lies among the hills seven miles southwest of Downtown Pittsburgh on the City's western edge. Fairywood's neighbors include the City neighborhoods of Sheraden, Chartiers City and Windgap along with the suburban communities of
Ingram and Crafton. Fairywood is only ten minutes away from downtown Pittsburgh via public transportation. Crafton Shopping Center lies a mile and a half down the road, and McKees Rocks Plaza
is three miles away. Allegheny Center Mall is just five minutes by car across West End Bridge.Fairywood residents try to alway work together on community
projects. The senior citizens, some who have lived in Fairywood for over sixty years, attempt to organize programs and services for the area elderly. Fairywood residents hold annual Unity Day Festivals,
Town Meetings, teenage dances, and children's talent shows. Fairywood has grown since its turn-of-the-century days, but it still remains a family community and reminiscent of the Fairywood of yesterday.
