Eddy Homes has spent over 50 years helping families find their way home. We know that choosing where to plant your roots is about more than just a floor plan. It’s also about the lifestyle that waits outside your front door. Pittsburgh is a city of distinct personalities, and currently, the conversation for many is which of the two (the North Hills or the South Hills) is the right place to settle down. Luckily, Eddy Homes has two exciting new luxury communities in these areas to help you choose: Woodbriar in Peters Township and Autumn Grove in Wexford.

 

Whether you’re drawn to the established, serene rhythm of the South Hills or the high-energy, executive momentum of the North Hills, both communities offer the signature craftsmanship and personal attention that have defined Eddy Homes since 1971.

The Southern Sanctuary: Woodbriar in Affluent Peters Township

If your vision of home involves quiet morning coffee overlooking rolling hills and evenings spent in a community that feels like a hidden retreat, Woodbriar in Peters Township is calling your name. Tucked away in the scenic Venetia area, Woodbriar is designed for homeowners who value privacy without sacrificing connection.

 

This community isn’t just about the houses; it’s about the legacy. Woodbriar sits firmly within the prestigious Peters Township School District, which was recently ranked #1 in Pennsylvania for PSSA scores. For families, this offers a sense of stability and educational excellence that is hard to match anywhere else in the state.

Unmatched Variety and Craftsmanship

The single-family new construction PA buyers in Woodbriar will find a diverse range of floor plans designed to suit any stage of life. These homes are built for “forever.” Whether you need a sweeping estate for a growing family or a sophisticated ranch-style layout with a main-level owner’s suite for effortless living, Woodbriar provides the canvas.

Luxury Product and Features

As with every Eddy Homes build, the details are what make the difference. In Woodbriar, you can expect:

 

  • Spa-like owner’s baths that serve as your personal sanctuary.
  • Personalized walk-in closets with enough room for every season.
  • Private, wooded homesites that maximize your views and your peace of mind.

Lifestyle and Connectivity

The Pittsburgh South Hills real estate market has always been known for its refined amenities. Residents here are just minutes away from local institutions like the charming Arlecchino Ristorante, set in a restored schoolhouse, or the classic American comfort of Atria’s. For your daily needs, the Donaldson’s Crossroads Shopping Center offers everything from high-end boutiques to a premium Giant Eagle and Fine Wine & Good Spirits.

 

For the commuter, the South Hills offers a secret weapon: the “T.” This mass transit system allows you to glide into Downtown Pittsburgh, bypassing the bridge and tunnel traffic that can often slow down a morning drive.

The Northern Momentum: Autumn Grove and the Wexford Corridor

Autumn Grove in Wexford offers a different kind of excitement. Located in the heart of Marshall Township, Autumn Grove is an exclusive enclave of just 12 homesites. This is the ultimate choice for the professional who wants to be close to the corporate pulse of the North Hills and the Cranberry Township business corridor.

A Sanctuary of Modern Design

The luxury homes North Allegheny buyers seek are often defined by a desire for modern aesthetics and efficient connectivity. At Autumn Grove, every homesite backs into protected green space and mature trees, creating a private “pocket park” feel for each resident. With pricing starting at $1M+, this community represents a rare opportunity for exclusivity in one of the region’s fastest-growing areas.

Versatile Home Features

Whether you are looking for a ranch-style home, a main-level owner’s suite, or a traditional two-story floor plan, Autumn Grove has an option for everyone. These homes are designed for the way we live today, featuring:

 

  • Gourmet kitchens designed for both the family chef and the frequent entertainer.
  • Sun-filled morning rooms that bring the outside in.
  • Functional home offices that provide a quiet, professional backdrop for remote work.
  • Private owner’s retreats featuring balconies that overlook your wooded backyard.

Easy Commuting and Corporate Access

The North Hills is the gateway to Pittsburgh’s executive hub. Being served by the North Allegheny School District—consistently ranked among the top districts in the nation—Autumn Grove offers incredible investment value. For those working in Wexford or Cranberry, your commute is measured in minutes, not miles, allowing you more time to enjoy your home and less time behind the wheel.

Finding Your Place: Stability & Dynamics

Deciding on your next chapter often comes down to your preferred lifestyle and regional ties,  and Woodbriar in Peters Township and Autumn Grove in Wexford offer excellent options to suit a range of buyers.

 

  • Woodbriar offers a “Stability” narrative. It is anchored by the long-standing prestige of the Peters Township School District and the timeless appeal of the South Hills.
  • Autumn Grove offers a “Growth” narrative. It capitalizes on the rapid economic expansion of the North Hills and the modern executive lifestyle.

Investment Narrative: Starting Your Legacy

When you invest in an Eddy Home, you’re buying a home, and you’re starting your legacy.

 

  • Woodbriar: Experience a naturally serene setting that blends privacy with generational value.
  • Autumn Grove: Position yourself in a high-velocity market with modern design and top-tier corporate proximity.
