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 .”
