Fox Chapel

Fox Chapel is a borough in Allegheny County located northeast of Pittsburgh, with residential neighborhoods crossed by natural waterways and green spaces. The area blends homes and streets with trees and water features that shape the local landscape.

The area was home to Seneca Indians in the 1750s before European settlers arrived around 1790. These early transitions shaped the path that led to the growth and development of the community as it exists today.

The Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church serves as a spiritual center for the community and reflects the strong roots that religious institutions have planted here. These places of worship are where neighbors gather regularly and participate in local events that shape community life.

The borough is served by a local school district managing public schools, while private education options are available nearby. Visitors will find solid infrastructure for families and school facilities spread throughout the area.

Within the borough's boundaries sits Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve, which serves as headquarters for the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania. This protected land makes the area a significant spot for watching birds and observing nature.
