About Monessen

Downstream from Pittsburgh, Monessen lies on a peninsula 27 miles south of Pittsburgh’s downtown business district. Although steel making was once a prominent industry in Monessen, the city is beginning to clean its image by removing relations to the rust belt and developing nicer neighborhoods to attract the wealthier businessman crowd. The local Monessen Riverfront Industrial Park is only a shell of what it once was, but still provides a number of jobs for residents looking to work in town. However, most residents of an apartment or home for rent in Monessen commute either to Pittsburgh or to Charleroi and Donorai, across the river. The I-70 that passes through the western portion of Monessen provides quick and convenient transportation to a variety of shopping centers and retail stores. Two different railroads that serve Monessen provide a cheaper alternative to driving. Most residents have to travel outside of Monessen as the city itself hosts only a number of local boutiques and restaurants. Residents of a Monessen house or apartment for rent enjoy watching boats sail by from the riverfront, biking and jogging on the city’s multiple recreational trails, and participate in a variety of sports and fitness activities at the Monessen City Park.
