Why Mt. Lebanon Luxury Homes Are Unique
Mt. Lebanon is one of Pittsburgh’s most iconic South Hills communities — known for its tree-lined streets, walkable Uptown district, nationally ranked schools, and rich architectural character. Buyers here aren’t just purchasing a home; they’re buying into a community with history, prestige, and lifestyle appeal.
Luxury homes in Mt. Lebanon — from storybook Tudors with original stained glass to modernized Colonials with open-concept kitchens — require a marketing approach that balances heritage and modern living. That’s where the Coulter & Castillo Group stands apart.
The Challenges of Selling Luxury in Mt. Lebanon
Diverse Architecture
Unlike newer developments, Mt. Lebanon features a wide variety of homes: stone Tudors, Colonial Revivals, mid-century homes, and fully renovated modern estates. Each property has a distinct story that must be told through marketing.
Discerning Buyers
Mt. Lebanon buyers are well-informed. Many are families moving up for the schools (like Markham, Hoover, or Jefferson Elementary) or professionals seeking walkability to Uptown shops and restaurants. They expect elevated marketing that showcases design and lifestyle.
Competition
Because Mt. Lebanon is one of the most desirable South Hills communities, listings compete for attention. Without standout marketing, a property can easily blend into the background.
How Coulter & Castillo Market Mt. Lebanon Homes
Cinematic Storytelling
We produce mini-movies for every Mt. Lebanon listing — highlighting not just the home, but also Uptown’s coffee shops, parks, and schools. A video of a Tudor on Salem Ave featured drone footage of its tree-lined block paired with lifestyle shots of family-friendly Uptown dining — resulting in multiple offers within 48 hours.
Lifestyle-Driven Branding
Each property is branded to highlight its lifestyle. A Colonial on Standish was positioned as the “perfect entertainer’s home,” while a stone Tudor near Washington Road was marketed as a “storybook castle.”
Social-First Campaigns
Instagram reels and TikTok tours are designed to stop the scroll — often showcasing Mt. Lebanon’s signature details like hardwood floors, arched doorways, or walkable Uptown access. These campaigns attract both local move-up buyers and relocating families.
