10 (More*) neighborhoods you need to know about
by Christine O'Toole / Photography by Lisa Kyle
We like quirky. Give us Pittsburghers a few well-planned blocks or a few thousand acres with real personality - from their schools to their skylines to their shoe shops - and we'll embrace them.
A defining element of the Pittsburgh region is unique neighborhoods. It's an E Pluribus Unum thing. A similar look at some noteworthy neighborhoods in 2006 created such readership interest that we decided to go out again and export some more.
In reporting on 10 locations in a rough regional circle from Butler to Somerset to Beaver counties, we've found many communities worthy of note. We've compared these 10 to see how they stack up in age, diversity, crime and other measures. And we've taken a look at median home prices for each. If you're looking, you'll find Pittsburgh-area prices are still affordable for many. Whether you're hoping to launch out of an empty suburban home, to land in a Strip District loft or to experience small-town life along our rivers, these 10 neighborhoods offer dozens of possibilities.
