Swissvale: A Blend of Legacy and Modernity
The Swissvale neighborhood, located just seven miles from downtown Pittsburgh, offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern convenience. The area is characterized by well-worn blocks of homes, industrial buildings, and commercial strips that rise along the hills above the Monongahela River. Swissvale is known for its affordability and evolving community programs, making it an attractive option for new residents.
Local businesses, including mom-and-pop shops, add to the neighborhood's down-to-earth ambiance. Residents can visit the Carnegie Library branch, get a trim at Quality Cutz, or enjoy an ice cream cone at Swissvale Dari Delite. The Triangle Bar & Grill, famous for its enormous Battleship hoagies, has been a local favorite since the 1940s.
The neighborhood is home to several churches, some of which have served the community for over a century. The Giant Eagle at Edgewood Town Centre is a popular spot for weekly grocery shopping. Community events, such as the annual Easter egg hunts and the Community Day Festival, foster a strong sense of community among residents.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the nearby Frick Park offers extensive forested grounds for hiking, biking, and off-leash dog walking. Swissvale also has several smaller parks, including Les Getz Memorial Park, which features a playground, pavilion, and baseball fields. The Swissvale Bowl-A-Rama and Switch and Signal Skatepark provide additional recreational options for residents.
Accessible Transportation Options
Swissvale is well-connected to the rest of Pittsburgh, making it an ideal location for commuters. The borough is bisected by I-376, providing a quick seven-mile drive through the Squirrel Hill Tunnels and down the Parkway East into downtown Pittsburgh. For those looking to avoid the tunnels, alternative routes are available, and residents often plan for an extra 15 minutes during rush hour.
Public transit users can access several Port Authority bus routes throughout the borough. The Braddock Hills Flyer stops at Brinton Rd & Kings, just a 10-minute walk from the building. Another nearby stop, Edgewood Ave & Columbia, serves both the Mckeesport Flyer and North Braddock lines, about a 15-minute walk away. For air travel, Pittsburgh International Airport is approximately 40 minutes away by car.
While the area is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 37, it is somewhat bikeable, offering some opportunities for cycling. The building's location near major roads and highways ensures that residents can easily reach their destinations, whether commuting to work or exploring the city's attractions.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
