Liberty, a small borough in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, is situated about 15 miles south of Pittsburgh along the Youghiogheny River. This tranquil residential community features attractively priced homes, with some dating back to the turn of the 20th century. The housing styles are diverse, including brick ranch-style homes from the late 1940s to the early 1970s, as well as farmhouse, Victorian, Cape Cod, American Foursquare, and Tudor styles. The homes occupy spacious lots on truncated streets, providing an extra level of privacy. Residents enjoy rural recreation along the Youghiogheny and Monongahela rivers, which intersect nearby, offering opportunities for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and boating. Ballfield Park and athletic spaces at South Allegheny Middle/Senior High School support youth sports such as baseball, softball, football, soccer, and cheerleading. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore Dead Man’s Hollow Conservation Area, featuring miles of trails, native flora and fauna, hidden waterfalls, and riverfront access. Renziehausen Park in McKeesport, just across the river, offers a variety of features including Lake Emilie, an arboretum, butterfly garden, history center, senior center, and a bandshell for summer concerts. Retail and dining options are limited within Liberty, but nearby McKeesport provides access to stores like Aldi and Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, and dining at Tillie’s Restaurant. Public transportation is available via bus stops along Walnut Street, and car travelers can reach downtown Pittsburgh in about 40 minutes. Community events such as a Halloween parade, Christmas light-up nights, and a fall festival foster a neighborly atmosphere.
