Want every day to feel like a vacation? Ben Avon Heights was built for Pittsburghers' rural summer homes as a respite from the big city. The pastoral borough retains its initial character with larger houses, pretty green spaces and a quiet setting because of no business district in the area.
As a rural suburb, Ben Avon Heights has winding roads of tree-lined streets and woods. The mostly residential area is composed of attractive single-family homes on broad lawns complete with garden beds and small trees. As the Pittsburgh vacationers intended, neighbors still have plenty of space from each other to contrast an urban setting where homes often cluster together. Buyers can find house styles like Tudor homes with brick and half-timbering facades and stonework around the door. They can also choose from ranch-style homes, symmetrical Federal houses and rustic French Provincial homes. In Ben Avon Heights, sales prices may range from $380,000 to $634,000 depending on the size of the house and the renovations needed.
Students in Ben Avon attend the well-rated Avonworth School District, which earns a B+ on Niche for A level academics, an A in college prep and a B grade in teachers. The district was awarded the National Forum Schools to Watch for an outstanding middle school. Schools include Avonworth Elementary School, Avonworth Middle School and Avonworth High School.
To spend time outdoors, Ben Avon Heights residents can access a few lovely green spaces. The community-oriented Ben Avon Heights Park has a basketball court, a softball field, a playground and a swing set. You can also reserve the tennis/pickleball court. Enjoy annual events in the park like a summertime picnic and sleepover, an Easter egg hunt, a Halloween parade and a visit from Santa on Christmas Eve. At multi-purpose Avon Park, kids can burn energy on the playground and swing set. People with pets can access the dog-friendly trail, while athletes compete on the tennis and basketball courts. People can also eat in the pavilion of picnic tables. Take a rest from daily life at Shannopin Country Club, which offers an 18-hole golf course on rolling hills and dining options.
For further outings, residents must visit businesses outside of the borough. “Ben Avon Heights is very residential. It’s a small suburb without much happening there,” says Bryan Reilly, Realtor at RE/MAX Citylife. Because Ben Avon Heights is approximately two square miles and mostly single-family homes, people must drive to shopping excursions and dining options. The lack of businesses gives the borough a secluded, peaceful environment.
About eight miles from downtown Pittsburgh, Ben Avon Heights residents can easily commute to the big city. For downtown weekend adventures, admire the three rivers at Point State Park or try a new restaurant in Market Square. In Ben Avon Heights, make yourself at home in a tranquil rural setting with picturesque houses and green spaces.
