Though the coal industry is long gone from Braddock Hills, you can still mine value out of the established urban neighborhood on the outskirts of Pittsburgh.

Traditional brick homes with private driveways and small yards are common along the neighborhood’s streets. Multi-level Dutch Colonial Revival homes, notable for their gambrel roofs, and Tudor-style homes, recognizable for their steeply pitched roofs, stand out among the neighborhood’s architecturally significant housing, which also includes smaller Tudor-style remodels. Prices typically range from the low 100,000s to the low 200,000s. The median price of a single-family home is a little more than $140,000. In contrast, the median price in neighboring Forest Hills is $215,000.

The neighborhood is home to a public Propel Charter School, which serves students in kindergarten through 12th grade with three schools on one campus. The Pittsburgh-based Propel is a non-profit organization whose mission includes a focus on innovative, scholar-centered learning and positive family support. Braddock Hills is part of the Woodland Hills School District. Nearby schools include Edgewood Elementary STEAM Academy, Dickson Preparatory STEAM Academy and Woodland Hills Senior High. All three institutions are A-rated by Niche for their diversity.

The neighborhood holds a variety of community events throughout the year at the Braddock Hills Borough Building and the Braddock Hills Senior Center. Featured events include a Valentine’s food drive in February, an Earth Day community clean-up in April, a community yard sale in the summer and a holiday party and decoration judging on separate dates in December. Outdoor recreation is limited, but residents can always take a relaxing stroll around the Braddock Hills Walking Path or shoot hoops on the basketball courts adjacent to the borough building. Forest Hills Park just east of the neighborhood provides a traditional recreational space where kids can have room to run and play. The Monongahela River is only 2 miles away and provides opportunities for bankside fishing.

Within 8 miles of Pittsburgh, the neighborhood and surrounding areas offer several convenient retail and dining options. The Braddock Hills Shopping Center is the most convenient. The neighborhood retail center is anchored by a Giant Eagle Supermarket, and its collection of businesses includes Popie Redd’s, a popular barbecue restaurant. An Aldi and several more dining options are located just blocks away at a retail center in Forest Hills. The Steel Towne Inn is a tavern-style neighborhood establishment that is the perfect place to catch a Steelers game. Closer to the north side of the neighborhood is the Edgewood Town Centre, which also includes a full-service Giant Eagle.

The neighborhood is conveniently located for residents who have to travel to work in the surrounding suburbs and into the city. Bus stops are prevalent along the neighborhood’s two main thoroughfares – Brinton Road and Yost Boulevard. There’s also a park-and-ride station in neighboring Braddock. In addition, Interstate 376 runs through the northern edge of the neighborhood. I-376 leads directly to downtown Pittsburgh.
