Hyde Park offers small-town riverfront living outside Pittsburgh
Hyde Park rolls along the hills of northern Westmoreland County, hugged on three sides by railroad tracks and the Kiskiminetas River. It's one in a string of post-industrial boroughs that fill bends in the Kiski on the Armstrong-Westmoreland County line. Leechburg, home to a walkable business district and a developing rail trail, is connected to Hyde Park by the longest swaying footbridge in Pennsylvania. These shared resources of the Alle-Kiski Valley’s small towns allow Hyde Park to remain a riverfront community where life flows much slower than in Pittsburgh. “Hyde Park is a nice, quiet, suburban area. Taxes are low in Westmoreland County, and Kiski Area School District has a lot of good programs for the kids,” says Denise Lewandowski, a real estate agent at Howard Hanna with 21 years of experience serving Westmoreland, Armstrong and Allegheny counties.
Hyde Park is surrounded by railroad tracks and the Kiskiminetas River.
After crossing the Hyde Park Walking Bridge, you can rack up your bike and enjoy the park.

Historic single-family homes on hilly, suburban blocks
Much of Hyde Park was developed into curving blocks around the turn of the 20th century, connected to the railway and manufacturing centers that powered the borough’s early industrial economy. Simple National-style homes built in the early 1900s stand next to Foursquares built in the same era, all set on small suburban lots. Prices for these homes can range from around $20,000 to $150,000, depending on renovation needs. Homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, including Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals, can sell for around $200,000 to $360,000. There are a handful of streets closer to the Kiskiminetas River where homebuyers may need flood insurance. Most blocks past the railroad tracks fall outside this zone, gradually rising along gently rolling, tree-shaded hills. Sidewalks line many streets, but even roads without them are typically quiet enough for residents to walk around.

Parks and recreation along the Kiskiminetas River
At Scott D. Grove Memorial Park, residents might shoot hoops or picnic at a shaded pavilion next to the playground. Kayaks and canoes launch into the Kiskiminetas River from the nearby Twin Towers Landing, a boat launch maintained by local volunteers and firefighters. The old yellow Hyde Park Walking Bridge sways as people cross the river, ending in a peaceful riverfront pocket park in Leechburg. There, cyclists can find their way to the Leechburg Tow Path Trail, a new one-mile path that connected with the extensive Armstrong Trails in 2025. In the future, the path will continue across the Hyde Park Walking Bridge, leading to the borough’s boat launch.
