A suburban borough with small-town charm and rural outskirts
About 13 miles south of Pittsburgh is the borough of Jefferson Hills. It offers all the charms of suburban living while also having more rural areas near the outskirts of town. The community abuts the borough of Pleasant Hills, both of which are considered a part of the West Jefferson Hills community, known for its highly-rated school district. Area schools played a significant role in Jefferson Hills being voted one of the best places for families to live in Pennsylvania by WalletHub.com. “Most of the people here have been satisfied. We’ve got great schools and great housing prices,” says Lori Bost, a local Realtor of 25 years with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services.
Jefferson Hills has the best of both with a rural feel and suburban living.
