Patterson Heights
Neighborhood in Pennsylvania
Beaver County 15010
What sets Pittsburgh’s Patterson Heights apart from its neighbors? The Blackhawk School District serving this borough of Beaver County is the second best in the area according to Niche, but nearby communities of Chippewa and Patterson Township also benefit from it. If you ask Realtor Lois Shaffer of Park Place Realty Group LLC, it’s Patterson Height’s historic 1930s houses that make it distinctive. And she would know, as she’s sold houses in this enclave and lived in Pittsburgh for 30 years. “The homes here have a charm that modern houses don't have, and they define the neighborhood's character,” she shares. People in Patterson Heights also enjoy its small-town feeling. “Aside from its golf course, fire station and playground, it’s mostly a place to rest your head,” says Selina Blinn, a Realtor of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. Blinn’s kids attend schools in Beaver County, and she calls Patterson Heights “a quiet, beautiful place to live.”
There haven’t been many new developments in this neighborhood over the past 10 to 15 years, but Blinn says homes sell quickly once they’re listed. You can find a two-bedroom home that needs love for as little as $85,000, or a four-bedroom house with modern updates for $195,000. Prices here rarely exceed $200,000. Stepping into Patterson Heights, you’ll notice properties range from American Foursquares, to cozy bungalows, to Arts-and-Crafts styles. Many are set back a small distance from the wide roads, and most have been revived and remodeled on the inside. Living here provides on-street parking, detached garages, sidewalks that connect you to neighbors and streetlights to guide you in the dark.
Students in Patterson Heights may attend schools in the Black Hawk School District, including Blackhawk Intermediate School, Highland Middle School and Blackhawk High School. The intermediate school carries an overall B-plus rating from Niche, while the middle and high school both earn B-plus overall scores. The high school encourages positive student interactions through their “do your part” anti-bullying program, contributing toward a peaceful future.
On the weekends and afternoons, you’ll often spot neighbors at Brady’s Run Park – an impressive 2,000 acres popular for mountain biking and horse riding. Locals love to swim and fish in this park’s lake and busy parents often run its paved one-mile loop with their kids in their strollers. Brady’s Run is only 4 miles from the neighborhood, making it easy to get to by car.
You'll need a car to get most places, but you can get to many of them quickly. For a night out or a quick lunch, visit Seventh Avenue’s Chilly Willy Cheesesteaks for authentic Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches and Frank’s Original Grill for wings and live music. You can also travel to Chippewa Towne Center to stock up on essentials. Among big box stores, this shopping center has a Walmart and a Home Depot. You might also “head down the hill,” as Blinn puts it, to grab groceries at Beaver Supermarket – just 4 miles away via Darlington Road. This road is the main thoroughfare that connects Patterson Heights to highlights beyond its bounds, including Pittsburgh International Airport – 24 miles north.
Of course, you can also head to the bigger city when you want to visit the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium, The Andy Warhol Museum or other Pittsburgh highlights. But you might also want to stick close to home – visit the park, sit on your front porch, play with your kids and enjoy a slow day from a small-town life. Beaver County hosts plenty of events to look forward to, including an annual quilt show that has been running for nearly 30 years.
Living in Patterson Heights, you’ll knit essential aspects of your life together, creating a comforting tapestry called home.
