Accessibility to downtown is the main appeal
Beechview, a large, established neighborhood in Pittsburgh’s South Hills, offers an appealing blend of suburban living and city access. Annexed into Pittsburgh in 1909, the neighborhood is named after the beech trees common along quiet residential streets that belie the array of modern amenities available to residents. Conveniently located within 4 miles of the heart of the city, a commuter rail line runs through the neighborhood. “Accessibility to downtown is very good, and that’s a big plus,” says Michael Pohlot, a Realtor with Janus Realty Advisors. “Living in Beechview gives you the ability to get into Pittsburgh very easily, and that’s a huge draw. In Pittsburgh, it’s usually pretty difficult to get into the city.” Residents also enjoy a neighborhood that includes a trio of schools for students in grades K-12, a variety of outdoor recreational options and a striking collection of relatively affordable homes.
Beechview residents have easy access to Downtown Pittsburgh.
Beechview is a 10min commute to downtown Pittsburgh.

"Classic properties with good craftsmanship"
The neighborhood’s hilly streets are populated with established multi-level homes prominently featuring American Foursquares built closely together, their iconic single dormers peering out from above large, welcoming porches. Gambrel roofs reminiscent of the Dutch Colonial Revival style are another common architectural feature. “There are a lot of classic properties with good craftsmanship,” Pohlot says. “Many have been remodeled and updated.” Many of the neighborhood’s brick homes feature traditional the Colonial Revival style and are among the few homes that offer more spacious lots. Because most of the homes are built with little room between them, street parking is the norm. Homes are typically priced between the low $100,000s and the low $300,000s. Home values have remained steady in recent years. The median sales price of a Beechview home is roughly $170,000. By contrast, that number is $182,000 in neighboring Brookline. “Overall it’s an affordable area,” Janus says.
In Beechview, craftsman homes are common and interspersed with townhouses, cottages and ranches.
The majority of Beechview's housing was established during its early-1900s growth spurt.

Commuter train, buses and major roadways make travel a breeze
The South Hills began to develop in the early 20th century around public transportation, and the commuter rail line known locally as the “T” serves the neighborhood of nearly 10,000. There are six neighborhood stops on the red line, a convenience that makes the neighborhood a sought-after destination. Nowhere is it easier to access Greater Pittsburgh for work or play than Beechview. Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus stops are concentrated on the edges of the neighborhood on Liberty Avenue and U.S. Highway 19, which becomes Interstate 376 in the northwest corner of the neighborhood. Pittsburgh International Airport is 20 miles west via I-376.
The Pittsburgh Light Rail allows Beechview residents a way to travel to the surrounding areas.
Spin Scooters provide Beechview residents an easy way to get around town.

Students can complete their educational journey without leaving the neighborhood
Beechwood Elementary, South Hills Middle and Brashear High – the latter two of which share a building -- are all C-rated neighborhood schools that get “A”s for diversity. Beechwood features an Artist in Residency Program in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts that culminates each May in a Nationality Night, a cultural celebration that features student musical performances and artwork.
Pittsburgh Beechwood K-5 is surrounded by a beautiful forested area.
South Hills Middle School is a comprehensive grades 6-8 middle school located in the Beechview.

More open spaces than your typical Pittsburgh neighborhood
Parks, playgrounds and green spaces dot the neighborhood. “That’s not common in Pittsburgh,” Pohlot says. “A lot of the surrounding areas don’t have as many outdoor spaces, so that makes Beechview a nice area for those looking for a more suburban feel.” Pocket parks are common on the south side, while the north side features Beechview’s two biggest recreational attractions. Beechview Spray Park is a popular summertime destination located near Beechwood Elementary. The Beechview-Seldom Seen Greenway provides a rural getaway. Often referred to as the neighborhood’s hidden gem, it comprises 90 acres of terrain that features primitive hiking trails and a stream that enhances the natural experience.

Ethnic eateries and neighborhood markets are common
Dining options are spread throughout the neighborhood. Chicken Latino, which serves up authentic Peruvian cuisine, Las Palmas Tacos and Slice on Broadway are popular stops in the heart of the neighborhood. The Broadway Avenue commercial corridor, which used to be known for its nightlife, is still recovering from a fraud scandal in the early 2000s. It was estimated that a developer who had promised a $2.6 million revitalization owned 80 percent of Beechview’s business district when he fled the country. The fallout reverberates to this day. The CAP index gives the neighborhood a 3-out-of-10 rating, which means the overall crime is relatively low.

Community involvement is a point of pride
Despite it being one of the city’s more-populous neighborhoods, Beechview is community oriented. There is a monthly clean-up event, and the Beechview Mural is a point of civic pride that was painted by dozens of residents in 2008. The neighborhood also is home to the Beechview Community Garden, which brings together volunteers for regular gatherings of work and social connection.
Residents enjoy Beechview's culture, home prices, nightlife, and school system.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I moved from castle shannon, lived here 1 year. A lot of kids in the neighborhood with no adult supervision. A lot of people walking the streets late at night. Caring fire department and police presence. Over all a decent neighborhood but I personally would not want to raise a family there unless I had to. The cost of living is affordable, and the commute downtown or anywhere is quick and easy.

Its a nice area. Not expensive but not full of troublemakers. I am not familiar with any of the schools. There's a Mexican market nearby and convenience stores. Lots of dog owners. Supposedly the home rate went up.

We've lived in Beechview for 5 months now, the area is cheaper especially with taxes so that was a plus. It's close to everything, which we love a lot. The only problem we've had is the hills, but it's something we manage with. It's a quiet area with a lot of nice qualities.
