Why live in Hazelwood, a historic neighborhood in the East End
Hazelwood is a hilly, historic neighborhood in the East End of Pittsburgh. Its proximity to downtown, Interstate 376 and buzzy neighborhoods like Oakwood and Squirrel Hill South has encouraged redevelopment, most notably at Hazelwood Green, a tech-forward office space and community hub that was once a steel mill. But life in Hazelwood isn’t all about waiting for change. Moving in today, you’ll already live in a community with small businesses, community events, top-rated Pittsburgh Public Schools and low-cost homes that offer sweeping views of the Monongahela River Valley.
Hazelwood is alive with greatness and vision!
Hazelwood Green has artwork that is inspired by the former steel mills of Hazelwood.

Old-school Pittsburgh homes and how prices compare to the East End
Hazelwood is laid out in old-fashioned city blocks. Buyers can find rowhomes, semi-detached houses and detached homes, including Foursquares, Victorians and National styles, built in the early 1900s. Some Cape Cods and other classic styles were built closer to the midcentury. These historic homes might be abandoned or freshly updated. Sidewalks and city steps help with navigating Hazelwood’s sloping terrain. “It's a neighborhood in transition, which means it's affordable, there’s upside and there’s risk,” says Joseph Pegher, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices who’s served the Pittsburgh area for over 12 years. Extreme fixer-uppers can go for less than $25,000, while larger, renovated homes with valley views on the cusp of Greenfield can sell in the mid-$400,000s. Hazelwood Initiatives, Inc. is an organization that assists with buying and renovating homes. The community is fairly evenly split between renters and homeowners.
Hazelwood’s median sale price is in the mid-$100,000s. That's lower than the median prices in neighboring Greenfield and South Oakland, and significantly lower than East End neighborhoods like Squirrel Hill South.

Parks and places to enjoy nature are also close to home
Lytle Land has a small modern playground, while larger Burgwin Park also has a spray park and sports courts. Hazelwood Greenway is a woodsy BMX and hiking trail that travels through a hillside on the neighborhood’s east side. You can bike to a trailhead for the Three Rivers Heritage Trail near the Hot Metal Bridge. The Spartan Community Center of Hazelwood hosts after-school programming and educational events in a former school building.

Hazelwood is convenient to many of Pittsburgh’s modern commuter hubs, whether you’re taking a Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus, biking down the Three Rivers Heritage Trail or driving on I-376.

Big developments are happening at Hazelwood Green
Hazelwood Green’s sleek, contemporary offices and wide-open outdoor greens don’t try to disguise its past; a former Jones & Laughlin Steel mill and active railroad tracks are integrated into the nearly 200-acre campus. Since the 2000s, developers have been reimagining the riverfront plot as a center for the community and the greater Pittsburgh region. Start-ups and researchers already work in Mill 19 office spaces. Ongoing projects include a Pittsburgh Steelers-affiliated youth sports complex and more residential and retail development. Hazelwood Green plays into the Greater Hazelwood Neighborhood Plan, a guide for how future growth should balance the needs of industry, businesses and residents.
Hazelwood stays connected through local organizations and events
“There’s a great public library,” says Sonya Tilghman, the executive director of Hazelwood Initiatives, Inc. “And a lot of kids’ programming.” The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Hazelwood hosts crafting clubs and story times for children. Hazelwood Local puts on events at Hazelwood Green, ranging from movie nights and yoga classes to family-friendly seasonal markets. The Hazelwood Initiative, Inc. maintains three community gardens within the neighborhood, and you can reserve a bed on their website.
The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh in Hazelwood sees locals visit for a quiet space to read.

I moved to the Hazelwood borough of Pittsburgh about a year ago and I love it. It's close enough to downtown and the college that I'm attending while still being somewhat suburban. I feel very safe here because the neighbors all watch out for each other and are very friendly.
