Pittsburgh's farm-turned-suburb
In the far southeast corner of Pittsburgh, Lincoln Place is a suburb with a small-town feel located in Pittsburgh’s 31st Ward. The midcentury homes here are sprawled along winding streets that climb wooded hills. The area's lush landscape nods to its past; Lincoln Place was once a 106-acre farm that was sold off, developed and annexed into the city in 1929. "Lincoln Place is still in the city, but away from the hustle and bustle," says Jenni Perrino, a local Realtor with K & S Real Estate and a proud Lincoln Place resident. "We're kind of in a forgotten part of the city, which I don't mind. We usually get our roads plowed last, but that's the only real drawback. It's quiet. It's not congested. You can get downtown in 15 minutes. There's nowhere else I'd rather live in the city." Lincoln Place is one of the three Pittsburgh neighborhoods that comprise the 31st Ward, a larger community with an active community action group. "Everyone knows everyone here," says Perrino. "I like it. It makes me feel safe. The 31st Ward Facebook is pretty active, too, so we're all in the loop."
“Lincoln Place was the original name of the Mifflin Elementary School, I believe, and the name stuck,” adds Melinda Lynch, a Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway. “It is also home to the largest water tower in the region. It's a community rich in family values, diversity and boasts affordable housing while also being within the city of Pittsburgh school district despite being fully surrounded by West Mifflin.” The aforementioned Pennsylvania American Water tank in West Mifflin is 1,305 feet above sea level, close to the border of the Lincoln Place neighborhood, and has a 7.2 million-gallon tank.
Lincoln Place sits in the hills of Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Lincoln Place's midcentury charm
The 1950s is when the majority of homes in Lincoln Place were built. While there are sturdy brick-faced ranch-style homes and raised ranch-style homes on slanting streets, many properties here feature at least two floors. Common styles include split-level homes, classic American foursquares and cozy bungalows with deep front porches. The neighborhood's median lot size is over a tenth of an acre and several homes have pools. "It's one of the more affordable suburbs in the city," Perrino says. "I have a three-bed, two-bath rancher here going for $138,000. With some work, I could sell it for $185,000. That same house I could list for $250,000 in Bethel Park or $300,000 nearby in West Mifflin." Overall list prices range from $49,000 and $286,000. “As of June 2024, the median sale price for homes in Lincoln Place, Pennsylvania, reached $165,000, marking a striking 11.5% rise from the previous year,” says Lynch. “Meanwhile, the median price per square foot stood at $123, showcasing the area's growing appeal.” The Cap Index crime score is 3 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
