Perry South
American Foursquares and townhouses
Historic townhouses and single-family homes line Perry South’s hilly streets. While most townhouses don’t have front yards, many single-family homes, such as historic American Foursquares and Folk Victorian Revivals, feature modest yard space with garden beds and grass. The median lot size is less than a tenth of an acre. Other styles of single-family properties in Perry South include bungalows. Shingle siding is popular among the area’s historic homes. Overall list prices range from $21,000 — about the cost of a two-bedroom, one-bathroom fixer-upper — to $472,000, which could afford a recently renovated four-bedroom, two-bathroom home.Perry High’s pathways
Perry South students attend schools in the Pittsburgh Public School District. They can take their first academic steps at Pittsburgh King PreK-8 before going to Perry High. Both are rated C-minus on Niche. There are three academies students can utilize at Perry High: the Liberal Arts/STEAM magnet, Career and Technical Education, and Service & Military Science. Students can commit to one or more before the end of ninth grade.Homegrown goodies at Ballfield Farm
Perry South offers several options for outdoor recreation. At the Cross and Strauss Parklet, children can go to a convenient, fenced playground away from the busy main road. Alternatively, people passionate about organic food can grow their own at Ballfield Farm, an old ball field that now serves as a garden. Members interested in producing fresh food for themselves and community members in need can join forces in this ecology project.Shopping and dining around Perry South
Perry South offers a couple of casual places to grab a bite to eat. At BreadWorks Bakery, folks buy rolls and specialty focaccia. The bakery donates extra bread to local charities, underlining yet another neighborhood effort to give back to the community. Wilson's Bar-B-Q is another local spot, popular for their ribs and chicken.As for running errands, Perry Market is a quaint local spot that’s great for grabbing last-minute items and treats. However, more extensive grocery shopping and household restocking will likely take folks to the nearest Shop ‘N Save or Giant Eagle Supermarket — within a 5-mile drive.
The Pittsburgh Project and Perry Hilltop Citizen Council
At the heart of Perry South, community organizations work together to create positive change. The Pittsburgh Project is a longstanding nonprofit of 37 years that has helped the youth of Pittsburgh by providing after-school learning with the aim of creating new community leaders. “It’s rewarding to try to be a positive influence and provide families with after-school care they can afford,” Treese says. On the other hand, the Perry Hilltop Citizens Council’s mission is to revive the Perry South business district of restaurants and shops, which once thrived on Charles Street.Quick commutes to downtown Pittsburgh
Perry South is located a convenient 4-mile drive from downtown Pittsburgh and Interstate 279 runs along its east side, so commuting takes about 12 minutes when traffic is good. PRT bus stops can be found along Perryville and Wilson Avenue, making carless commutes convenient as well.
