PRT bus stops sit along one of the community’s main streets, Rhine Street.
Spring Hill City View’s streets rise through verdant Pittsburgh hills. “Spring Hill is a cute city neighborhood,” says Sara Leitera, a local Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway. “There are some nice views from up there.” Atop the slopes of the community’s hills are historic homes and stunning vistas of downtown’s hustle and bustle, which is less than a 4-mile drive away. Homebuyers interested in a centrally located, competitively priced neighborhood in Pittsburgh might just find the apple of their eye in Spring Hill City View.
Houses in Spring Hill City View sit on small lots, smaller than a tenth of an acre. Small front yards often feature trimmed bushes or small trees, while larger backyards are hedged by dense mature flora. Street parking is often utilized, and although most sections of the community have sidewalks, walkability is limited. A popular architectural type is the American Foursquare, some featuring brick exteriors, bay windows, dormers and covered front porches where residents can enjoy the weather on sunny days. Victorian and Tudor influence can be seen throughout the community as well. Other common styles include cozy bungalows and Minimal Traditional cottages. “There’s pretty affordable housing in the Spring Hill area,” Leitera says. “Most homes there are under 200,000.” The age of properties in Spring Hill City View contributes to lower costs. Many of these houses were built between the 1850s and 1930s, with the exception of some midcentury charmers. Overall list prices range from $16,000 to $356,000.

For outdoor recreation, Spring Hill residents can stop by a couple of local spots. The Spring Hill Playground gives kids multiple jungle gyms and a swing set to run around and burn off their energy. Residents can also take a swing at home plate on the ballfield. A leisurely stroll around the neighborhood may take folks to St. John’s Lutheran Cemetery, a gorgeous green space with splendid views of the downtown Pittsburgh skyline.
Spring Hill City View is a predominantly residential community. That said, everything from hole-in-the-wall bars to trendy coffee shops is minutes away. On the edge of the neighborhood lies Threadbare Cider House. This cidery meets pizza kitchen meets bottle shop is known for its home-brewed ciders and meads. Hog’s Head is another nearby hub, affectionately referred to by locals as the “The Pig Bar.” More popular establishments can be found in Troy Hill, the community next door. De Fer Coffee has a quaint location here, perfect for morning pick-me-ups. Down the street, Tammy’s Place is a homey bar and grill with delectable menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As for restocking the pantry and running other errands, Giant Eagle Supermarket is just over a mile away, less than a 5-minute drive.
