A residential community on the Allegheny River
Stanton Heights sits along the banks of the Allegheny and is a quiet escape from the energy of Eastern Pittsburgh. “Stanton Heights is part of a donut hole,” says Stephen Cummings Pittsburgh native and owner of the Cummings Brothers Realty. “Everything around it is super expensive, but it's in the middle and is actually affordable.” Residents of the neighborhood can shop and dine in nearby commercial districts, all while being able to retreat to their peaceful, tree-lined streets. Brick houses are a common sight in Stanton Heights, indicative of the post-World War II era in which many of them were built. Just 6 miles from downtown, homeowners also have easy access to Pittsburgh's vibrant nightlife and major sporting events.
The streets of Stanton Heights are quiet and offer privacy.
Stanton Heights is a vibrant residential community with plenty of housing options.

Brick housing from post-World War II
Many residences in Stanton Heights date back to the housing boom of the late 1940s. “Post World War II housing really is its own style,” says Cummings. “Most homes have three to four bedrooms with integral garages and brick and plaster to fit the GI Bill requirements of the time.” Duplexes from that era populate the neighborhood's southern end and feature brick facades with two-car garages. Split-level houses and American Foursquares can be found along the winding cul-de-sacs, while cozy Tudor cottages sit tucked away on hilly streets. Housing prices vary significantly due to some recent renovations of older homes. Prices tend to start at $180,000, with newer, bigger models going for over $400,000.
Many single-family homes in Stanton Heights have attached garages.
Many homes have been standing in Stanton Heights for decades.

My neighborhood is a comfortable place to live in. Our street which I live on is very safe and the resident who live here has been here for many years. Where we live is close to all areas stores and shops. Monroeville and North Hills are only 15 minuets away. Local grocery stores are near. Best neighborhood to live in. Also local schools are near. Good neighborhood to walk and exercise . What I would like to see change is that more people get involved with keeping a light on outside of there home and letting official know if strangers or vandalism is being committed .Look out for each other.

Staton Heights is a family friendly neighborhood close to the city but with a suburban feel. Great area for raising kids and everyone looks out for each other. Minutes away from up and coming Lawrenceville area and many local restaurants and shops. Also nearby are the Pittsburgh Zoo and Higland Park:

I grew up here its no good. If you enjoy boring days, a weak community and want to hear the grass being cut allday move here. They give you a medium size yard for no reason. There's no stores in the community you need a car.
