Stanton Heights

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.Shopping and dining in neighboring areas
Very few businesses exist in Stanton Heights, so residents travel to nearby commercial centers for shopping and dining. In Lawrenceville, Hop Farm Brewing Company serves up weekly food specials to pair with its variety of beers on tap. Residents can browse the stacks of records at Long Play Cafe or the racks of clothing at Ghost Town Vintage. ALDI, Whole Foods, and Target sit south of the neighborhood and provide residents with fresh produce and groceries.A day for the community
The annual Stanton Heights Community Day Festival takes place in September and offers free fun to anyone looking to attend. Avid readers can participate in a neighborhood-wide book swap while prospective shoppers can peruse through the accompanying flea market. The festival also has local food and drink vendors and is sponsored by businesses in the area.Schools in the Pittsburgh Public School District with higher education nearby

The University of Pittsburgh is 4 miles south of the neighborhood, and residents can catch a Pitt Basketball game at the Peterson Events Center. Carnegie Mellon University is also nearby. It was founded in 1900 and is home to the first drama program in the United States.Baseball fields and polar bears
In the summer, residents can play a game of catch on the baseball field at Officer Eric Kelly Memorial Field. The park also features tennis courts, a playground, and open green space to toss a frisbee or walk the dog. Animal lovers can head to The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium, one of six major zoo-aquarium hybrids in the United States. The highly rated park is home to more than 4,000 animals and is famous for its polar bear exhibit.Easy access to downtown Pittsburgh
