Living high above the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh’s Troy Hill
Zigzagging streets seem to hang from forested cliffs in the North Side neighborhood of Troy Hill. From its high points, you can see some of the buzziest, busiest pockets of Pittsburgh: downtown’s skyline, the trendy, converted warehouses of the Strip District and the major hospitals and business districts of the greater East End. Even when you’re not looking out over the Allegheny River Valley, Troy Hill is a place where diverse restaurants, community parks, public murals and hidden art galleries are around every corner.
Welcome to the Troy Hill, a neighborhood that overlooks Downtown Pittsburgh.
There are stunning views of the Allegheny River in Troy Hill.

Prices for move-in-ready and fixer-upper homes in PGH’s hills
“Troy Hill, South Side Slopes – a lot of these neighborhoods close to the city have names like that. They're tucked up into hills and mountains on either side of the rivers. So, Troy Hill has a view of the city and the river,” says Sue Malagise, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate who’s served Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas for 15 years. Boxy homes fill sloping, sidewalk-lined streets throughout the neighborhood. Most of these detached and attached houses were built from the late 19th through the early 20th centuries. Some show their age, while others are freshly renovated. Move-in-ready, single-family homes range in price from the mid-$100,000s to the low $400,000s, depending on whether they offer modern updates or city views. Houses can go for as little as $5,000 if they need significant rehabilitation.
Almost none of the homes in Troy Hill have yards or added space to the lots.
Bungalows are a great option in the neighborhood.

Neighborhood mom and pops near trendy business districts
Small businesses fill old-fashioned commercial buildings on corners throughout Troy Hill. You can walk to the local bank or convenience store, but neighbors especially love their community’s diverse restaurant scene. Close to home, there’s: Penn Brewery, a German restaurant and the oldest craft brewery in the Burgh
Scratch & Co., a New American restaurant specializing in locally-sourced, seasonal recipes
Brehm’s Return, a great gathering place, whether you’re playing chess at breakfast time or shooting pool over evening drinks
De Fer Coffee & Tea, a cozy spot with a colorful indoor cafe and sunny rooftop deck
Giant Eagle grocery store is a couple of miles away in Deutschtown, as are many specialty businesses, popular restaurants and nightlife spots. The Strip District and Lawrenceville are just across the 31st Street Bridge for more shopping, dining, bars and event spaces.
Penn Brewery offers German-style brews, food and live music.
Penn Brewery is famous for their annual Oktoberfest event.

Easy access to Pittsburgh employers and a busy bike path
Troy Hill perches just above state Route 28, a bustling Pittsburgh commuter highway. Major hubs are within a few miles of home by car or Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus, including the North Side’s riverfront stadiums, downtown Pittsburgh and East End hospitals like UPMC Presbyterian. The most direct way out of Troy Hill is Rialto Street, an infamously steep and narrow road. "Sometimes, I'll coach people through it. I'll roll down the car window and shout, 'You've got to hug the curb, move over!'" says Berry Breene, a neighborhood resident and Realtor at Compass. "It's a little scary at first, but I've been up here for 11 years. You get used to it." The hills make it a little harder to walk or bike to neighboring communities, but you’ve got a flat path to the North Shore, downtown and beyond on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail.
The Troy Hill neighborhood is a wonderful place to live, work and play.
Public transit runs throughout Troy Hill and is easily accessable.

Historic churches and modern galleries in a tight-knit community
Mosaics and murals color Troy Hill, marking the old-fashioned Pittsburgh neighborhood as a revitalizing, artistic enclave. Saint Anthony Chapel, a grand 19th-century church, was built to serve the families of German farmers, millers and railroad workers. It’s famous for housing the largest collection of Christian relics outside of the Vatican. A handful of homes where historic immigrants lived are now Troy Hill Art Houses. "Part of the fun is that they were developed to look like normal houses from the outside. Walking down the street, you'd just think they're somebody's homes. But walking in, you'll find a full art installation done by a different artist," Breene says. Locals get together at events held by the Troy Hill Citizens group, including community clean-ups and the Pigtoberfest festival.
Attending PPS neighborhood and magnet schools
Troy Hill is served by the Pittsburgh Public School District. Kids can attend neighborhood schools assigned by home address or apply to schools with academic magnet programs. Pittsburgh Schiller 6-8 is a neighborhood school on the border of Troy Hill and Deutschtown that offers a partial magnet program for kids interested in rigorous STEAM coursework.
Pittsburgh Spring Hill K-5 is a safe place for kids to learn.

Cowley Park, a larger area with a playground, athletic courts and a seasonal spray park
Gardner Park, a baseball diamond at the corner of Gardner and Herman streets
Troy Hill Citizens Park, a peaceful patch with benches, flowers and a bulletin board for event flyers
The Three Rivers Heritage Trail runs parallel to the Allegheny River at the base of Troy Hill, taking cyclists and joggers around the city.

Troy hill is surprisingly quiet, with incredible views of downtown and a short scoot to more boppin' places like the strip and Lawrenceville. Not to mention, still affordable. Glad I made the choice to buy my house here.
