Hazelwood Homes for Rent

Hazelwood, located 4 miles from Downtown Pittsburgh, is a neighborhood undergoing significant revitalization. Known for its active community engagement, Hazelwood features the Hazelwood Green project along the Monongahela River, which will include biking and walking trails and workspaces for Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. The neighborhood offers a mix of Foursquare and raised ranch-style homes, with multifamily dwellings and townhouses also available. Hazelwood is characterized by its dense urban layout, small fenced-in yards, and wide sidewalks, though it remains car-dependent with public transportation accessible along major streets. Interstate 376 and several bridges provide connectivity to neighboring areas, and Pittsburgh International Airport is 22 miles away. Local amenities include the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh-Hazelwood, which offers various programs for children, teens, and adults. Hazelwood Local hosts monthly events featuring food trucks and live music. Dining options range from the Hazelwood Café to Big Jims in the Run, with a new 1:11 Juice Bar location opening in 2024. For groceries, residents shop at Dylamato’s Market or head to South Side Flats via the Hot Metal Bridge for more options. Outdoor features include Hazelwood Greenway for hiking and biking, Lytle Land playground, and Burgwin Park with its spray park and basketball court. The Spartan Community Center provides additional recreational and educational programs. Hazelwood is served by Allderdice High School, which has a high rating and offers a magnet program in engineering. Despite its proximity to the Monongahela River, flooding is not a significant concern due to the elevated terrain.
