Saint Clair Homes for Sale

Once centered around the demolished St. Clair Village housing development, St. Clair is a Hilltop neighborhood reinvesting in community organizations and resources in South Pittsburgh. “After the last buildings came down in 2010, the Mt. Oliver/St. Clair Community Group, Lighthouse Cathedral Church and Hilltop Alliance organized to find a productive use for this land,” says John Bixler, executive director of the Hilltop Urban Farm. “The youth farm was a priority because it’s what the community wanted. Addressing food insecurity and education inform a lot of the programming here.” Specialized St. Clair groups and regional Hilltop connectors preserve established ties and bolster new green spaces, bonds and events among forested hills 3 miles south of downtown Pittsburgh. Familiar industrial suburb vistas characterize St. Clair’s narrow residential streets, from rows of mismatched brick and vinyl pre-war and midcentury homes to teal-toned fences guarding drop-offs overgrown with brambles and thickets of trees. Locals live in Dutch Colonial or simple gable-front two-story homes and smaller bungalows on quiet side streets or more isolated properties perched atop steep hills along
