Spring Garden Homes for Sale

Spring Garden, located in Pittsburgh, has a rich industrial history dating back to the 1800s when it was a hub for tanneries, slaughterhouses, and soap production. Today, it is a primarily residential area known for its affordability and proximity to downtown Pittsburgh, just 4 miles away. The neighborhood features a variety of architectural styles, including cozy cottages, Tudor Revivals, towering Victorians, and Italianate-inspired homes. Most houses are situated along Spring Garden Avenue, with some on secondary streets. Despite limited space and modest yards, the area offers detached or on-street parking. Walkability is somewhat restricted due to unconnected sidewalks. Spring Garden is served by the Pittsburgh Public School District. While the neighborhood lacks its own parks, several green spaces are within a 5-mile radius, such as Herrs Island North Park and Millvale Riverfront Park, which feature riverside trails, tennis courts, and picnic spots. The ballfields and spray park on Goettman Street are popular summer destinations. Retail options within Spring Garden are limited to a Family Dollar, but nearby shopping and dining options include Giant Eagle Supermarket and Ron’s Pizza. Threadbare Cider House offers craft ciders and meads alongside pizza. The neighborhood benefits from convenient commutes, with Troy Hill’s business district close by and PRT bus stops along Spring Garden Avenue facilitating carless travel.
