Forest Hills Charm

A charming community nestled in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh, Forest Hills offers intimate neighborhood living with all the advantages of a major metropolitan area. Covering only 1.5 square miles, the Borough is just 7 miles east of downtown Pittsburgh, PA, offering quick and easy access by car or public transportation to both downtown Pittsburgh and the hospitals and universities of Oakland.  Nearby are the shops and restaurants of Regent Square.  A short trip in the opposite direction leads to Monroeville, providing a myriad of options for shopping and recreation.

 

Founded in 1919, Forest Hills Borough boasts many well-established, family-friendly neighborhoods with beautiful tree-lined streets and convenient local recreational opportunities.  The Borough has strived to maintain its natural assets, dedicating almost one quarter of its land area to public parks.  This has prompted recognition by the National Arbor Day Foundation, which has honored Forest Hills as a “Tree City USA” community for over 20 years.

 

Citizens of Forest Hills enjoy year-round recreational opportunities.  Throughout the summer, the Recreation Department offers swim classes, water aerobics and opportunities for young people to join swimming and tennis teams and community soccer and baseball leagues.  Numerous activities keep community residents connected, among them the 4th of July Community Day, neighborhood block parties, volleyball games, pool parties, Concerts in the Park, a Fall Hayride and Light-Up Night.  Forest Hills residents are never lacking for something to do.

The Tudor-style home at 715 Cascade Road epitomizes the best of Forest Hills living. This spacious and well-maintained 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath home is located in a charming neighborhood on a great street. Great features include a living room with a side porch, perfect for entertaining, and a kitchen/family room with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and French doors leading out to a large 12x24 foot deck.  Enjoy outdoor living without leaving home, or take a walk to one of Forest Hills many municipal parks.  To learn more, see the virtual tour or contact Marianne DiPlacido at 412-613-8100 for a private showing.
