With slightly less than three square miles of land within its
boundaries, Pleasant Hills is uniquely situated in a growing
area of Allegheny County (eight miles southeast of Pittsburgh,
PA). Surrounded by reminders of a long history in
southwestern Pennsylvania, residents share a pride in the vital
community they are today and eagerly
plan for the future. |
|
Today, Pleasant Hills has 3500 households and
approximately 9000 residents. Pleasant Hills is a popular
suburb for new home buyers with everything from "first
home" to "dream home" to "retirement
home" in its housing stock. Despite the decline in
the local steel industry and many other corporate giants merging
away, Pleasant Hills has enjoyed a slow, but steady growth
coupled with a low turnover in residential housing. This
means neighbors live next door long enough to get to know each
other--often attending the baptisms, graduations, and weddings of
the same neighborhood children. Children who grew up in
Pleasant Hills often return, if circumstances permit, to raise
their families in the same supportive community atmosphere they
enjoyed. Each year, the community celebrates their
community life with Pleasant Hills Community Day in late
August. The day kicks off with a hometown parade followed
by great food, family, fun and games, entertainment, and a great
fireworks grand finale! It is so much fun that those 200
year old trees in our Arboretum blush in beautiful colors every
Autumn; we are southwestern Pennsylvania at its very best!
