Greenfield - Neighborhood of Pittsburgh

By , About.com Guide

Greenfield is one of Pittsburgh's "surprise" neighborhoods, where spectacular views of the Downtown skyline are found in unexpected spots throughout the community. Greenfield is also a family-oriented neighborhood with most of the community activities focusing on youth programs. Families who move here tend to stay, and most of the neighborhood's residents have lived in their homes for more than five years.

Location:

Greenfield is located southeast of Downtown and is surrounded by Squirrel Hill and Hazelwood. It is accessible by Second Avenue, the Parkway East, and the Boulevard of the Allies.

Attractions & Recreation:

Greenfield is home of the Magee Recreation Center, and is on the border of Schenley Park.

Homes & Housing:

Declaring itself as "a suburb in the city," homebuyers can find the house to fit their needs, from Victorians to Pittsburgh boxes to post-World War II ranch houses. A homebuyer looking for convenience, affordability, and a personal view of July 4th, Light-Up Night, or the Three Rivers Regatta fireworks can find the home of their dreams in Greenfield.

Greenfield is represented by Pittsburgh City Council District 5.
