Numbers do not lie, and this one speaks fluently in cash flow. Meet 1627-1629 Laketon Road, a solid up-and-down brick duplex sitting comfortably in the heart of Wilkinsburg, where downtown Pittsburgh is only a short hop away and steady rental history is already part of the package. Here is the headline for savvy investors: fully occupied, turn key. Each of the two units offers one bedroom and one full bathroom, providing efficient, livable spaces that tenants genuinely appreciate. The upstairs unit is home to a long-term tenant, which is exactly the kind of stability rental math loves. Priced to reward smart buyers, this property leaves plenty of room for value-add ambitions. The bones are well-maintained brick, so any future renovation can focus on upgrades rather than repairs. An attic off the upper unit delivers bonus storage, a small perk that quietly adds appeal. Outside, the spacious backyard comes into view, wrapped in semi-enclosed fencing and ready for gardens, grilling, or simply somewhere to breathe. Outdoor space like this is a genuine selling point in a city where every square foot counts. Location seals the deal. Wilkinsburg High School, nearby grocery options, the East Busway station, and Blackridge Park are all nearby. Reliable income, renovation upside, and a location that keeps tenants happy—schedule your private tour today and let this duplex start working for you.

Listed by • BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY THE PREFERRED REALTY
East Hills, located between Penn Hills and Wilkinsburg, is a residential and hillside Pittsburgh neighborhood with mid-century apartment communities and wooded slopes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the East Hills Shopping Center on Frankstown Road, where a small strip of everyday storefronts meets steady bus traffic and broad parking lots. Housing ranges from brick garden-style buildings to postwar single-family streets set above the valley. The terrain creates long, quiet blocks and sudden overlooks toward the East End. Nearby green space and ballfields shape a practical, outdoors-leaning routine. Community touchpoints often orbit around East Hills Shopping Center and nearby public facilities rather than a single main street.
