Penn Hills, located between Wilkinsburg and Plum, is a residential and hillside Pittsburgh neighborhood with wooded ravines and a patchwork of mid-century streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the William Penn Highway corridor near Rodi Road, where diners, barbershops, and long-running local storefronts line the drive. Housing leans toward brick ranches, split-levels, and postwar colonials set on deep lots with mature trees. Penn Hills Shopping Center and the Penn Hills Library anchor daily errands and community programming. Green space threads through places like Blackridge Park and nearby trails, giving the area a quiet, outdoors-forward rhythm.

Single-Family Residence District
Single-Family Residential Districts are composed of certain quiet, lowdensity residential areas of the Municipality, and vacant lands where single-family residential development is encouraged. The regulations for these districts are designed to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of these districts; to protect the amenities of certain areas where a singlefamily residential pattern has already been established; to promote a suitable environment conducive to family life; and to prohibit those commercial activities not explicitly approved. To these ends, development is limited to those uses expressly permitted and certain bulk and area regulations are established.
