A mix of urban and suburban living
Situated in the west end of Pittsburgh, Oakwood is a small neighborhood that offers residents a suburban escape within city limits. Rolling hills encircled by oak trees feature a mix of single-family homes secluded from big city hubbub, with shops and eateries aplenty in the Noble Manor Shopping Center and nearby Robinson Township. Residents wave as they see each other passing by and Oakwood Park offers peaceful afternoon retreats in the heart of the neighborhood. “People move there because it’s just a quaint little neighborhood, a Mayberry in the city,” says Paul Bergman, Realtor and associate broker with Coldwell Baker Realty, who has 15 years of experience in the area.
Afternoons at Oakwood Park
Within walking distance is Oakwood Park, whose grounds used to house an old stone reservoir. Back in the day, the reservoir's sparkling waters enticed kids to break the rules and enjoy a quick swim. Today, its remnants serve as a wall encircling multiple tennis courts, and a popular rock-climbing spot for young kids. A gazebo invites picnickers, and the shouts of children on the playground echo through the air. Athletes can practice their jump shots on the basketball courts or their pitches on the baseball diamond.
About 2 miles west, scenic strolls await along the Crafton Creekside Trail, attracting joggers and dog walkers. On hot summer days, residents can splash around the Westwood Swimming Pool, a public pool that hosts swim teams and classes. Other nearby activities include running around the Pittsburgh Paintball Park and striking out at Bowlero Pittsburgh.

Colonials and raised ranch-style homes
Rolling hills give way to a mix of single-family homes on modest lots that offer enough room for small gardens, storage sheds and the occasional above-ground pool. Sidewalks offer opportunities for leisurely neighborhood strolls or walks to the park. Some streets feature raised ranch-style homes with attached one-car garages, while others showcase American Foursquares, colonials with steep front steps and the occasional Tudor. Prices range from the lower $100,000s to the mid $200,000s. “It tends to be an affordable neighborhood,” Bergman says, with average homes prices approximately $50,000 less than properties in Downtown Pittsburgh, which makes it a popular spot for first-time homebuyers. Side streets like Pensdale are prone to occasional flooding due to surrounding sloping roads and can also impact nearby homes.
Colonial style homes can be found around the Oakwood neighborhood.
Ranch style homes with an attached garage are a popular option in the Oakwood neighborhood.

Hosted by the August Wilson African American Cultural Center every September, crowds gather in the streets to enjoy live music, food and drink vendors and a kid zone. “There are just so many events,” says Diane McConaghy, Realtor and associate broker with Re/Max Select Realty, who has over 10 years of experience in the industry. “People fly from all over for Steelers games, art festivals and the annual air show.”
