Go back over a hundred years and take a new look at a period in Pittsburgh’s history often characterized by the extremes of late 19th-century America: fabulous wealth and grinding poverty.
Oakmont
Oakmont Borough is one of Pittsburgh's most distinctive suburban communities. It has old-fashioned charm and a wide variety of shopping and dining delights. Oakmont is only 14 miles northeast of downtown and easily accessible from Route 28 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Victorian houses, gas lights, brick streets, a clock tower, and a landscaped walking trail that threads through the business district make Oakmont a memorable place. Oakmont business owners are as unique as their stores and offer high-quality, personal service and small-town values.
Community events, a beautifully restored Carnegie Library, Riverside Park, Dark Hollow Preserve, and the Oakmont Country Club all contribute to Oakmont's unique character, often transforming visitors into residents.
