Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Forest Hills is home to the Westinghouse Atom Smasher, which was in operation until 1958 and is now one of the town's historic landmarks. But even if you don't feel like smashing any atoms, you can still find plenty of excitement here.

Forest Hills is about 10 miles outside of Center City Pittsburgh, covering 1.6 square miles. Finding rental housing may not be too challenging; however, you may find that the pricing is higher than average. Many of the residents are both educated and wealthy, and more established than the young professional crowd. This brings a distinct tenor to Forest Hills that, for the right person, could mean a long term rental.

Moving to Forest Hills

You may find that Forest Hills isn't the typical suburb of Pittsburgh, or a typical small town. It is one of the most well educated cities in the United States, with about half holding at least a bachelor's degree. To keep things in context, this compares to the entire United States where only 22 percent hold a bachelor's degree or higher.

This probably explains the higher than average per capita income, which in turn explains the higher than average pricing for rentals in apartment complexes. Rentals homes which might appeal to those looking for this type of rental may be hard to find. Keep this in mind as you begin your search.

While the pricing in Forest Hills is higher than elsewhere around Pittsburgh, you may find that the rules are more liberal when it comes to renters. A number of homes rent to those with pets.

Some of the housing will give you a representative snapshot of Forest Hills, such as Bryn Mawr Apartments, which has its own pool, but whose pricing isn't all utilities paid. Finding a studio apartment for rent in Forest Hills might not be easy, but there are some available.

Be ready to deal with more formalized processes, even when working with a private owner. You should expect to be ready to have a credit check and sometimes even a background check done. Of course, you may have to pay an application fee for this before someone decides to accept you.

These formalized processes usually follow definitive paths when it comes to what you'll need to have in order to sign a lease. This probably means that on day one, you'll need to write a check for the first month's rent, last month's rent and then a security deposit.

The other factor that you'll probably want to be ready to assume is that you'll be signing a lease for at least one year. Of course, in some circumstances the lease can be broken, but it will definitely cost you out of pocket.

Forest Hills Neighborhoods

Since Forest Hills is primarily a neighborhood of Pittsburgh, there are no specific divisions to speak of. But it is distinct, in and of itself. As the 207th largest community in Pennsylvania, Forest Hills has a definite character that you just may find appealing.

North Forest Hills: The northern section of Forest Hills has living options such as Bryn Mawr Apartments, which boasts a heated pool. It is easily accessed from 376 and 8/30.

South Forest Hills: There are several housing options available in the southern portion of Forest Hills, as well. Most notably, the Westinghouse Atom Smasher can be found in this part of town.

Living in Forest Hills

Forest Hills is basically like living in the heart of Pittsburgh, which means you'll be taking advantage of its rich culture and entertainment. Everything imaginable is available, from all of the major professional sports teams, to zoos, museums and a conservatory. Restaurants abound, ranging from all of the chain restaurants that you're probably familiar with, to some of Pittsburgh's notables, including Drew's, Roman Bistro 33 and Simple Gourmet. For those who want to take in a more quiet atmosphere, the Arboretum and four other parks are available.

Many of Forest Hills' residents take public transportation to get to work, and are commuting to their workplaces. You won't necessarily need a car to take advantage of Forest Hills' many restaurants as delivery services are plentiful as are eateries within walking distance. Renters will find the neighborhood full of shops that they might find in a mall, but owned and managed by business owners providing personalized services.

For those that have a desire to participate in intellectual pursuits, Forest Hills does connect with Pittsburgh's academic community.
