Community

In the July 2006 issue of Pittsburgh Magazine, Brookline was featured in an article entitled: “10 Neighborhoods You Need to Know About”. There are 130 municipalities in Allegheny County and over 80 distinct neighborhoods in Pittsburgh alone, but Brookline easily met the criteria of good housing stock, affordability, ease of commute and shopping, and most of all a strong sense of community. Brookline is the second largest neighborhood within the City of Pittsburgh with over 23,000 residents. The community has a strong core of youth activities, political activism, civic and religious organizations as well as amenities such as two city parks and a newly renovated Carnegie library. It has the convenience of a Mainstreet style business district with 90 businesses along a one mile stretch of Brookline Boulevard. Brookline is great place for individuals and families who are seeking undiscovered value through good urban demographics and housing stock, easy access to all major roads, a main street business district, a great library, a strong program of extra-curricular sports for kids and a sense of community for all of us who want Brookline to continue to thrive.
