More About North Hills
The North Hills of Pittsburgh is widely regarded as the region’s most balanced and accessible suburban hub, defined primarily by its “tunnel-free” commute into the city via I-279. The area remains a premier destination for families due to the presence of North Allegheny, consistently ranked as one of the top school districts in the nation, alongside other high-performing systems like Hampton and North Hills. Residents enjoy an exceptional quality of life anchored by the 3,000-acre North Park, which serves as a massive recreational center for kayaking, cycling, and hiking. Combined with the massive retail and dining corridor along McKnight Road, the North Hills offers a seamless blend of top-tier amenities, outdoor space, and logistical convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is considered the "North Hills"?
It’s a broad collection of townships and boroughs directly north of the city limits, including Ross Township, McCandless, Franklin Park, Hampton, and Shaler. While each has its own flavor, they are collectively known for their hilly terrain, excellent infrastructure, and strong suburban feel.
What is the main draw for people moving here?
The “Tunnel-Free Commute.” Unlike the South Hills or the West, residents of the North Hills can drive into Downtown via I-279 (Parkway North) without going through a major tunnel. This significantly reduces “Pittsburgh traffic stress” and makes the commute more predictable.
How are the schools?
The North Hills is home to some of the most respected public schools in the state.
- North Allegheny (NA): Consistently ranked as the #1 school district in the Pittsburgh area for 2026, NA is a massive district known for its diverse academic and athletic opportunities.
- Hampton & North Hills SD: These districts also rank highly, offering smaller class sizes and a strong sense of community pride.
Is there much to do outdoors?
Yes—the North Hills “crown jewel” is North Park. At over 3,000 acres, it features a massive lake for kayaking, a 5-mile paved loop for biking, an ice rink, and one of the largest swimming pools in the United States. It is the social and recreational heart of the region.
Where do people shop?
The North Hills is the shopping capital of the region. McKnight Road is the main artery, featuring everything from everyday essentials to the high-end Ross Park Mall (home to Nordstrom, Apple, and luxury brands). If you live here, you never have to travel far for retail or dining.
