Observatory Hill, a neighborhood that offers something for everyone.
Observatory Hill, located on the Northside of Pittsburgh, boasts a tight-knit community, stately homes, a business district, historic Riverview Park, and the Allegheny Observatory. Beautiful mansions dating back to the 1800s line the streets and have been restored to their original splendor. The quaint business district also shows signs of restoration. The residents are proud of their community and have worked together to improve and restore their neighborhood. Each spring, people from all around the area come to see these beautiful homes and businesses during the Observatory Hill Annual House Tour.
