Wilkinsburg

Wilkinsburg combines the close-knit scale of an independent borough with the urban energy of neighboring Pittsburgh in a way that reflects its position in Allegheny County. Set in the rolling uplands of the Allegheny Plateau, it developed along Penn Avenue, a long-established east–west route connecting Pittsburgh with communities to the east. The Wilkinsburg Historic District preserves streets of late-19th- and early-20th-century homes, churches and civic buildings, marking the borough’s industrial-era growth. The Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway also provides a direct public-transit link to Pittsburgh’s downtown and East End.
