Pleasant Hills is a great community to raise a family. However, the lack of diversity is honestly disgusting.

Pleasant Hills is a wonderful and friendly environment. People are usually engaging with their neighbors and peers or are enjoying different activities around the area. Small shopping centers are located frequently around here, and is easy to get to other places from the area.

Beautiful homes in all different price ranges, schools are rated good and the new high school is opening this fall. We have great championship sports teams for our Highschool/school district which is know as TJ but officially is West Jefferson Hills SD. We 5 mins to the beautiful South Park with bike trails, playground, dog park and wave pools. We're are starting to get a lot of new restaurants and a new Fresh thyme market.

A surprising number of residents grow up, go off to college, but return here to raise their families. Lots of dog walkers and dog lovers. Good amount of community events although facilities are limited. Well educated residents but our library is small, with a tiny parking lot.
