About Ford Cliff
Perched on a bluff overlooking the Allegheny River, Ford Cliff is a tiny, peaceful community in Armstrong County, roughly 40 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. With fewer than 400 residents spanning a handful of residential streets, it feels like a quiet neighborhood tucked above Ford City. While the town below grew around western Pennsylvania's historic glass manufacturing, Ford Cliff offers a slower, elevated retreat with scenic views of the river valley.
Living here offers a tucked-away setting close to everyday conveniences. Local diners, shops, and riverfront parks are a quick drive down the hill in Ford City, and the nearby Route 28 corridor connects you to Kittanning and the greater Pittsburgh area. For anyone seeking affordable small-town charm, minimal traffic, and easy access to outdoor recreation along the river, Ford Cliff is a cozy spot to call home.
