About Patterson Heights

Perched on the bluff directly above Beaver Falls, Patterson Heights is a tiny, peaceful borough with just over 600 residents. While it sits within the greater Pittsburgh metro area, life up on the hill feels comfortably tucked away from the busier valley below. Long ago, locals took a steep incline railway up and down the hillside, but today it is a quiet, tree-lined residential spot where neighbors enjoy leafy streets and great views of the Beaver River.

Patterson Heights cenotaph

Daily life has a close-knit feel, complete with a community park that hosts outdoor movie nights, playground playdates, and an annual Community Day. Students attend the well-regarded Blackhawk School District, and easy access to I-376 makes commuting into the city or running errands across the county straightforward. Living here also comes with some unexpected scenery, including bald eagles that regularly nest along the river bluffs.
