map of St. Clair. The neighborhood of St. Clair was annexed by the city of Pittsburgh in 1920 and is an extremely unique neighborhood in the respect that there is no commerce in the area; St. Clair represents one of the last remaining entirely residential communities. The largest part of St. Clair residents live in 556 units in the Pittsburgh Housing Authority’s St. Clair Village, a 1950s housing initiative that is still inhabited today.
Despite its residential status, St. Clair is hardly isolated from the rest of the colorful Pittsburgh community. The neighborhood is bordered by the charming Mount Oliver, Carrick, and Arlington neighborhoods.
The sense of community in St. Clair is further established by the presence of an active tenant council, an athletic association and the beautiful Lighthouse Cathedral, a church established in 1992 by a veteran who served two tours of duty with the United States Army.
