The area now known as Stanton Heights wasn't even a
city neighborhood just over fifty years ago. Back then, it
was a private country club. The result is that this neighborhood
set at the top of Stanton Avenue, with the character of a
suburb, has new homes, quiet streets with little to no traffic,
and no commercial area at all. Before people lived in Stanton
Heights, they farmed and golfed there. Until the mid-1950s,
a large portion of the neighborhood was part of the Stanton Heights
Golf Course, the largest private course in the city. While Stanton Heights does not have its own neighborhood business district, residents have plenty
of shopping choices nearby. Grocery stores, dry cleaners, hardware stores, and pharmacies can be found in East Liberty, Bloomfield, and Squirrel Hill. A featured event is the Fun Festival held each summer.
