Top Place to Live in
Pennsylvania

ith spring upon us, we would just like to pass along a
reminder to Borough residents and business owners
about the importance of maintaining their properties for
the betterment of our entire community. Our Borough has a
Property Maintenance Ordinance that, among other things,
prohibits the accumulation of rubbish or debris on a property
and grass/weeds in excess of 6 inches in height. This would
include items such as old building materials, tires, car parts,
indoor furniture kept outside and vehicles that do not have
a current registration and inspection. We routinely watch for
violations of this Ordinance, but would like to ask you to do
your part in keeping our Borough free of these kinds of issues
and continuing to make Jefferson Hills Borough a community
we can all be proud of.
F
or the second time in just over two years,
the Borough of Jefferson Hills has won honors as
a Best Place to Live in Pennsylvania.
WalletHub.com announced that Jefferson Hills
came in third out of 129 cities in PA as “Best Places for
Families to Live in PA.” The criteria for the award to find
the “most family friendly cities in PA” included an analysis
of 129 cities across four key dimensions: 1) Family Life &
Fun, 2) Education, Health & Safety, 3) Affordability, and
4) Socioeconomic Environment. Read more about this
honor and the criteria for the award at WalletHub.com.
In November 2013, the Borough was honored by
NerdWallet.com as the Best Place to Raise a Family in PA.
