A true gem of a community, Fineview sits above Allegheny General Hospital. Its gently sloping grounds are fixed in the hillsides of the northern slopes of Pittsburgh. It is a part of zip code 15214 in Allegheny County.

This historic neighborhood was originally called Nunnery Hill for the convent that once existed here. It is well known for its famous streetcar line #21 that ran from 1951 to 1966.

Fineview is home to the annual Fineview Step Challenge, a 4.5 mile race that challenges its participants on the naturally elevated steps of Fineview.
