Dormont, PA Apartments for Rent

Dormont, located four miles south of Pittsburgh, combines historic charm with modern living. This independent borough, established in 1909, was the first municipality in Allegheny County's South Hills. Its name, derived from the French "mont d'or" (Mountain of Gold), reflects its elevated location. Despite covering just one square mile, Dormont features the Dormont Pool - one of Pennsylvania's largest public swimming pools - along with two parks and a commercial district on Potomac Avenue.

Residents benefit from convenient transportation options, including Pittsburgh's light rail system and proximity to the Liberty Tunnels, making downtown Pittsburgh easily accessible. Community spirit comes alive during annual celebrations like Dormont Day on July 4th and the Dormont Street and Music Festival. Housing options include apartments in classic brick buildings and converted homes, many dating to the early 20th century. With one-bedroom apartments averaging $849 per month (below the Pennsylvania median), Dormont offers value while maintaining close proximity to Pittsburgh.
