Braddock

Braddock is a historic borough located along the Monongahela River, known for its industrial roots and ongoing revitalization efforts. Once a key steelmaking center, Braddock is now emerging as a community focused on growth and renewal, with local initiatives supporting the arts, small businesses, and urban agriculture. The borough offers unique historic landmarks, including the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, and is home to a growing number of creative spaces and cultural projects. Braddock Avenue runs through Braddock, and reaches to North Braddock and East Pittsburgh. As the business district of these three communities, there exist opportunities to take advantage of the Monongahela River, recreational offerings, and the City of Pittsburgh to the west. Braddock’s rich history and evolving landscape make it a distinctive community for those seeking to be part of its revitalization.
