Bon Air (Pittsburgh)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bon Air is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's southside area. Its two zip codes are 15226 and 15210, and it is represented in the Pittsburgh City Council by the council member for District 4 (South Neighborhoods).

Bon Air is small in geographic size compared to the other communities in District 4, but its reputation, "Country living in the City" is well deserved. Existing as part of the City of Pittsburgh and only minutes away from the South Side and most of urban Pittsburgh, this community affords its residents the benefits of residing in a leafy "suburban" setting as well as the benefits of all that city life provides. Bon Air is well-served by its own "T" (light-rail) stop from which residents can be in Downtown Pittsburgh in mere minutes.

The neighborhood is a balanced mix of families, single persons, and senior citizens.
