Mount Lebanon, PA
Mount Lebanon developed substantially in the early 20th century as one of Pittsburgh's first streetcar suburbs, with the Pittsburgh Railways Company's Beechview-Mount Lebanon line, opened in 1913, connecting the growing community directly to downtown Pittsburgh and shaping much of its early residential development pattern along the rail corridor. That streetcar line has survived essentially intact into the present day as part of the Pittsburgh Regional Transit light rail system, making Mount Lebanon one of the relatively few American suburbs still served by a rail transit line dating back more than a century to the original streetcar era. The community's Uptown business district, built along Washington Road near the light rail station, has retained a walkable, small-town commercial character that's stood in contrast to the more purely residential development found in some neighboring South Hills communities. Mount Lebanon's combination of a rare, still-operating century-old streetcar-to-light-rail transit connection and a walkable Uptown commercial core has made it one of the more historically continuous and consistently desirable suburbs anywhere in Pittsburgh's South Hills region.
VS
Cranberry Township, PA
Cranberry Township has grown dramatically since the 1980s and '90s from a largely rural area north of Pittsburgh into one of the fastest-growing and most commercially significant suburbs in the entire region, driven substantially by its position directly along Interstate 79 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. That highway access has drawn substantial corporate office and retail development to the township, transforming what had been agricultural land into a significant employment center in its own right, rather than a purely residential bedroom community dependent on commuting into downtown Pittsburgh. The township's population has grown so quickly that it's had to continually expand school capacity and municipal services over recent decades, a growth pattern that's made Cranberry Township a frequently cited example of rapid suburban expansion in a broader Pittsburgh region that's otherwise seen relatively slow overall population growth. Cranberry Township's combination of significant highway-driven corporate development and one of the most dramatic sustained growth rates of any Pittsburgh-area suburb has made it one of the more economically significant and rapidly evolving communities anywhere north of the city.
