Beltzhoover is a neighborhood in southern Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in an area known as the South Hills.
The area has commonly been referred as up and coming, due to fact that the crime rate has decreased tremendously over the past ten years.
[citation needed] The neighborhood is currently the subject of a revitalization effort by local organizations, such as the Beltzhoover Consensus Group, the Hilltop Housing Initiative, and the Urban Redevelopment Authority.
The Beltzhoover School, 60,000 sq ft, was recently purchased by the BCG and will be renovated in the next several years to boost the economy of Beltzhoover.[when?]
Beltzhoover has four Pittsburgh neighborhood borders, including Mount Washington to the north and west, Allentown to the upper east, Knoxville to the mid and lower east, and Bon Air to the south and southwest.
