The West Hills[1] is a term generally used to collectively describe the western suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Though most communities are located southwest and west of the Ohio River, some of the West Hills area is located on the northern side of the river.
While there are no official boundaries of what communities are part of this Pittsburgh region, the following list of communities are considered to be part of the western hills area of Pittsburgh.
Once largely rural, the West Hills area has grown considerably since the addition of the Pittsburgh airport in 1951.
The airport's main terminal moved to Findlay Township in 1991 on land that once was a farm.
