I lived in Dormont until I was about a year-old. My parents rented an apartment here until they…read moremoved into a family-sized home in Brookline once my sister was conceived. Growing up, I always thought there to be something special about this neighborhood, which oddly enough is considered a suburb despite bordering Brookline and Beechview. Consistently a comfortable area,with so many business here, both recently opened and long-running, I think it's becoming even more livable as time goes on. I'll even predict publicly that Dormont will become the next happening area in the coming years. I strongly considered buying a house in Dormont, but the prices kept me at bay. However, failing to deter me from visiting are Eat 'n Park, The Dor-Stop, Sugar Cafe, Amazing Wok, Tom's Diner, Potomac Bakery, Katana, Mekong, Thai Spoon, Knossos Gyros, Cain's Saloon, Molly's, and Campiti's, all of them in unison offering a meal for every palate, budget, or mood. It doesn't matter if you want a hearty breakfast, a good burger, some piping hot pizza, donuts, sushi, dolmades, black sticky rice, wonton soup, pho, cappuccino or simply some excellent bar grub, Dormont has a restaurant to suit your tastes. Dormont also has two competing (warring?) entertainment shops (MIB Ninja and The Exchange are within doors of each other!), a pair of bookstores, and the wonderfully old-fashioned Hollywood Theatre where one can catch a cult-classic B-movie, the latest critically-acclaimed arthouse feature, or witness and possibly participate in the good-hearted debauchery of The Rocky Horror Picture show which runs fortnightly at 12AM sharp on weekends. An awesome, ever-improving neighborhood that is becoming more diverse by the day, Dormont manages to retain its quintessential South Hills coziness despite adjusting with the times. P.S. Rachel C, our peach of a Community Manager, bought a house in this area recently. Psst. Put up a review, commish!

It's a very clean area with their own fire and police department. Probably the most famous thing in Dormont is the Pool you see when driving along Banksville Road. The houses along Biltmore Ave all look alike, as do most of the houses in the neighborhoods. A really nice business district on Potomac and West Liberty Ave, nice restaurants, nice neighborhood bars, nice people.
