Lower Allegheny Valley
The Lower Allegheny Valley refers to the string of riverside communities along the Allegheny River northeast of Pittsburgh, with Oakmont as one of its best-known anchors. Oakmont itself is a borough of fewer than 7,000 residents, but it punches well above its size thanks to Oakmont Country Club, which has hosted multiple U.S. Open golf championships and draws national attention to the area.
Beyond the golf course, Oakmont and its neighboring river towns -- Verona, Plum, and the surrounding boroughs -- retain a classic small-town Allegheny Valley feel: walkable main streets, older housing stock, and a tight-knit commercial base that has weathered the broader region's industrial decline better than some areas.
The river itself remains a defining feature of this stretch, both recreationally and historically, and the valley's communities have increasingly leaned into that identity with marinas, riverfront recreation, and a steady stream of visitors tied to events like the U.S. Open.
A business in the Lower Allegheny Valley benefits from a loyal local customer base and, in towns like Oakmont, occasional surges of regional and national attention.
