Like Ocean City, NJ and Wilkinsburg.

Well, you're half right. The map snippet you posted is in Green Tree. The picture you posted is in Pittsburgh.

You may both be right. My friends who lived in Franklin Park (until the vertical signage became more than they could bear) had Pittsburgh, PA, 15237 as their zip code, but they did not pay Pgh taxes.

This argument could have been avoided if you'd just posted a picture of one of the many Stanton Heights cul-de-sacs. I'm very disappointed in all of you

Red Oak and Silver Oak are streets split between the city and Green Tree Borough, the city limits are a straight line slicing straight across. The Greentree/City area was always a favorite section of the city for supervisors in city hall so they could maintain Pittsburgh residency.


A similar kind of city limits line is drawn in the east in Regent Square.

Yes, but if a property is listed as within the 20th ward of Pittsburgh, that means it's within the boundaries of Pittsburgh / they pay taxes to Pittsburgh. There are plenty of sidewalk-less cul-de-sacs within Pittsburgh -- in New Homestead, far northern Brighton Heights, some of Summer Hill, some of Overbrook and Banksville, Stanton Heights, some of the West End neighborhoods, etc. You can't deny that. But that isn't generally what people are referring to when they refer to "the city," in the same way that Braddock is not generally what people are referring to when they refer to "the suburbs."
