what are some of your favorite neighborhoods to drive through to view beautiful Christmas lights on houses?


I am familiar with Ogle Bay and Butler Fairgounds . I'm looking for a neighborhood drive.

I know there's a charming display on Fairley Road by Eden Christian Academy in the North Hills.

Just be sure to drive through the nearby housing clusters off of Siebert as a palate cleanser.

The display at Fairley road still has a Santa Claus in the driveway (at least on google maps), so it IS still technically a Christmas display
A year round one too!!!

10 or so years ago, the guy who owned the house would put up an elaborate christmas light display.. People would drive around the house & he would have a "donate to charity" (salvation army & childrens hospital) box at the end..

A couple of the neighbors forced him to shut him down because it caused them a minor inconvenience (one neighbor didn't like the lights in their dining room window & one didn't like the flow of traffic)

Since he was forced to shut it down, he has done this to get back at them.. They destroyed his lively-hood so he is destroying their property values in return..

(IMO both sides are in the wrong & brought it upon themselves by refusing to compromise)

I've been looking for something in Pittsburgh similar to Dyker Heights in Brooklyn, but haven't yet found it.

However, I took my family to the Clinton Christmas lights (Christmas Light Up Celebration) and would strongly recommend checking it out. It is right off 376 past the airport, and for $10 bucks a carload, you get about a 20-minute drive through the Clinton Community Park. Apparently they offer hayrides through the park as well, but I just drove through. I thought it was better than Ogelbay, which I went to last year.
