1150 Bower Hl

The Bower Hill cooperative in the Pittsburgh suburbs is a mid-century residential complex completed in 1968 that primarily offers two-bedroom co-op units, including bi-level and penthouse configurations. The architecture reflects practical, low-rise institutional design with landscaped grounds and multiple clusters of living wings rather than a single tower. Interiors typically include elevators and intercom access; individual units feature built-in pantry or storage areas, generous closet space, and window treatments, with many residences renovated over time to add granite or solid-surface counters, updated appliances, and modernized baths. Shared facilities are extensive and oriented to active, outdoor-oriented lifestyles: an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, a nine-hole putting green, walking paths, picnic groves, and large common lawns across roughly 17 acres. Indoor common spaces include a party/meeting room, an exercise room, laundry facilities on the lower level, and 24-hour security. Parking is provided with assigned indoor/underground spaces and adjacent storage lockers on corresponding floors. The co-op’s monthly maintenance fee is notable for covering nearly all operating costs—property taxes, water, sewage, gas and electric, and exterior maintenance—while a strict no-pets policy is consistently enforced. Located in the Mt. Lebanon/Bower Hill area, the setting emphasizes a gated, community-oriented suburban lifestyle with easy access to neighborhood amenities and local roadways.
