Arnold offers river-town energy with a neighborhood feel, set along the Allegheny and moments from New Kensington. Streets lined with classic brick homes and porches speak to the city’s industrial heritage, while new cafes, parks, and community events keep everyday life convenient and social. Commuters appreciate quick connections to Pittsburgh, and families enjoy easy access to the broader amenities of Westmoreland County and nearby Lower Burrell.
Strong local schools anchor the community. The New Kensington–Arnold School District serves students from kindergarten through graduation, with Valley High School offering academics, arts, and athletics that bring the community together on Fridays and weeknights alike. Lifelong learning is close at hand through People’s Library and the regional Alle-Kiski Career and Technology Center, while higher education is right up the road at Penn State New Kensington.
Daily essentials are covered, from youth sports and fitness at the Valley Points Family YMCA to reliable care at Allegheny Valley Hospital. Getting around is straightforward with Westmoreland Transit linking the city to job centers, campuses, and shopping across the valley. Whether you’re drawn by the river views, neighborhood pride, or the promise of a manageable commute, Arnold delivers small-city convenience with room to grow.
