Greenfield is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.
In 1758, a large tract of woodland was purchased for $10,000 under the Treaty of Fort Stanwix made with the Native-Americans. This area included what became Greenfield and neighboring Hazelwood, By the late 1800s, many of Greenfield's residents were of Irish, Polish, Slovak, Italian, Hungarian, and Carpatho-Rusyn descent. They resided in Greenfield and traveled to Hazelwood, Homestead and Duquesne to work in the steel mills.
Greenfield contains two small business districts along Greenfield Avenue and Murray Avenue. A major travel route is along Beechwood Boulevard, connecting I-376 to the Waterfront shopping district in Homestead. A predominantly residential neighborhood, Greenfield is known among locals for very steep hills, a chaotic street grid off the main roads, and a preponderance of single lane 2-way streets, which does not usually lead to congestion as the neighborhood is not heavily traveled.
