Penguins City Guide

The Penguins skate and rehab at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry Township, roughly 25 minutes north of downtown Pittsburgh and PPG Paints Arena. This guide anchors everything to that practice facility: the affluent North Hills suburbs (Cranberry, Wexford, Marshall and Pine Townships) put privacy, top schools, and a short skate-day commute within a 20-minute radius, while the arena and city remain a manageable game-day drive south.

Where athletes actually live · beyond the 20-minute zone

The neighborhoods above sit inside a twenty-minute drive of UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex. But many athletes prioritize lifestyle, privacy, and prestige over commute — these are the areas across Pittsburgh where athletes most often buy and rent, even though they’re a longer drive from the facility.
