Some interesting data in this roundup of highest home value increases by zipcode:

Some of the usual suspects are high on the list, but I was interested to look at the difference between 1 year and 5 year percentages, to spot which places might be seeing accelerating interest. 15213 (Oakland), 15212 (North Side), and 15214 (Perry etc.) are all standouts by this analysis. Interestingly, so are 15112 (East Pittsburgh), 15045 (Glassport), 15207 (Hazelwood et al), 15110 (Duquesne), 15104 (Braddock), 15037 (Elizabeth), 15025 (Clairton), 15132 and 15135 (McKeesport), 15145 (Turtle Creek), 15137 (North Versailles), and 15148 (Wilmerding).
That is a whole lot of Mon Valley love, right there. Early days yet, but could be interesting if that trend continues.
Edit: By the way, with the notable exception of Mt. Lebanon, Pittsburgh's most expensive suburbs/exurbs are generally nowhere to be found on this list of the hottest 50 zipcodes in the area. Not that those folks are necessarily hurting, but it is interesting that if you are looking for the best financial return on your investment, those might not be the places to look these days.
