Attorney Michael H. Marks concentrates on the field of elder law in his Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, private practice, where he leverages more than 40 years of experience to assist clients with estate planning and associated issues. In addition, Michael H. Marks has devoted extensive time to volunteer service with a number of Pittsburgh-based, community-focused groups, among them the Greenfield Organization.
Now expanded as the Greenfield Community Association, the group works to promote the interests of the Greenfield neighborhood in the city’s 15th Ward.
Greenfield, situated southeast of downtown Pittsburgh, runs down Greenfield Avenue to the Monongahela River’s banks at 2nd Avenue. A walk through the hills of this vibrant community offers unexpected and stunning views of the city’s profile of buildings and skyline.
Traditionally a millworkers’ and steelworkers’ neighborhood, Greenfield is experiencing something of a renaissance due to an influx of younger professionals and graduate students looking for a quiet, family-oriented community and an easy commute.
Recent years have seen a number of first-time homebuyers moving into the older and very affordable homes in the area. The proximity to major employers, and to educational and cultural institutions such as Carnegie Mellon University and the Carnegie Museum of Art, only enhances the appeal. In fact, realtors have referred to Greenfield as one of Pittsburgh’s “best-kept secrets.”
