In Pittsburgh its mostly on the Northern side and Western side with a line extending int Butler, however both SW and NE have some high income areas. Only the Southern and SE Pittsburgh suburbs don't really have any favored areas.
Historically, the favored quarter in the South Hills was Upper St Clair (and to a lesser extent Mt. Lebanon) and later on Peters Township as an exurban favored quarter. But since the former two got filled up quickly because they are relatively small and got built out quickly, I'd say that the favored areas of the South Hills aside from USC/Mt Lebanon are largely areas with golf course neighborhoods or near them.
