Top neighborhoods in Pittsburgh
Squirrel Hill South
What it’s like to live in Squirrel Hill South
Squirrel Hill South combines Jewish cultural heritage with exceptional access to universities and Schenley Park. Rental options include both classic apartment buildings and divided houses on tree-lined streets surrounding the walkable Forbes and Murray commercial district.

Shadyside
What it’s like to live in Shadyside
Medical residents choose Shadyside for good reason – the neighborhood sits walking distance to UPMC facilities while providing genuine separation from clinical environments after intense shifts. The area's vintage apartment buildings offer significantly more architectural character than sterile medical district housing, with details like leaded glass windows and decorative lobby details reflecting Pittsburgh's wealthy industrial past. Walnut Street's commercial district provides everything from coffee shops to pharmacies within walking distance, creating car-optional living rare in Pittsburgh's hilly topography. Unlike Oakland's undergraduate chaos, you'll find streets quiet enough for actual sleep between hospital rotations. Many buildings feature unexpected amenities like roof decks with downtown views, while the nearby Mellon Park offers green space perfect for mental health breaks between intense medical training experiences.

Bloomfield
What it’s like to live in Bloomfield
Italian heritage defines Bloomfield, where Pittsburgh's "Little Italy" centers around Liberty Avenue's authentic restaurants and specialty shops beyond tourist expectations. The district features primarily modest row houses and small apartment buildings at significantly more reasonable rates than neighboring Shadyside or Lawrenceville despite similar access to major employers including UPMC facilities. Though weekend activity occasionally creates parking challenges along commercial corridors, most residential streets maintain relatively manageable vehicle accommodation compared to denser Pittsburgh neighborhoods. The area's excellent public transportation includes multiple bus routes connecting to broader Pittsburgh destinations, while the relatively central location provides reasonable access to both downtown employment and East End cultural attractions without excessive commutes in either direction.

Explore Apartments for Rent in Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh is a highly desirable place to live, with a diversified economy, walkable neighborhoods, and multiple higher education options. Consistently ranked among America’s most livable cities and one of the best places to live in Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh offers a vibrant mix of urban amenities and natural beauty.
Nicknamed “The City of Bridges,” Pittsburgh is located at the meeting point of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers and has over 440 bridges within its city limits. These rivers divide the city into three main areas: the Golden Triangle, the North Side, and the South Side, each with a unique character.
In the Golden Triangle, residents enjoy 24 miles of riverfront trails, Point State Park (the only urban state park in the U.S.), and the iconic Three Rivers Arts Festival, one of the country’s largest free art celebrations. This district is popular for those who love outdoor activities and urban green spaces.
The North Side, a dream for sports enthusiasts, is home to Acrisure Stadium and PNC Park. It’s also rich in cultural landmarks like the Andy Warhol Museum and the Carnegie Science Center, making it a hub for the arts.
The South Side of Steel City is best known for East Carson Street, fondly called the Great American Main Street. A National Historic District, this avenue offers boutiques, galleries, and live music venues within the walls of beautiful Victorian buildings. This vibrant neighborhood is a favorite for nightlife and entertainment.
