Top neighborhoods in Pittsburgh
Southside Slopes
What it’s like to live in Southside Slopes
As the name suggests, Pittsburgh's Southside Slopes climbs the hillside above bustling East Carson Street, rewarding residents with stunning city views. The neighborhood's famous public staircases serve as actual streets, creating a unique urban hiking experience between your door and local hangouts. Apartments in these historic hillside houses often feature decks or porches showcasing panoramic vistas. The steep terrain means parking can be challenging, especially in winter weather, and grocery runs require planning. Perfect for those who value unique character and dramatic views over everyday convenience, particularly if you appreciate a workout just getting home!Great for

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.Great for

South Oakland
What it’s like to live in South Oakland
Student energy permeates South Oakland, where rentals near University of Pittsburgh host porch parties that test noise ordinances and neighbors' patience. The Panther Hollow Trail provides hangover-curing nature walks but becomes treacherously icy during winter months. Affordable housing comes with trade-offs: shared utilities often mean unreliable hot water during peak shower times, and limited grocery options force reliance on Forbes Street Market's higher-priced convenience items. The area's collegiate atmosphere means plentiful free lectures and cultural events, though summer brings a welcome quiet when students depart.Great for

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.
