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.

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.
