Neighborhood

Named for the abundance of gray squirrels in the days of the early pioneers, Squirrel Hill is one of the city’s premier neighborhoods. Nestled between Frick Park and Schenley Park, two of Pittsburgh’s favorite green spaces, Squirrel Hill North is a quintessential community. The neighborhood was even the inspiration for the beloved children's television show "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood," as Fred Rogers was a long-time resident. Along with excellent public and private schools, Squirrel Hill North is home to Carnegie Mellon University and Chatham University while the University of Pittsburgh is nearby as well. Residents can walk to the neighborhood’s restaurants and shops while Squirrel Hill South provides even more options along Murray Avenue. Frick Park has excellent trails while Schenley Park has an ice-skating rink, botanical gardens, and more. Rentals in this leafy locale include affordable studios, high-rise apartment buildings, and elegant brick mansions.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
