Top publications have even named East Liberty one of the nation's top 10 up-and-coming neighborhoods.

Located northeast of downtown, East Liberty sits not far from the major medical centers at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. This neighborhood features a variety of housing options ranging from high-rise apartments to townhomes and historic Victorians. By integrating old and new construction, East Liberty manages to have a modern edge while maintaining the feel of a classic Pittsburgh neighborhood.

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.
