Neighborhood

Nestled between Schenley Park and Frick Park in the city's East End, Squirrel Hill is considered one of Pittsburgh's most popular neighborhoods. Although the city divides the neighborhood into Squirrel Hill North and Squirrel Hill South, locals tend to treat the area as one sprawling entity.

Squirrel Hill South's stability remains part of its appeal, as do its rolling hills, walkable business district on Murray Avenue, excellent schools, and tranquil streets. With homes ranging from mid-rise apartments to ornate mansions, rental options are available for a wide variety of different tastes and budgets.

Squirrel Hill South's historic charm combined with an easy-going attitude makes it a great place to live. Proximity to multiple universities makes the community an ideal location for students, faculty, and staff. Carnegie Mellon University and Chatham University sit in Squirrel Hill North, and to the west lies the University of Pittsburgh in Oakland.
