One of Pittsburgh’s finest parks right in your backyard.

Park Waterfront Historic Walkable Schools

The dominant feature of Pittsburgh’s Highland Park neighborhood is that namesake park itself, a massive public greenspace that almost completely encircles the residential portion of the community. Residents enjoy an environment filled with playgrounds, sports facilities, gardens, footpaths, bike trails, scenic waterfront views, and the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium.

The residential section of the neighborhood is full of historic homes and buildings, with some of the finest architecture clustered around the Historic District on the southwest side. Centrally located within the community, Bryant Street is where you’ll find many of the local storefront shops and cafes, with a broader selection just a few blocks south in the East Liberty area. With a wide selection of public and private schools close by, Highland Park is an excellent option for families.

A family friendly neighborhood filled with beautiful architecture, diverse and unique families of all backgrounds and lifestyles, and an overall healthy environment to raise children in. What once was known as the neighborhood next to the zoo, is now the "hotspot" for couples wishing to bring up a family in a safe and loving environment.
