Uptown Pittsburgh, also known as The Bluff, is a 1.5-mile stretch of land between Downtown and Oakland, two well-known neighborhoods in the city. Situated along Monongahela River with convenient access to major interstates like US-30, residents have quick and easy access to major commercial districts, such as Downtown Pittsburgh. So close, in fact, you could probably walk to work!
Duquesne University covers the majority of the west section of the neighborhood, making Uptown a great option for both potential students and faculty. Residents have many options for schooling, including the Pittsburgh Public School District, a highly rated district for such an urban area.
Uptown has its own commercial district that mainly centers around the university, with many residential rowhouses lining nearby streets. The quaint streets of Uptown offer a sense of rich charm and history with an eclectic culture. Uptown boasts a great variety of entertainment options—catch a Penguins game or a live concert at PPG Paints Arena, grab a late night snack at Buford’s Kitchen, or venture over to Downtown and explore Market Square!
