Neighborhood

East Liberty is a neighborhood with a past, but with exciting changes capturing national attention, its bright future has everyone talking. Top publications have even named East Liberty one of the nation's top 10 up-and-coming neighborhoods. New mixed-use construction and historic buildings like the Kelly Strayhorne Theater and the old Nabisco factory combine to create a dynamic community that is considered one of the hippest in Pittsburgh.

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.
