Get Directions

Neighborhood

Less than five miles east of Downtown Pittsburgh, Central Oakland is convenient to both the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. A mix of shops and restaurants line Atwood Avenue, the commercial center of this district, while many apartments for rent sit among the side streets.

Central Oakland shares its border with Schenley Park, a must for anyone who loves the outdoors. You can take part in a variety of sports at the Schenley Oval Sportsplex or walk among the flowers at the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. One of the highlights of Phipps, the Butterfly Forest, lets visitors enjoy enchanting views of butterflies flying freely throughout the glasshouse room.

Central Oakland provides a rich amount of food options. Stop by the Pittsburgh Popcorn Company for some free samples, or grab a hot dog at the Original Hot Dog Shop, a neighborhood institution since 1960. After your meal, walk along the streets and admire the renovated Victorian buildings.
