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.

Highland Park is a very welcoming neighborhood. The park itself is heavily used for recreation by many people. There is a small downtown area on Bryant Street with several good restaurants, a market and a pub. While there are some crime issues (especially cars being broken into), the area generally feels safe.
