Named for the abundance of gray squirrels in the days of the early pioneers, Squirrel Hill is one of the city’s premier neighborhoods. Nestled between Frick Park and Schenley Park, two of Pittsburgh’s favorite green spaces, Squirrel Hill North is a quintessential family-friendly neighborhood. The neighborhood was even the inspiration for the beloved children's television show "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood," as Fred Rogers was a long-time resident. Along with excellent public and private schools, Squirrel Hill North is home to Carnegie Mellon University and Chatham University while the University of Pittsburgh is nearby as well. Residents can walk to the neighborhood’s restaurants and shops while Squirrel Hill South provides even more options along Murray Avenue. Frick Park has excellent trails while Schenley Park has an ice-skating rink, botanical gardens, and more. Rentals in this leafy locale include affordable studios, high-rise apartment buildings, and elegant brick mansions. Along with these amazing amenities, Squirrel Hill North boasts a central location and is only five miles east of Downtown Pittsburgh.

We have friendly neighbors on our street. We have our own facebook group where we can share ideas and information with one another. I feel safe in my neighborhood because we all look out for each other.

I lived here for three years before, and forgot how much I love Squirrel Hill. So much diversity, everything you need within walking distance. Right in the middle of the action and close to all the neighborhoods you would want to go.
