About Squirrel Hill

North

Squirrel Hill North, located between Schenley Park and Frick Park, is a residential and commercial Pittsburgh neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a walkable business corridor. Forbes Avenue and Murray Avenue concentrate the neighborhood’s character, where independent bookstores, old-school diners, specialty grocers, and sidewalk cafés keep the sidewalks busy. Community pillars include the Manor Theatre, the Squirrel Hill Market, and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh – Squirrel Hill. Brick and stone homes, including classic Pittsburgh foursquares and Tudor-inspired facades, line the hilly blocks. Green space frames daily routines via park trails and ballfields. Buses and bike routes connect the corridor to Oakland and Downtown.
