Uptown
Today the Uptown neighborhood, a 1.5-mile stretch between Oakland and Downtown Pittsburgh, is an eclectic mix of old-time residents, university students, artists, high-tech startup entrepreneurs, human service non-profits, multi-generational wholesale companies, and pioneering families with a penchant for transforming communities. Tucked into quaint streets are 19th century rowhomes in a range of conditions–many vacant, some at risk for demolition, and others nicely rehabbed. Great spans of temporary surface parking lots are ripe for development.
