Uptown, also know as the Bluff, is located in the midtown corridor surrounded by the Hill District, Oakland and Downtown neighborhoods.

Uptown is within walking distance to the cultural, recreational and commercial amenities of Downtown. Beautiful brick row houses, brimming with architectural amenities, abound in the neighborhood.

Uptown is a diverse community, ranging from long time residents, university students, health professionals, and Downtown workers who all enjoy the convenience of the neighborhood.

Positioned at the crossroads of several thriving development areas, like the Consol Energy Center, the first LEED-certified hockey arena, UPMC-Mercy Hospital expansion, Duquesne University expansion, and multiple Hill District developments, Uptown is on the verge of a major revitalization.
