East Liberty blends historic grandeur with forward-looking energy, set just east of Pittsburgh in the heart of Allegheny County. Stately landmarks share the street with creative startups, indie coffeehouses, and global eateries, making daily life feel both convenient and full of discovery. Neighbors stroll to performances at the boundary-pushing Kelly Strayhorn Theater and admire the soaring Gothic architecture of the “Cathedral of Hope,” the East Liberty Presbyterian Church, which also hosts community programs and concerts.
Retail and recreation fit seamlessly into the rhythm here. Bakery Square’s restored brick buildings buzz with offices, shops, and dining—perfect for a lunch break or weekend wander—courtesy of Bakery Square. Grocers, boutique fitness studios, and everyday essentials line Penn Avenue and Centre Avenue, while leafy streets connect easily to the reservoirs and trails of nearby Highland Park. For a night out, the restaurants of Shadyside are a quick stroll or bike ride away.
Families appreciate strong educational options, including Pittsburgh Public Schools’ internationally focused Obama Academy (6–12), plus several nearby early-learning centers and independent schools. Commuters benefit from the East Busway station for swift trips downtown, bike lanes that knit together daily errands, and a grid that rewards car-free living.
