Garfield pairs hillside streets and creative energy on the eastern side of Pittsburgh, bordered by Bloomfield, Friendship, East Liberty, and Lawrenceville. Along Penn Avenue, the Penn Avenue Arts District anchors galleries, studios, and monthly art crawls, while the nearby Kelly Strayhorn Theater and community makerspace Assemble fuel a steady calendar of performances, workshops, and STEAM programs. Longtime residents and newer arrivals mingle at coffee shops, pop-up markets, and neighborhood block events, giving everyday errands a creative twist.
Families will find access to Pittsburgh Public Schools, with magnets and specialized programs a short hop away, plus story times, tech resources, and quiet study spaces at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Commuting is straightforward: frequent routes on Penn and Negley connect with Pittsburgh Regional Transit to downtown, universities, and Oakland’s hospitals, as well as trails and ballfields in Highland Park. World-class pediatric care sits minutes away at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Housing ranges from classic brick rowhouses to updated infill, many with sunset views over the Allegheny plateau, and everyday conveniences in adjacent business districts keep errands close to home.
Whether you’re eyeing a first home or planning a move within the city, Garfield offers creativity, convenience, and community in equal measure—and when it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a great local real estate agent to guide the process.
