Herrs Island is a riverfront enclave on the Allegheny, also known as Washington’s Landing, where townhomes and condos meet boat slips, waterfront patios, and skyline views. Cyclists, runners, and dog walkers loop the island’s quiet streets and esplanades, then slip over the 31st Street Bridge for quick access to Pittsburgh and the market halls, galleries, and tech lofts of the Strip District. Formerly an industrial site, the island’s thoughtful redevelopment favors green space and an easygoing, active lifestyle without sacrificing city convenience.
Weekends revolve around the water. The Three Rivers Heritage Trail unfurls along the shoreline, the Three Rivers Rowing Association launches shells from its boathouse, and boaters tie up at Washington’s Landing Marina. After a paddle or spin, island regulars gather on the deck at Redfin Blues for baskets of seafood and sunsets over the river. Families appreciate the pocket parks and low traffic, while commuters value being minutes from Downtown, major hospitals, and universities. Students are served by Pittsburgh Public Schools, with magnet and specialized programs across the city and a robust slate of extracurriculars nearby.
