Why Live in Carnegie
Carnegie, a Pittsburgh suburb named after Andrew Carnegie, has undergone significant revitalization since the 2004 flood caused by Hurricane Ivan. The Carnegie Community Development Corporation has played a key role in the borough's recovery, resulting in a thriving Main Street business district with over 40 new businesses. Carnegie is culturally diverse, with more than 20 churches and worship centers, including Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox churches, an Islamic Center, a synagogue, and an Indian community center. The dining scene reflects this diversity, featuring a variety of ethnic restaurants such as Riley’s Pour House, Kabab House, and Seoul Korean BBQ. Main Street also hosts the Carnegie Crawl, a monthly event from May to October that promotes local shops and restaurants. For nightlife, Riley’s offers live music, and the Carnegie Free Library’s music hall provides various performances. Carnegie Park, home to one of the largest skateparks in the region, offers numerous outdoor activities including tennis, basketball, soccer, and DEK hockey. Annual events like the 5K Run/Walk, Cruising the Main car show, Carnegie Fall Fest, and Fourth of July fireworks foster community engagement. The borough is conveniently located between Downtown Pittsburgh, 6 miles away, and Pittsburgh Airport, 12 miles away, with easy access via Interstate 376 and I-79. Housing in Carnegie includes a mix of brick Colonials, Tudors, Dutch Colonials, Craftsman bungalows, and Victorians, with more contemporary styles in outlying areas.
