Why choose Bloomfield, in Pittsburgh’s East End
Bloomfield is an East End neighborhood known as “Pittsburgh’s Little Italy.” A welcome sign, annual festival and legacy Italian eateries preserve this proud heritage. But Bloomfield has also blossomed into a diverse community full of updated historic properties and new, trendy businesses, thanks to the nearby industry giants fueling the Steel City’s modern redevelopment. Along blocks where residents once walked to steel mills and factories, a blend of young professionals, college students and families enjoy living close to the hospital, university and commercial districts of the East End. A short drive or bus trip across the Bloomfield Bridge connects you to the rest of Pittsburgh's cutting-edge medical, educational, tech, corporate and cultural centers.
Bloomfield's residential blocks are located just a short drive from downtown.
Paved sidewalks make Bloomfield very walkable.

Walking to restaurants, nightlife and cool shops on Liberty Avenue
Between well-known walkable commercial districts in Shadyside and Lawrenceville, Bloomfield’s own small businesses more than hold their own. While you can find restaurants, shops and nightlife in historic commercial buildings throughout the neighborhood, most line Liberty Avenue. Just a handful of local gems include:
Angelo’s Pizzeria, a family-run joint to grab a slice or a hoagie
Tessaro’s, a bar and grill known for massive, award-winning burgers
White Whale Bookstore, a venue for browsing, literary events and latte sipping
Apteka, a cozy spot for vegan Eastern European fare
Lot 17, a rustic bar for American grub or a drink after dark
You can get groceries at Aldi and Bloomfield Community Supermarket close to home. The Bloomfield Saturday Market brings fresh produce and artisan goods to the community each week in the warmer months, but has a less frequent schedule through the winter.
Liberty Avenue is lined with shops and restaurants.
Diners head to Pleasure Bar for signature Italian dishes.

Bloomfield’s famous heritage festival, Little Italy Days
More than 100,000 visitors flock to Liberty Avenue each August for Little Italy Days, Pittsburgh’s largest heritage festival. The festival runs for four days, filling the roadway with flapping Italian flags, stages where bands and opera singers perform and vendors serving Italian specialties and other fair food. You can check the festival schedule to find out when special events, such as celebrity bocce tournaments and the Miss Little Italy Pageant, are taking place.
Rooftop bars, street vendors and games are some attractions at Little Italy Days.
Marching bands from the area turn out for the Columbus Day Parade.

How houses and prices compare to other parts of the East End
“Bloomfield and Lawrenceville developed the housing stock they have because they were workers’ houses. Shadyside had more of the bosses and the owners of businesses,” says Joseph Pegher, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices who’s served the Pittsburgh area for over 12 years. Rowhouses and semi-attached homes built in the early 1900s line up along the sidewalk on many streets. Detached houses also offer very little space between neighbors. Most homes have a very simple, boxy look, but some were built in grand Victorian styles or have undergone major modern renovations. Move-in-ready homes with three or fewer bedrooms sell from the upper $100,000s to the upper $400,000s. Houses with four or more bedrooms can range from the mid-$400,000s to the lower $900,000s. Yard space and off-street parking are scarce, so you may need to obtain a parking permit from the city. Bloomfield’s median sale price is in the upper $300,000s, lower than the medians in Lower Lawrenceville and Central Lawrenceville. It’s roughly a third of Shadyside's median. Investors have turned some of Bloomfield’s historic homes into multi-family properties. More people rent than own in Bloomfield.
Pitched-roof row homes are a common style in Bloomfield.

How people get around the East End and the rest of Pittsburgh
"You could ride a bike, take Ubers and walk to pretty much anything you wanted. Especially if you have a job in the area or work from home,” Pegher says. “It’s mostly flat, for Pittsburgh.” West Penn Hospital and UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh are walkable to much of Bloomfield. Whether traveling by foot, bike, Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus or car, you’re close to many of the Steel City’s cultural and commuter hubs:
Shadyside, 1 mile away, known for trendy shopping and UPMC Shadyside hospital
Oakland, 3 miles away, has hospitals and colleges like the University of Pittsburgh
Downtown Pittsburgh, 4 miles away, a corporate and entertainment center
Pittsburgh International Airport, around 20 miles from home
Many Bloomfield residents bike through the neighborhood's streets.
The best way to travel in and out of Bloomfield is by PRT buses.

Living near pocket parks and major PGH regional recreation

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Since moving here about a month or so ago, we've found the neighborhood to be very walkable, with restaurants, stores and grocery outlets very handy. The areas away from the traffic of Penn and Liberty streets are quiet.terrific. The Saturday farmers market is terrific. I would have given the neighborhood a 5 star rating but it is fairly well isolated from any sizeable park or green space.

There are a lot of things to do around here. Plenty of shops, restaurants, dance studios, art studios, tattoo shops, community center, grocery store, to major hospitals (one being a pediatric hospital).

Bloomfield is very artistic. There are events in the summer. My neighbors are very friendly. There's good restaurants and shops. I find it to be safe at night and well located to other places walking distance.
