A charming South Pittsburgh suburb
Folks are keeping an eye on Carrick, a neighborhood for people who want the best of both worlds: peaceful residential life and big-city adventures. This sprawling community can be found on the south side of Pittsburgh, less than 5 miles from downtown. Its narrow streets climb Pennsylvanian hills, lined by sidewalks and parallel parked cars. “Compared to other Pittsburgh neighborhoods, the homes are affordable,” says Realtor Sancha Rai from Team Sancha Man and Sharon Gurung. “And they’re quite charming. Older and charming.” With its own parks, community hubs and shopping area, Carrick is a strong choice for living in the Steel City.

Victorians, Tudors and American Foursquares
A variety of architectural styles can be found in the hills of Carrick. From Victorians and American Foursquares built around 1900 or earlier to midcentury Tudor Revivals and bungalows, homebuyers can peruse all kinds of unique charm. At $139,882, Carrick’s median home value sits lower than the national average of $244,000. Overall prices range between $48,000 and $282,000. Though the neighborhood features larger front and backyards than those found closer to downtown, lot sizes are still relatively small, averaging a little more than a tenth of an acre.

Phillips Park
There are a couple of green spaces in Carrick, putting outdoor recreation and relaxation within walking distance of many properties. Phillips Park is the neighborhood’s largest green space. Its dense woods make it a gorgeous hub in the fall when the leaves turn shades of red, orange and yellow. This park is home to multiple playgrounds, a disc golf course, scenic trails and overlooks. Due north, Volunteers Field is a smaller spot, ideal for practicing pitches with its three ballfields.

Along Brownsville Road
Brownsville Road is Carrick’s main street, lined by some shopping options and local watering holes. Options for grabbing groceries include Shop ‘n Save and Uni-Mart. Carrick Inn has bar bites, good drinks and even better company. Local bookworms can enjoy peace and quiet at the neighborhood’s branch of the Carnegie Library, a huge community resource for the Pittsburgh area. And, still off Brownsville Road, the Carrick Community Pavilion is a huge outdoor venue that hosts farmers markets in the summer and fall, food trucks, live music, flea markets and other community events.

PRT buses and Denise T Station
“Carrick’s a suburban area, but it’s near city facilities and attractions,” Rai says. “It’s nice for people who use public transportation to get to downtown.” PRT bus stops can be found up and down Brownsville Road, and the Denise T Station is in the neighborhood as well, so carless commutes are a breeze for residents. As for those driving, Route 51 borders Carrick’s west side and connects to the Liberty Tunnels less than 2 miles up the road. Commutes to and from downtown are typically less than 5-mile trips.

We bought our house a few months ago. I love that I could afford my home. My neighbors are nice, and I can walk to many businesses/services. We are on the border of Brentwood and feel we get the best of both communities. While Carrick is in need of some revitalization, I can see it happening. The library is new. New businesses are opening, and the Community Council is dedicated to improving our community. For those concerned about safety, I've been walking my dog around 10-10:30pm every night without issue.

I moved from the city of Las Vegas where the school districts were not up to par. I moved to Carrick where it was not the best school in the city of Pittsburgh by any means, but it's where I grew up and how I have become who I am today. Street smarts are something I have acquired living in the Carrick neighborhood, but having a school available to me and provided with a FREE education is something I am thankful for and I hope to make a difference as a teacher advocate for the Pittsburgh public schools
