Why live in Deutschtown, a historic North Side neighborhood
In Deutschtown, also called East Allegheny, you can still find Pittsburgh's historic German heritage in the menus and events of long-time businesses. Centuries after developing as an immigrant enclave, the neighborhood has become a true melting pot of cultures, modern development and careful historic preservation thanks to the work of local entrepreneurs and the East Allegheny Community Council. The Deutschtown of today is vibrant, walkable and home to well-loved international eateries and intimate live music venues. Rich with its own hip hangouts, Deutschtown is also convenient to the North Shore’s major sports and cultural centers and downtown Pittsburgh.

What it costs to live in a historic North Side home
Part of Deutschtown is designated as a national, state and local historic district, but even blocks outside that boundary have an old-fashioned look. You’ll see rowhouses, detached and semi-attached homes in a mix of National and Victorian styles popular from the late 19th through early 20th centuries. Move-in-ready homes typically start in the mid-$200,000s and can range into the mid-$600,000s. Extreme fixer-uppers can list under $50,000. Between small multifamily properties and larger apartment complexes, more people in Deutschtown rent rather than own homes. If you own a property in the historic district, you’ll need to propose any exterior alterations to the city’s Historic Review Commission and adhere to design guidelines that preserve Deutschtown’s historic character.
Historic rowhouses are frequent across Deutschtown.
Many Deutschtown homes feature porches for warm-weather relaxing.

Walking, biking and busing around the North Side and all of PGH
“Deutschtown is right in front of the hospital. You can walk to watch the Pirates, the Steelers, go downtown, to the Strip District – it has great walkability,” says Heather Edmondson, a 13-year North Side specialist with the Keller Williams Exclusive Edmondson Real Estate Group. “Access to every major highway pretty much collides in the North Side. There are so many ways in and out. You get a great, accessible location and a great community.” Whether you’re getting around by foot, bike and Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus or driving down state Route 28 and Interstates 279 and 579, Deutschtown offers commutability to:
Allegheny General Hospital, just northwest
Downtown Pittsburgh, 1 mile away
Pittsburgh International Airport, roughly 15 miles from home
A busy business district on East Ohio Street
“Deutschtown is particularly up-and-coming,” Edmondson says. “The East Ohio business district has some huge, huge things happening. They’re redeveloping whole blocks at a time.” East Ohio Street is an old-fashioned commercial strip that has seen serious streetscape and business revitalization since Interstate 279 was built through the middle of Deutschtown. It has become well-known for its diverse eateries, specialty shops and nightlife spots. Some favorites include:
Farmer’s Daughter Flowers, a curated flower and gift shop
Fig & Ash, known for high-end American fare and cool, contemporary ambiance
Subba, a cozy spot for Nepalese cuisine
The Park House, a historic neighborhood bar that hosts live music
Other community staples pop up on corners throughout the neighborhood, including Max’s Allegheny Tavern, known for German dishes. Penn Brewery, Pittsburgh's oldest brewery, serves craft German-style beer year-round and during a popular Oktoberfest celebration. Allegheny Elks Lodge #339 welcomes non-members to order drinks and watch the Pittsburgh Banjo Club’s performances on Wednesday evenings, affectionately called Banjo Night. Deutschtown’s Giant Eagle is the North Side’s main grocery store.
Fig & Ash is a top rated Deutschtown dinner spot.
Bistro To Go is a longtime Deutschtown favorite on East Ohio Street.

An energetic community with frequent farmers markets and events
Part of the high-energy, close-knit feeling that Deutschtown enjoys is because of a busy event schedule. A farmers market pops up under the trees at Allegheny Commons Park on Fridays from May through November. July's Northside Music Festival is a free, multi-day celebration that schedules musical acts of all genres across several stages. Pumpkinfest has been a beloved children’s fall festival for over 30 years, drawing thousands for a day of seasonal crafts, games and rides. You’re also less than 2 miles from the North Side’s riverfront professional sports venues: PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Acrisure Stadium, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Getting outside at Allegheny Commons Park, nearby bike trails
Allegheny Commons Park has been a central green space for the North Side since it was part of a separate city called Allegheny in the 18th century. Across hundreds of acres of former shared grazing land, you can now wave to neighbors on the paved walking paths around Lake Elizabeth, take a dip in the public pool, tend a plot in the community gardens or use a handful of athletic courts and playgrounds. The National Aviary and Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh are popular daytrip destinations in and around the park. You can bike down toward the Allegheny River to join other cyclists on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail.
