American Foursquares and Craftsman-style dwellings are the most popular, but quaint bungalows can be found scattered throughout. Many houses have porches, which create an ideal spot to sit and relax during the summer months. East Carnegie’s streets are lined with trees and often have city-maintained staircases in the steeper regions of the neighborhood. Most residents own their homes, and prices tend to begin at $120,000, with newly remodeled houses selling for over $200,000. “It’s a great area for first-time homebuyers,” says Diane McConaghy, associate broker and Realtor on the Diane McConaghy Team at RE/MAX. “That type of housing is attractive, and it's great for renters as well.”

Although East Carnegie is largely residential, nearby Main Street serves as the hub for commercial activity. “The street has a bunch of local, family-owned establishments and mom-and-pop stores,” says McConaghy. “You don’t see a lot of chains there.” Residents can peruse the shops and restaurants that line the central commercial corridor, including Riley’s Pour House, a classic Irish Pub with frequent live music and an outdoor patio. Across the street, early birds get their day started with tasty breakfast food at Bob’s Diner. Located on the other side of the neighborhood, Alexions Bar & Grill is a favorite eatery that has served specialty sandwiches and drafts on top since 1953.
