Quiet residential community along the Ohio River

Marshall-Shadeland is a quiet community in Pittsburgh's Northside area known for its intentionally planned rows of 20th-century foursquare and frame homes along the banks of the Ohio River. In true Pittsburgh area fashion, homes are situated on modest lots along sloping roads. The neighborhood is mainly residential, but a few stand-out shops and restaurants dot the town.

American foursquares and frame houses dominate Marshall-Shadeland

Popular architectural styles include American Foursquares with dormers and covered front porches, two-story frame houses with sharply peaked roofs, quaint cottages with brick facades and asymmetrical entryways, and Dutch Colonial Revivals with gambrel roofs. Most homes here were built between the late-1800s and mid-1900s, meaning they are in various conditions. "California-Kirkbride and Marshall-Shadeland are made up of a lot of investors that rent to people," says Anthony Dasta, a Senior Advisor with Re/Max Select Realty's The Anthony Dasta Group. Fixer-uppers can start for as little as $14,000, while well-maintained or fully renovated homes go for between $100,000 and $250,000. Occasionally, a townhouse will also appear on the market, selling for between $125,000 and $235,000.
