Why live in Morningside, in Pittsburgh’s East End
Morningside is a neighborhood high above the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh ’s East End. Its sidewalks connect blocks lined by historic homes, local businesses, parks and bus stops. That kind of walkable, transit-accessible lifestyle has fueled the East End’s growing popularity, but Morningside’s distance from major tech, healthcare and education employers has helped to keep housing costs a little lower. Beyond financial and commuting calculations, Morningside is also full of the kinds of quirks that long-time residents and newcomers love: an active local bocce league, a soccer fan-friendly pub and a slate of annual events put on by a historic church and modern community council.
Take your best friends for a walk through Morningside.
Morningside is full of brick homes in a multitude of different styles.

Costs for historic homes compared to the rest of the East End
Morningside’s dense city blocks are full of the detached National, Craftsman and Victorian single-family homes that were built in Pittsburgh’s streetcar suburbs from the late 1800s through the early 1900s. There are also pockets of rowhouses and semi-detached houses. Depending on the street and what side of it you live on, your house might be level with the sidewalk or perch on a shallow, steep yard above street level. Move-in-ready single-family homes typically sell from the lower $200,000s to the lower $500,000s. Houses needing significant work can start in the lower $100,000s, and new construction or highly renovated homes can sell into the upper $700,000s.
“Morningside has beautiful homes,” says Nathaniel Nieland, an agent with Coldwell Banker Realty who’s specialized in the Pittsburgh area for over 18 years. “You can still get a big house for less than you could in Highland Park or some of those other areas.” Proximity to trendy areas like Highland Park, East Liberty and Shadyside has increased home values in Morningside. But, the neighborhood’s median single-family home price is still in the mid-$300,000s, which is lower than all three of those East End enclaves.

Community culture, amenities and events that appeal to all
“There’s a very nice mix of young families, professionals and old timers throughout the neighborhood,” Nieland says. “It’s very well placed. You’re super close to the zoo, you can get to all the shopping in Shadyside and East Liberty very easily and you’re very close to Highland Park.” You can always hear the lions roaring from the nearby Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium or go to buzzy East End entertainment hubs, but Morningside also has frequent special events. St. Raphael Church hosts an annual summer festival and popular Lenten fish fry dinners. The Morningside Area Community Council invites neighbors to attend neighborhood clean-ups, game nights and holiday celebrations like Merry Morningside.

The neighborhood is pretty quiet, and not as racially segregated as many of the neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, though it's still disproportionately white. Some of the neighbors are very touchy about dogs being on or near their yards, so be careful of that.
