Tucked into Pittsburgh’s West End, Sheraden is a walkable urban neighborhood with a lot of history along its streets. This community owes its name to William Sheraden, a settler who gave up his land to make way for a railway depot. His original Italianate home remains as a beautifully kept historical landmark on Bergman Street. An original page of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s infamous novel, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” has a home in Sheraden, hidden away in the community’s Karples Manuscript Library. Sheraden’s past, present and potential culminate into the convenient and unique area it is today, home to several local businesses and parks.

The Sheraden branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is a staple of the community.

American Foursquares and Victorian Revivals
Sheraden’s residential streets sprawl the lush hills of the West End, lined by sidewalks and dense housing. Renters and homeowners live side-by-side in this old-school Pittsburgh neighborhood, inhabiting homes that date back as far as the late 1800s. 1917 is the median year built in Sheraden, so while midcentury ranch-style homes and bungalows can be found around the neighborhood, narrower, multi-floor residences are more popular, including iconic early-century Victorian Revivals and American Foursquares. Some of Sheraden’s townhouses also display the woodwork trim and steep gabled roofs of the Victorian Revival style. List prices in Sheraden range from $18,000 to $220,000. Homes less than $100,000 are typically older homes with good bones in need of some TLC, while properties closer to $200,000 are already renovated.

Sheraden is a gem if you find the right street. Some streets have city views with very affordable prices. The neighborhood is connected to the city with the West End Busway. There are a couple worthwhile local businesses popping up in the neighborhood. There are however some rough streets with low income housing. The neighborhood declined in the early 2000's but is starting to bounce back. The police have been stepping up their work to clean out the riff raf.
