The historic Strip District's return to being a bustling downtown neighborhood
Iron mills, glass factories and aluminum production defined Liberty Avenue throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the warehouses lining the Allegheny River. This tiny but booming area, referred to as the Strip District for the narrow space it claimed, was a huge driving factor in the economy. When the Great Depression impacted America, business in the Strip declined severely, and it would be decades later that Pittsburgh imagined a new future for the area. "There's something magnetic about the Strip District. It manages to be both deeply rooted in its history and wildly forward-looking," says Denise Bortolotti, a Pittsburgh local and Realtor with Piatt Sotheby's International Realty. "The Strip offers a lifestyle that's both urban and livable. Young professionals are moving in for convenience and energy, and longtime residents stay for the community and culture."
The Strip District sits just outside of downtown Pittsburgh.

Converted warehouse lofts and luxury townhomes
While new construction is rising to match the Strip's growing popularity, the neighborhood has masterfully utilized existing buildings for incoming residents. "Old warehouses are constantly being converted into lofts, while new condo buildings and luxury townhomes continue to go up," Bortolotti says. "Inventory ranges from one-bedroom, one-bath condos in the $300,000s to ultra-luxury residences reaching up to $3.7 million." Two-bedroom condos are most common, typically selling between $450,000 and $750,000; the median sale price for the Strip is $650,000. The neighborhood has a much larger percentage of renters compared to owners, and many will buy property to then rent to new residents. The CAP Index Crime Score for the Strip is an 8, with the national average being 4 out of 10; it has particularly high scores for certain property crimes.
Old warehouses have been turned into apartments in the heart of the Strip District.
Luxury apartments are available in a few places in the Strip District.

Historic shops, new retailers and a booming dining scene
In the Strip, locals' everyday lives mingle with waves of tourists visiting to check out the expansive shopping and restaurant scene. From patrons ordering espresso at artisanal coffee shops early in the morning to chatting at wine bars late into the night, the neighborhood never loses its buzz. The Strip District Terminal, a massive 5-block warehouse that once functioned as a produce auction and sales building, now houses high-end retailers, local shops and several eateries. "The real soul of the Strip lives on Penn Avenue. You can swing by Wholey's for the freshest fish in town; there's the famous flower guy on the corner, the scent of cookies from Enrico Biscotti Co.," Bortolotti says. "Dining in the Strip has become a scene of its own." Friends meet at Bar Marco for craft cocktails, order upscale American dishes in the modern dining space of Eleven and pick up sandwiches from the historic Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar.
Eleven has an outstanding menu for residents to enjoy all week in the Strip District.
Wholey's Market is where residents shop for sea food and other grocery needs in the Strip District.

The Strip's year-round packed event calender
The event calendar for the Strip stays packed, from Thursday night trivia at Aslin Beer Co. to live music every Friday during Tunes at the Terminal. "This June, the Strip will host the Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival, which is relocating from the Cultural District to the riverfront," Bortolotti says. The Heinz History Center, the largest history museum in Pennsylvania, constantly hosts lectures, film screenings and workshops.
Live music is one the of main attractions each year at the Three Rivers Arts Festival in the Strip District.
