Homewood South Homes for Rent

Homewood South, located east of downtown Pittsburgh, is a neighborhood characterized by close-set single-family homes, eateries, and parks along tree-lined streets. The area is undergoing revitalization with the support of community organizations and a thriving business district. The Homewood-Brushton YMCA plays a significant role, providing resources like food security and tax preparation, as well as arts and computer programming for students. Homewood Park is set for major renovations, including a new football field, plaza, amphitheater, pool, and playground, with completion expected by Spring 2025. Meanwhile, Westinghouse Park offers paved pathways for walking and biking, and Miss Mary’s Garden provides gardening education. Dining options in Homewood South include the Everyday Café for breakfast sandwiches and coffee, Dream Barbecue for soul food, and Sandy Boo's Delights for donuts. The Galaxy Lounge & Entertainment Center adds to the nightlife with a live DJ. Home styles range from American Foursquares and Folk Victorian homes with intricate woodwork trim to modern traditional homes with front porches. The Pittsburgh Public School District serves the area, though schools have room for improvement. Commuters can access downtown Pittsburgh via Interstate 376 or public bus stops on Homewood Avenue. Medical professionals are drawn to the neighborhood due to its proximity to hospitals like West Penn Hospital and UPMC Shadyside. The Allegheny County Airport is 11 miles away, and downtown attractions such as Point State Park and PNC Park are just nine miles away.
