 Most
of East Liberty is in Council District 9. See our Map
of Districts for delineation.
East
Liberty is located east of Downtown and is surrounded by Highland
Park, Garfield, Larimer, Shadyside and Friendship. Once known as Pittsburgh's second downtown, East Liberty has experienced some of the problems besetting every urban
community, but recently, East Liberty has seen the rehabilitation
of key structures in Penn Circle which create a feeling of a promising
future.
The success of the Penn-Highland Building project, which created
a new commercial/office building along with 125 jobs in the heart
of the business district, is a milepost on the road to recovery.
The facade improvement work has done much to encourage optimism,
and the rehabilitation of the Regent Theater is also a move to improve
East Liberty's image.
Homes
in East Liberty range from highrise apartments to townhomes to century-old
Victorians.
A
state-designated Enterprise Zone, East Liberty aims at retaining
and developing its business concerns in a safe and profitable environment.
The Penn Avenue business district is like a gemstone with many facets.
Whether it be footwear, automotive supplies, hair styling, or ethnic
foods that you are looking for, you can find it in East Liberty.
