 One
of the city's largest neighborhoods, Lawrenceville stretches from
the eastern edge of the Strip District, barely a mile from downtown,
along the banks of the Allegheny River, almost to the western border
of Highland Park. Penn Avenue and Butler Street provide convenient
access to the neighborhood. It is also surrounded by Polish
Hill, Bloomfield, Garfield, and Stanton Heights
Lawrenceville
bills itself as a "back to the basics" neighborhood. What
it offers is affordable housing, the convenient Butler Street business
district, and easy access to work, shop and play in Downtown, Shadyside
and Oakland.
This
neighborhood has a house to fit almost any taste. Large single
family brick homes dominate the eastern part of Lawrenceville, while
residents closer to Downtown enjoy the urban character of the streets
lined with turn-of-the-century rowhouses alongside newly constructed
townhomes in Doughboy Square.
Lawrenceville's more than 11,000 residents represent a changing
mix of established families, whose parents and grandparents moved
to Pittsburgh in the late 1800s to work in the factories, and young
professionals, artists, and musicians attracted by the architectural
gems and affordable homes.
