 Shadyside is in the heart
of Pittsburgh's East End. Walnut Street, Shadyside's prosperous
commercial and entertainment core, offers a bustling atmosphere
of boutiques, shops, lounges, and restaurants designed to suit the
discriminating tastes of residents and visitors. It is surrounded
by Squirrel Hill, Oakland , Bloomfield, Friendship, East Liberty,
Point Breeze, and Larimer. Shadyside was the original name
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Station in that area.
Wood and farmland, replete with shady lanes at the time of its development
in the mid 19th century, the neighborhood has been named appropriately.
Well-maintained, stately Victorian mansions stand in quiet elegance
alongside carefully restored homes. Apartment and condominium
buildings
full of hardwood floors and old-fashioned architectural character,
along with newer, modern homes and buildings are woven together,
making a unique and beautiful neighborhood.
Since the 1920s, a mix of affluent families, young professionals,
artists, students, and apartment dwellers have settled in Shadyside.
