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. Visit neigborhood related links:
