Tucked into Pittsburgh’s East End is Shadyside, a

roughly 14,000-person neighborhood that became

popular during the mid-1800s. Into the 1900s,

wealthy families like the Fricks and Mellons built

mansions in the area, many

along Shadyside’s Fifth

Avenue, or “Million-

aires’ Row.” Today

the nearly one-

square-mile com-

munity’s Victorian

estates and

swanky contempo-

rary homes and

condos sit alongside

tree-lined streets that

offer a sense of privacy

within Pennsylvania’s second

biggest city—even though the enclave is within walk-

ing distance to some of the metro’s top restaurants

and shops. The family-oriented atmosphere makes

Shadyside a great place to raise kids—and dogs:

More than 50 businesses are pooch-friendly.

ADVICE FOR

THE BUYER

There are more

and less dense

parts of Shadyside,

which provide an

eclectic mix of residen-

tial real estate. “The

houses range from smaller Victo-

rians with close-by neighbors to

larger estates,” says Adam Long-

shore, a real-estate agent with

Keller Williams Realty’s Shady-

side office. “Homes surrounded

by large mature trees and larger

grounds offer a sense of privacy

that is desirable.”
