Greenfield

Greenfield is absolutely the perfect neighborhood for a graduate student. When I moved here, I was already familiar with most of Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods, and I had some high hopes for where I’d live. I found that Greenfield exceeded all of my expectations.

It’s only a few miles from campus, and it is located on several bus lines. A grocery store is within walking distance, and all of South Side’s nightlife, Murray Avenue’s cool shops and restaurants, and Oakland’s academic and cultural facilities are just a few minutes away. I really love that I can rent half of a duplex house for only $400 per month, and that my community is safe and quiet. Plus, I’ve become friends with all of my neighbors!

Greenfield seems to be overlooked when folks move to the area, but seriously—in terms of finding a new place to call home, you can’t beat this neighborhood.
