Squirrel Hill is one of our favorite neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, and between its large, historic homes, thriving business district, and other great amenities, it doesn't take long to see why that is.
So in this one, we want to share some of the best reasons to love living in Squirrel Hill North and Squirrel Hill South and give other tips to keep in mind!
Many Pittsburgh residents dream of living in Mount Washington. This neighborhood is one of the best spots in the city for great views of the skyline, access to tourist experiences like riding on the Inclines, and, of course, great restaurants and amenities.
We were really fortunate to live in Mount Washington as renters for several years and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Although we have since moved to the North Side, we often dream about potentially one day returning.
So in this one, we thought we'd focus on what the neighborhood is like for those considering moving there, where we share some of the reasons we love Mount Washington as a place to live, and also share some other important details to keep in mind before moving in.
Please Note: The area that most call Mount Washington typically also includes the city neighborhood of Duquesne Heights near the Duquesne Incline to the west in addition to the city neighborhood of Mount Washington. For the purpose of this article, we're calling both “Mount Washington” as the same logic applies to both neighborhoods on the hilltop.
Pittsburgh's housing scene has been booming in recent years, and some neighborhoods have really become quite the popular spots to live, work, and play.
In this series, we thought it'd be fun to take a look at the major neighborhoods in Pittsburgh and share some reasons why you will love living there, plus give additional tips and insider advice you need to keep in mind before deciding to rent or buy a house in the Mexican War Streets.
So let's take a look at one of our favorite areas in Pittsburgh, the Mexican War Streets, and share some of our favorite details for residents!

We are quite fortunate to have a number of beautiful covered bridges near Pittsburgh, and Washington and Greene Counties just south of the city boast an impressive thirty bridges between them.
Naturally, it should be no surprise that these two counties got together to put on a Covered Bridge Festival at nine of the thirty sites, and have been doing so every September since 1971!
We made our way out to explore a few of the sites in the Covered Bridge Festival and wanted to share a bit more about what you can expect when visiting, as well as a few logistics you need to keep in mind. As far as festivals go, this one can be quite busy!
