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.
