WHERE YOU’LL BE:
Pittsburgh’s Mexican War Streets are a historic home buff’s dream! Originally called Buena Vista, the streets in the area were named after various Mexican War people & places, and most of the homes in the area are from the 1800s!
Mattress Factory Museum, Randyland, great coffee shops, restaurants, and a handful of bars call the War Streets home. Plus, you’re an easy walk to North Shore attractions like PNC Park, Heinz Field (let’s be real, it’ll always be Heinz Field), and all of the bars & restaurants of the North Shore. A super safe & family friendly area, it feels more like a NYC or Boston neighborhood than Pittsburgh - you’ll love it!
