Pittsburgh's identity is shaped by 90 distinct and vibrant neighborhoods, each of which contributes to the innovative spirit of the city.
Surrounded by prestigious universities, cutting-edge medical centers, and world-renowned cultural institutions, Pittsburgh attracts the talent and diversity needed to support a next-generation innovation ecosystem.
Carnegie Mellon University is nestled between Pittsburgh's Oakland and Squirrel Hill neighborhoods, and directly adjacent to one of three major outdoor areas, Schenley Park.
With three universities, four museums, and several hospitals, Oakland is considered the cultural "second Downtown" of Pittsburgh. Thousands of students, young professionals, and tourists converge on Oakland daily to take part in the Tech-Med renaissance happening here.
The charming and leafy residential area of Squirrel Hill is quiet when compared to the bustle of Central Oakland. Historically affluent, a cluster of indie clothing boutiques, chic décor shops, noodle restaurants, and access to two great parks all contribute to the relaxed pace of the neighborhood.
