Welcome to the Block

Finding your home is about more than finding the house with the right beds, baths, and wall colors. Your neighborhood is your community that makes your house a home. Each Pittsburgh neighborhood has a unique flavor, and Julie & Ted will work with you to find the area that best fits your tastes. 

SQUIRREL HILL

Known for its main business strip at Forbes and Murray, Squirrel Hill is Pittsburgh's central spot for great coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, and shopping. It's easy to get anywhere with walkable sidewalks, tons of bus routes, and quick access to Oakland, the Waterfront, and 376. Don't worry about too much hustle and bustle though, within minutes you can be at Frick Park or Schenley Park, and you may altogether forget you're in the city. For more, take a look at our Squirrel Hill Neighborhood Report.

GREENFIELD

Enjoy all of the convenience of Squirrel Hill with the tight-knit, down to earth community in Greenfield.
