Squirrel Hill

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Officially split into North and South but treated as one, Squirrel Hill is the kind of residential neighborhood people rarely leave once they land. A 90 Walk Score, 45 restaurants, and 12 coffee shops mean daily life rarely requires a drive, and the seven schools and sprawling 42 healthcare options make it a practical place to put down roots. Foursquare's regulars map a distinctly pan-Asian food culture here, noodle houses, Thai and Taiwanese kitchens, ice cream parlors, and cocktail bars. Six nightlife spots (averaging 4.5) and a playground add range across the age spectrum. It's a settled, full-service neighborhood that quietly does everything.
