About this Neighborhood

Upper Hill is part of Pittsburgh's Hill District, a grouping of historically African American neighborhoods that, beginning before World War I, became the cultural center of Black life in the city and a major center of jazz. Today the area holds 18 restaurants, three coffee shops, and seven parks across its storied hillside blocks. The local grain is community-rooted, with pizzerias, dive bars, Indian restaurants, and grocery stores among the most popular draws. Two courts and three fitness options add everyday recreation to a neighborhood with deep cultural history.
