House is located in a great neighborhood that has mostly single family homes. There are some families with kids, some singles, some young couples and some familes that have lived here for generations. Great pride is taken in the care and updating of these homes. The 'one way' street keeps the neighborhood quiet and decreases the shortcuts to Penn Ave.


The Frick Art and Historical Center features a wonderful cafe [several 'Best of Pittsburgh' honors] and hosts 'First Friday' concerts during the summer months. http://www.frickart.org/programs/concerts/ Frick Park http://www.pittsburghparks.org/Frick17.php begins at the end of the street. This link shows a map with all of the trails. http://www.pittsburghparks.org/userdocs/frickmap.pdf A distinct feature of this neighborhood is the bowling green. The Frick Park Lawn Bowling Club schedules lessons, practices, and tournaments throughout the summer. They are fun to watch! http://www.members.tripod.com/fplbc/

Squirrel Hill http://www.squirrelhill.biz/LBT.html and Regent Square http://www.regentsquare.net/ are closeby.
