Not only is Pittsburgh known for its distinct neighborhoods — all 90 of them — it’s also a city where many seamlessly blend into the next. According to the Regent Square Civic Association (RSCA), the East End neighborhood is adjacent to the Hutchinson-Braddock business district, including parts of the City of Pittsburgh, Wilkinsburg, Swissvale and Edgewood. Geographically speaking, the rectangular plateau of Regent Square is bounded on three sides by Fern Hollow Creek to the west and Nine Mile Run to the south and east, and situated along both sides of Braddock Avenue between the Parkway East and Forbes Avenue. One thing is for certain: Regent Square is a hub for community life and walkability, with its vibrant mix of independent businesses, outdoor recreation and noteworthy residential architecture. The area’s community-focused design, charming tree-lined streets, welcoming front porches and active civic association add to the neighborhood’s appeal.Location, location, location, right? Living on the edge of Pittsburgh’s largest historic regional park offers a woodland oasis with 644 acres of natural beauty, along with access to the Frick Environmental Center and Blue Slide Park. Birders flock to Clayton Hill, where some 100 species have been recorded. The park is also home to red clay tennis courts, baseball fields and Pennsylvania’s only public lawn bowling green.The highly sought-after neighborhood provides easy access to public transportation and major highways. Centrally located, the South Braddock and nearby Trenton Avenue commercial districts are animated by eclectic boutiques, restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and businesses of all kinds supporting the community.Need one more reason to love Regent Square? It tastes great as a beer.

In 2017, Regent Square was named the No. 1 Pittsburgh neighborhood and the No. 17 best U.S. neighborhood by Niche. Iconic community events such as the Regent Square Yard Sale, Run Around The Square and Light Up Night draw attendees from all over the region.“Regent Square is a very special community with the kindest people who truly care about each other. It’s a delightful neighborhood where everybody says hello. That’s why I opened an office here 25 years ago,” says Maureen States, owner of Neighborhood Realty Services.“Pittsburgh is undervalued for all the wonderful things we have. People are moving here from other places, and in Regent Square, residents are thrilled to see new people from all over the world coming to this community. It’s very diverse educationally, professionally and culturally, and with all ages,” adds States, who has worked in the real estate industry for 46 years. “2025 is going to be a very strong real estate year, with more home inventory to help balance things out.”These are just a few reasons why we’re kicking off the new year in Regent Square as part of our “Your move” series looking at homes for sale in neighborhoods across the city.
