Highland Park, Pittsburgh, 15206
Highland Park is both a large municipal park and a mostly residential neighborhood in the northeastern part of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Highland Park, the neighborhood, fully encompasses the park. The neighborhood has 6,395 residents and occupies 748 acres built around the 380-acre park, and is bordered by the neighborhoods of East Liberty and Larimer to the south, Morningside to the west, Lincoln-Lemington-Belmar to the east, and the Allegheny River to the north.
The Highland Park neighborhood was developed as a streetcar suburb, residents walked or used streetcars to reach East Liberty, where they worked, shopped, or took trains to other portions of the City of Pittsburgh. As such, the neighborhood was initially almost wholly residential, with homes that are in many cases quite substantial. These homes are spaced further apart than the rowhouses of nearby urban neighborhoods such as Bloomfield and Lawrenceville, but they are much closer together than is typical in a post-1940s automobile suburb. The Highland Park neighborhood’s appeal derives in large part from its setting between the large public park to the north and the East Liberty business district to the south.
