A vibrant urban enclave with rich cultural offerings
Market House Condominiums is situated in the heart of Shadyside, one of Pittsburgh's most desirable neighborhoods. Known for its tree-lined streets, diverse architecture, and bustling commercial districts, Shadyside offers a perfect blend of urban energy and residential charm.
The neighborhood is a shopper's paradise, with three distinct business districts along Walnut Street, Ellsworth Avenue, and South Highland Avenue. These areas are home to a mix of national retailers and local boutiques. Fashion enthusiasts can explore stores like Banana Republic and Lululemon, while those seeking unique finds might prefer local shops such as Hey Betty or Steel City.
Shadyside's dining scene is equally impressive, catering to a wide range of tastes and budgets. From the beloved Pamela's Diner, known for its crepe-style hotcakes, to the upscale Casbah on South Highland Avenue, there's something for every palate. For those who enjoy Asian cuisine, Noodlehead offers Thai street-food inspired dishes in a casual, BYOB setting. Coffee aficionados can get their fix at spots like Arriviste Coffee Roasters.
The neighborhood's nightlife is vibrant yet approachable. Cappy's Cafe, a modest tavern with sidewalk seating, offers a relaxed atmosphere for enjoying craft beers and pub fare.
Grocery shopping is exceptionally convenient for Market House residents. In addition to the connected Market District, there's a Whole Foods Market and a Trader Joe's within walking distance, ensuring easy access to a variety of food options.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Shadyside offers several green spaces. Mellon Park, a short distance away, features a historic walled garden and serves as a tranquil urban oasis. The nearby Baum Grove Parklet and Osceola Parklet provide smaller, more intimate outdoor spaces perfect for a quick escape or a picnic.
Cultural attractions abound in and around Shadyside. The neighborhood hosts the annual Art Festival on Walnut Street, a vibrant celebration of local and national artists. The Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, located in Mellon Park, offers exhibitions and classes for those interested in visual arts.

A ten-minute walk brings residents to the East Busway & Negley Station, a major transit hub.

These options make commuting to downtown Pittsburgh, Oakland, and other key areas of the city quick and convenient.
Cycling enthusiasts will appreciate Shadyside's bike-friendly infrastructure. The neighborhood's relatively flat terrain and dedicated bike lanes make it easy to navigate on two wheels. For longer trips, many of Pittsburgh's buses are equipped with bike racks, allowing for multi-modal commutes.
While the excellent public transit and walkability of the area often reduce the need for personal vehicles, Market House does provide parking options for car owners.
