Downtown Pittsburgh and Market Square

Downtown Pittsburgh is the most convenient area for PPU student housing. Many nearby apartments are within 0.5 miles of Point Park University, putting the Wood Street campus less than a 10-minute walk away.

Forbes Avenue, Liberty Avenue, Market Square, and William Penn Place are all practical places to start an apartment search. Restaurants, cafés, convenience stores, entertainment venues, and everyday services are close at hand, so living here rarely requires a car. Wood Street, Steel Plaza, and First Avenue stations also provide straightforward connections to internships, shopping districts, and neighborhoods outside Downtown. If campus access comes first, Downtown Pittsburgh is hard to beat.

North Side and North Shore

The North Side and North Shore sit just across the Allegheny River from Downtown. North Side and Allegheny stations are part of Pittsburgh’s free light-rail zone, with trains running to Gateway, Wood Street, Steel Plaza, and First Avenue. Outside class, residents have the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, Allegheny Commons Park, and the North Shore stadium district nearby. It is a good middle ground for anyone who wants some breathing room away from campus without living too far from Downtown.

South Side Flats

South Side Flats stretches along the 15-block East Carson Street corridor, where restaurants, shops, music venues, and older converted buildings give the neighborhood a more lived-in feel. Around five miles of trail follow the Monongahela River, while SouthSide Works and South Shore Riverfront Park bring additional shopping and outdoor space to the eastern end of the neighborhood.

Location matters when looking at apartments around Point Park University in South Side Flats. Apartments near the Smithfield Street Bridge or a direct Downtown bus route generally offer a simpler commute. Walking and cycling routes can also follow the river toward Station Square before crossing into Downtown. The journey is longer than it would be from Market Square, but the trade-off is a neighborhood with more activity after class and plenty to do within walking distance of home.

Mount Washington

Mount Washington overlooks Downtown Pittsburgh and the three rivers, making it a strong option for students who would rather have a quieter residential setting. Apartments near Grandview Avenue are known for their city views, while properties closer to the upper Monongahela Incline station have the more practical route toward Point Park University. From the upper station, students can take the Monongahela Incline down to Station Square, then continue by light rail or walk across the Smithfield Street Bridge.
