**"Don't trust your stay to someone far way!"**
Pittsburgh’s Mexican War Streets are a historic home lover’s dream, brimming with 19th-century charm and vibrant local culture. Originally called Buena Vista, the neighborhood gets its unique name from streets honoring figures and battles of the Mexican-American War, and most of the stunning row homes here date back to the 1800s.
This walkable, NYC- or Boston-style enclave is home to the Mattress Factory Museum, the colorful explosion that is Randyland, indie coffee shops, cozy restaurants, and a handful of lively bars. And when you're ready to explore beyond the neighborhood, you're just a short walk to the North Shore, where you’ll find PNC Park, Acrisure Stadium (let’s be real, it’ll always be Heinz Field), Stage AE, and the best bars & restaurants along the riverfront.
Safe, family-friendly, and one of Pittsburgh’s most sought-after places to live, the Mexican War Streets feel like a world of their own. Stroll past **gorgeous brownstone row homes, soak in the history, and experience the neighborhood like a true local!
We recommend using Uber or Lyft to navigate Pittsburgh—it’s a notoriously tricky city to drive in, but with little traffic! Rideshares are affordable and abundant. If you do choose to drive, we offer free street parking with our included digital parking permit.
