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 garage parking for up to two vehicles.

Another Fantastic stay! Great location, exceptional host(s), and a well appointed space. The private garage door is the icing on the cake. Highly recommended Have stayed at a bunch of different houses in the last 10 years. BY FAR, this was the very best!!!!!! This place was great! My family of 5 with kids ages 7-11 stayed here for a few days in August. It was a little warm on the upper floors (90+ outside), so I did pull out a box fan that I was happy to find and slept comfortably on the awesome bed and linens. The lower level cools off really well, and the kids were quite comfortable even on the third floor. Everything about the house was easy to use and find. The garage was great. The full bath was really well done with a great shower. The half-bath is always nice to have with multiple people in the house. Coffee was great! We enjoyed walking to the little market over a few blocks for some pastries and fruit. We also walked to PNC park and the aviary. We could have walked to the Science Center, but decided against it due to the heat. Restaurants are a bit long to walk to for the kids, but we grabbed takeout from a Thai place and it was delicious. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone looking for a place in the North Shore.
