Posted August 7, 200816 yr Friendship is a small residential neighborhood in Pittsburgh's East End featuring stately detached Victorian homes on tree-lined streets. During the period of urban decline in the mid/late 20th century, many of these grand old homes were subdivided into apartments... and in some cases elaborate architectural features have been defaced. While Friendship is quite pleasant... there is a touch of faded glory present due to some of the more poorly maintained rental properties. In recent years there has been a trend toward increasing home ownership and rehabilitation of structures. Friendship has quick walkable access to business districts in Bloomfield, Shadyside, East Liberty... and the Penn Ave. corridor which straddles Friendship and Garfield. The Sharp Edge is celebrated for its vast selection of Belgian beers glass artists a touch of SoMa nice flag this house was featured in the quirky romantic comedy "Smart People", released in April and starring Dennis Quaid, Thomas Haden Church, Ellen Page and Sarah Jessica Parker some rowhouses that were rehabbed a few years ago the Friendship School
August 7, 200816 yr Friendship?! Did the hippies re-name it that in the 60s-70s? lol Beautiful neighborhood though. Looks like the kind of place you would want to raise a family if you chose to live in the city.

Looks like the kind of place you would want to raise a family if you chose to live in the city. Friendship takes its name from a local farm that stood at the corner of Friendship Ave. and Roup Ave. and was named "Friendship" by its owner, one of William Penn's descendants, who like Penn was a member of the religious Society of Friends.

August 8, 200816 yr Great photo tour! The grandeur may be faded in places, but it's still grand. When I see some of those old Pittsburgh neighborhoods, I can't help but marvel at the industrial wealth that was there in the glory days.
August 10, 200816 yr Has anyone else ever noticed how trendy inner city neighborhoods tend to have a lot of mid to late 90s BMWs?
