Ready to rent, or dying to buy? There’s probably a place in Lawrenceville that will accommodate your needs, style, and budget. Although our housing market has been heating up for the past decade, Lawrenceville still abounds with great values. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find.

Architectural diversity. Roam around Lawrenceville and you’ll see a number of housing types. The residential streets between Butler Street and Penn Avenue feature some grand Victorian ladies, either rehabbed or waiting for some TLC. Areas between Butler Street and the Allegheny River tend towards the intimate charm of 19th-century rowhouses of brick, wooden, or more “modern” materials. For renters, second-floor spaces above retail businesses are always a popular option.

Affordable options. For students, seniors, or families, Lawrenceville offers quality rental units available at many budgets. Homebuyers can still scoop up single-family homes for under $100,000.

A promising investment. Lawrenceville’s real estate market is healthy, but it hasn’t hit its peak. With a location that’s equidistant from the employment centers on the North Side, Downtown Pittsburgh, and Oakland—not to mention the arrival of Children’s Hospital—Lawrenceville housing is definitely on the way up.
