Erin Marton, a realtor with Howard Hanna, writes on her 'Burgh Living blog, "The 'Burgh is--for all intents and purposes--a bit of a college town. Not in the conventional sense perhaps, but the Forbes and Fifth corridor that is host to
Carnegie Mellon University,
The University of Pittsburgh,
Chatham University and
Carlow College certainly make it feel a bit like one!"
The universities that occupy that corridor certainly shape the entire Oakland neighborhood.
Marton describes Oakland as a hub of student living, the heart of UPMC and an eating, shopping and cultural destination, with plenty of green space thanks to Schenley Park and Phipps Conservatory.
