Oakcliffe is that small pocket of homes and businesses that is sandwiched between the Monongahela River and the Boulevard of the Allies, right across the street from Magee Womens Hospital. You might know us as the place where you park when you attend a play at the Pittsburgh Playhouse; or you might know us as the shortcut from the Parkway's Forbes Avenue exit to the Boulevard of the Allies.

We have the urban convenience of public transportation and enjoy easy driving distance to downtown Pittsburgh (5min.), Pittsburgh International Airport (30 min.), Pennsylvania Turnpike (20 min.) and shopping malls at Ross Park (10 min.) and Monroeville (20 min.)
