South Side Slopes is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's South Side area. The neighborhood comprises the hills from the South Side Flats neighborhood along the Monongahela River from the Liberty Bridge (west) to beyond Josephine Street (east).

In many parts of the South Side Slopes, homes offer panoramic views of the city skyline that span the distance from beyond McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, to Homestead, Pennsylvania. Many homes are perched well above the city skyline. This neighborhood provides access to the South Side Flats by various means, including the many public staircases.

Every autumn the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association (SSSNA) hosts its annual "StepTrek", where participants travel over the various public step streets. Pittsburgh, like many cities in the United States built on hillsides, classifies public staircases as streets. The hills being steep, staircases allowed access to the different parts of the slopes neighborhood. The SSSNA hopes to maintain the staircases as a legacy of its history as a mining town.

The Mission Street steps between Oakley Street and Barry Street in addition to the top of Yard Way off Pius St. offer views of the South Side Flats neighborhood and downtown Pittsburgh. These public staircases are sometimes called paper streets, being pedestrian streets shown on City maps but not accessible by vehicles.

South Side Park is a City Park with hiking trails, a small orchard patch and views of the City of Pittsburgh skyline. It is home to many species of birds, small animals and deer. It contains a small wetlands area, complete with cattails and many species of wildlife. Black locust trees form a mature canopy over the park. It also includes a community garden at the former Bandi Schaum baseball field on the lower plateau off Mission Street across from the Mission Street water pumping station.

A cor-ten sculpture representing the neighborhood's topography and buildings is on display in the garden of Paul of the Cross Monastery.

My fiancé and I stayed here for our trip to Pittsburgh and absolutely loved it. We enjoyed how clean the house was and how close it was to downtown Pittsburgh while still off in a quiet neighborhood. We’d definitely look to book again if the house is available when we return!

The stay was great, plenty of space awesome deck, great house layout. The only trouble we had was parking/ leaving the driveway we were in a large SUV and experienced some trouble spots when leaving and arriving back at the location. Regular sized vehicle would most likely have no trouble.

Glad I was familiar with driving in this area. The location was a short drive to shopping and restaurants. The drive to the property and parking ingress and egress can be challenging. Entrance was not well lit and should be cleaned/repaired. The unit was clean and well appointed. Problems with tv remotes. Could only get one to work for the husband. Next day lock would not activate as I was leaving for the day. Reasonable response time with batteries for the lock and additional remotes. None of them worked. Problem is that the tvs needed connection to internet. Need access to tv menu which could not be accessed with any of the remotes or tv interface. I am tech savvy and bring devices. No time for that. Everything should be working when guests arrive. Though unit was lovely; more attention should be paid to routine maintenance.
