Central Northside is a neighborhood in the North Side of the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Originally known as "The Buena Vista Tract", it is densely filled with restored row houses, community gardens and tree lined streets and alleyways.

In the late 19th century, Allegheny, Pennsylvania (later annexed by Pittsburgh) became known for its stately homes, occupied by some of the area's wealthy families.

In Central Northside, the Steps of Pittsburgh quickly connect pedestrians to public transportation and neighborhood schools.
