Across the Allegheny River to the north, Morningside runs adjacent with the borough of Sharpsburg.

This was the time when the Chislett Street trolley line was extended from Stanton Avenue into the neighborhood, bringing with it many families traveling from the East End/Highland Park towards Fox Chapel and Etna.

The neighborhood was fully filled with houses and some small commercial development by the 1930s.

The Morningside neighborhood has eight distinct flights of city steps, many of which are open and in a safe condition.

In Morningside, the Steps of Pittsburgh quickly connect pedestrians to public transportation and provide an easy way to travel through this hilly, populated area.
