Many of the grand old homes have seen better days as well -- now chopped up into apartments and quite shabby/ poorly maintained. The main difference between Shadyside and the rest of the city is that it is quieter, and the homes have bigger yards. If you want a hybrid between suburbia and urban-living, Shadyside is your place. I never in a million years imagined Shadyside to be this dull.

Yes that part of Shadyside you're talking about is very Old Money-ish Rich and Family Orientent. Once you cross over Aiken to the East though it becomes Very Yuppyish and Singles Life, this is where the pulse of Shadyside lies... Aiken Ave is really the border of two different Shadyside's.
