It is wonderful to see how far the renovation of the old Northway Mall now the Block has come. It…read morewas so rundown. It's wonderful they put all that money in to rehab it and make it so nice. They even have a really nice farmer's market weekly starting in May. There are so many nice vendors that come weekly. You can get anything from vegetables to meals to lite bites and dessert. They also usually have at least 1-3 food trucks outside too. We also like going to the stores there too. There are so many nice places to buy discount clothes. Paris Baguette is my favorite place there. They have the best pastries. We love the monthly special, chocolate croissants, mochi donuts and sandwiches. The cakes are so moist and delicious. They also have lots of nIce events for kids and families like a safety event and gingerbread houses at Christmas.

Pittsburgh does not have as many upscale malls as do larger cities, and I think that Ross Park Mall…read moreis the fanciest mall that we have. This indoor mall has two floors and over 150 stores. The anchor stores are Nordstrom, Macy's, JCPenney, and Dick's Sporting Goods. Luxury/designer stores include Burberry, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Co., Kate Spade, and Tory Burch. The mall also has many lower-priced clothing stores, including American Eagle, Banana Republic, Buckle, Chico's, Express, GAP, H&M, Hollister, J.Crew, J.Jill, Levi's, LOFT, Madewell, PacSun, Victoria's Secret, White House Black Market, and Zumiez. Unfortunately, a few of my favorite clothing stores have closed since my previous review. Several other stores sell shoes and accessories, such as Coach, Foot Locker, Kay Jewelers, Lens Crafters, Pandora, Sunglass Hut, Swarovski, Tumi, VisionWorks, and Warby Parker. The mall also has electronics stores such as Apple and phone stores. Stores for home goods include Crate and Barrel, RH (formerly Restoration Hardware), Tempur-Pedic, and Williams-Sonoma. Current restaurants are Auntie Anne's, Cheesecake Factory, Plaza Azteca, Nordstrom Ruscello, several casual restaurants in the food court, etcetera. Unlike many other indoor malls, Ross Park Mall is not dead. Most store fronts are occupied, and only a few store fronts are empty and awaiting future retailers.

Ross Park Mall is always a great experience! It is by far the most successful mall in the…read morePittsburgh area, and I can see why. This mall has a great selection of stores like Macys and Dicks and the employees are always very friendly! The food court is also very tasty with a great selection to choose from. The prices seem a little bit high for all the stores but that's the world we live in today. I definitely recommend this magical place

My favorite businesses are the Market District and restaurants such as Ichiban Hibachi and Sushi, Bartram House Bakery, and Forgotten Taste Pierogies. The mall can be easily accessed from Perry Highway. The parking lot is fairly large. I have not noticed any problems with crime or trash. I do like some of the businesses here, so I should try to come here more frequently in the future.

Current stores at the mall are Giant Eagle grocery store, Petco, Dunham's Sports, Wine & Spirits, GNC, a few restaurants (Wendy's, Taco Bell, and Chinese), and a physical therapy business. I feel interested in shopping at a few of the businesses at this mall. Of course, I could not buy any clothing or household goods here, so I deducted one star. This mall is intended mostly for local residents who need to conveniently pick up some things and do not want to drive farther away. I have experienced no problems with the parking lot.

The anchor tenants here are Whole Foods grocery store, which sells many organic foods but tends to be expensive, and Levin Furniture, which has a large selection of furniture but has not yet fit my personal tastes. Other current businesses at this mall include the Tile Shop, Mattress Firm, healthcare providers (e.g., chiropractor, optometrist, physical therapist, and fitness), personal-care businesses (e.g., nails, salon, and spa), a pet store, a tutoring center, a PNC Bank and a Bank of America, and food establishments (e.g., beer store and some restaurants). My favorite business here is the Graeter's Ice Cream, which serves some of the most delicious ice cream that I have eaten in my life.

My husband and I were fragrance shopping on December 14, 2025 while doing our Christmas shopping…read more While we were smelling a different brand, a female employee walked behind us and asked if we wanted to smell Dior, which was noticeably on the lower end of the price range compared to what we were already viewing. At the same time, another employee positioned an iPhone near where we were standing, which made us feel uncomfortable and singled out. We are both African American, and the behavior of the employees felt prejudiced and unnecessary. We entered the store fully intending to purchase fragrances, but left feeling disappointed and unwilling to spend our hard-earned money in an environment where we felt judged rather than welcomed.

Nordstrom Rack is an off-price department store chain that has hundreds of stores across the U.S…read more Its parent company is the luxury department store Nordstrom. This particular Nordstrom Rack is in The Block Northway shopping center. This Nordstrom Rack has two floors. The top level contains merchandise for men, children, and home, and the bottom level contains merchandise for women. I focused on the women's clothing. I saw an assortment of shirts, pants, shorts, dresses, coats, and other apparel that previous retailers could not sell. I recognized brands such as Calvin Klein and Nike, but I had not previously heard of some of the other brands. I thought that the prices were low to moderate. I decided to purchase a pair of UnionBay shorts for $23. The cashier quickly and correctly rang up my purchase.

I most frequently visit this mall for the Target and the Kuhn's, which sell a good selection of products for hygiene, cleaning, home, groceries, etcetera at reasonable prices. I have always been able to find a good parking spot in the parking lot. The mall is safe and clean. The mall is located along the busy McKnight Road for easy access.

It was enclosed a number of years ago and did okay as a mall until the mid-1980s. When Ross Park Mall opened up, it sucked all the business away from North Hills Village and Northway. Northway became a second-tier mall and North Hills Village became a big box center. North Hills Village now has Best Buy, Target, Staples, etc. From a dollars and cents point of view, it was probably a wise decision to go big box. But North Hills Village is just like any other big box center found from Seattle to Miami.
